Players take up the roles of the various agents, and they have to either attack the opponents or defend themselves from the opponents' attacks, all while trying to manage an objective.

The introduction of KAY/O has caused several debates in the gaming community. It is evident that KAY/O closely resembles the foundation. However, it can never be stated without proper evidence whether Valorant explicitly copied the character or if they were simply inspired by Fortnite.

Amidst all these controversies, both Epic Games and Riot Games are yet to divulge anything regarding the same.
