Drift is expected to launch today with Patch 7.12, in the middle of Episode 7 Act 3. Separate from VALORANT's Competitive map pool, it will join the existing maps in the Team Deathmatch map pool (Piazza, District and Kasbah).

What Are the VALORANT Drift Map Features?

Drift's layout is designed similarly to Piazza, District and Kasbah, with three lanes. What is different is the amount of detail used in creating Drift and some unique features that drive interesting playstyles.

Filled with wooden buildings, a coastal facility and several shops representing a market floating on the shore, Drift offers a much different environment from other TDM maps.

Unlike Piazza, District and Kasbah, Drift's lanes are isolated, letting players fight more predictable fights instead of dying to a bullet fired from a different part of the map. There is a highly detailed middle section that ties the map's lanes together, including a zip line. Besides close-range fights under the rooftops, you can also expect some exciting long-range encounters that will put your sniping skills to the test.

What Are the Best Agents to Pick on the VALORANT Drift Map?

Besides the duelist picks we are used to when playing Team Deathmatch, we can make use of Sova and Fade. Picking a controller such as Omen and Brimstone can also give you a big advantage. Agents like Jett and Raze will let you use the zip line and the middle passages most efficiently. You will be able to switch between lanes and offer support wherever needed.

Drift shares similarities with many maps, including Breeze, Lotus, Split and Haven. Its design makes things easier both for players who like to take part in predictable fights and for players who prefer to keep things random to increase their movement potential. However, Drift stands apart from maps to date with its unique environment.
