VALORANT players can rejoice as Bind once again joins the map pool after receiving a slew of changes to its design.

Bind and Breeze were both taken out of the map pool as we saw Split and Lotus take their place. Now, VALORANT will bring Bind back into the fold with multiple changes to its layout. You can expect to see the map and its updates when Episode 6 Act III goes live on April 25.

All changes coming to Bind with VALORANT Episode 6 Act III

Riot Games takes the competitiveness of VALORANT very seriously. From Agents to maps, the team makes constant changes to ensure competitive integrity and that every aspect of the game is as balanced as possible.

The Bind changes are the next step in creating an everchanging system that keeps VALORANT fresh. Below you will find before and after changes delivered by Riot Games. The A side of the map receives most of the overhaul, but there are a couple shifts near B to watch out for.
