One of Valorant's fan-favorite maps, Bind, is finally coming back to the game with Episode 6 Act 3. Numerous changes have been made throughout the layout that players can experience first-hand when the upcoming update goes live. Major alterations have been made to A Teleporter, A Bath, A Site Wall (near Tower), and many such areas.

Bind’s orientation in Valorant has always been a bone of contention amongst players. While one half of the playerbase considers the map balanced, the other considers it quite defender-sided.

With the release of Episode 6 Act 1, this map, along with Breeze, had been removed from the active Competitive and Unranked pool in Valorant. However, that wasn’t the end of it. Bind will finally make it back to the game and players will have a chance to gain a fresh experience with the upcoming update.


Everything fans need to know about the changes to Bind in Valorant Episode 6 Act 3

Valorant’s Bind has two sites that can be attacked or defended. The map shares a unique feature of teleportation pads that allows players to teleport from Site A to Site B and vice versa. They can devise a variety of strategies to work into the site. With such aspects in the bag, this Valorant map has significantly changed in many areas.

The Teleporter Exit on A has been shifted near A Bath entrance. As a result, rotations from B to A Site can be achieved more quickly.
