Valorant Escalation

Valorant Escalation is the latest game mode added in the new Valorant update. Escalation is a limited-time game mode. In this game mode, the players have to kill and race the opposition through a cycle of different weapons and abilities, advancing together as a team through 12 Escalation levels. The first team to finish level 12, or the furthest along in 10 minutes, wins the Escalation.

This is a team mode, but each player is expected to play a certain role to complete each level. In addition to helping their team earn the points needed to complete each level, the players also must also get at least 1 kill with each weapon/ability to progress themselves, even if their team is already on a higher Escalation level. Players can stand to gain 800 XP for each completed match, add an extra 200 XP when they pull off a win. Check out the new Valorant Gun Game Rules:

  • 5v5 game mode
  • 12 Escalation levels (each level has a specific weapon or ability)
  • The first team to 12, or furthest along in 10 minutes, wins
  • Team together must earn 7 points on a level to advance to the next level
  • A kill on the current level earns 1 point
