VALORANT players are reporting multiple bugs and exploits on Icebox, the game’s new snow-covered map. A Killjoy exploit previously seen on Split has shown up again on Icebox, as well as an Omen bug that lets you teleport under the map. Riot Games did address some of the issues, and hopefully no others pop up before the map joins the competitive rotation later this month.

The Killjoy exploit involves the agent’s Turrets being placed outside the map, where they can’t be taken down. By standing in a certain position on Icebox, players can place the Turret under the floor in B Kitchen. This makes the Turret extremely difficult to spot, and seemingly impossible to destroy. Enemy players can typically take down Killjoy’s Turrets with a couple of their own shots, but the machine is completely protected by surrounding walls when using this exploit.

A similar glitch was found on Split when Killjoy was first introduced to VALORANT earlier this year. The glitch allowed you to place the Turret under the map, though enemies were still able to destroy the machine by shooting at it. Killjoy’s Turrets are an especially powerful aspect of the game, allowing her to locate enemies and chip away at their health with a slew of bullets. 

Another bug found on Icebox involves Omen’s ultimate ability - From the Shadows. Reddit user DeviBoy17 demonstrated the glitch on the VALORANT Subreddit, showing how to use Omen’s teleport ability to reach the small triangle-shaped area behind B Kitchen. This area is not actually accessible on the map, as it is placed in between different areas.

The only way to access this part of the map is with Omen’s teleportation ability. Once inside the area, players can clearly see and shoot into the different pathways leading into B Site, as well as the kitchen space above it. Riot did patch out the Omen bug earlier this week, while warning players to still be “ready for anything.”

Icebox is currently only available to play in casual mode, but it is expected to be added to the competitive rotation on October 27th.
