The first thing that caught my attention was that his graphics are very low, I don't think it is possible to get your game look like that from Valorant's own settings. But the most striking thing is that he can clearly see through his poison clouds. Is this some kind of a mod? Does anyone know?
External link →It's probably just nvidia settings shenanigans, super low LOD level.
This used to work in csgo as well to remove smokes.
EDIT: Just so that we're clear, this is super easy to detect and WILL probably get you banned, don't bother.
Yeah, I'm working with nvidia to figure out the best way to stop this kind of thing.
Definitely don't recommend people do this, like /u/Tsanummy says it's not hard to detect.
it's not hard to detect
Then why is not not detected yet in the highly praised anticheat? It's not like this bug was abused/tried in Battlefield V and other games already over a year ago...
Here's a simple but unsatisfying answer for you: It's not detected yet because I haven't made the detection yet. I haven't made the detection yet because this problem hasn't been my top priority.
The reason why Vanguard doesn't prevent this is because technically this is how graphics drivers are meant to work. It's a legitimate feature but not one we want to support on Valorant. Vanguard proactively protects against cheats that plan to modify the game rather than stuff like this.
Instead of making the detection I'd rather fix the underlying issue in game. If this becomes more popular or a fix will take longer than I'd like then I'll make a detection and ban all the people.
Anyone using this for competitive advantage should know that they can be banned for it even if I have to do it manually without an automated detection.

Sorry, we want the game to have as consistent a look as possible for all the people playing.
We'll try and optimize the game further to help you run it but we're unlikely to implement any graphics options that drastically change how the game looks.
Hey, I have a question about radar, why did you guys update it that it no longer shows the character you are playing but replaced with white blob that is significantly big on the radar. No one asked for it please do not go the h1z1 route.
We think that showing your character portrait made it harder for players to read the minimap and that it was useless information since you should know what agent you're playing without needing to see the portrait.
There's a good chance that we change how this looks further to improve clarity more. I personally don't like how big the player indicator is and I'd be surprised if I was the only one.
