Available for about a year, Fracture is a unique map in VALORANT, and in FPS games in general.. It has, in fact, two starting sites for the attackers, which completely upsets the tactics, both for the attackers and the defenders, since the latter must keep an eye on many more potentially dangerous places. If Fracture has its followers, as always, part of the community is not fond of this card. This is why Riot Games will make some changes.
In a video posted to TikTok, level designer Joe “Pearl Hogbash” Lansford explained that Fracture was going to be improved soon. Site A and the area called Dish, which is an area connecting one of the attackers’ spawn sites and Site A, are the affected targets. On Twitter, the latter explains that it is not a rework of the map, to avoid any confusion.
Just to clarify a bit, we’re not really “reworking” the map. The core gameplay will still be the same. Like I said in the video, we’re making quality of life changes and some updates around A and dish.
Excited to get these out to everyone soon! https://t.co/bZTahezxy2

We will therefore not discover a new map, when the new version arrives, but rather improvements to make it more fun to play and more balanced on certain points. For now, the community seems happy with Riot’s intentions with the Fracture changes, as we can see in response to the tweet. We’ll know more when the Fracture update goes live.
As a reminder, VALORANT recently welcomed Update 5.04, which marked the beginning of Act II of Episode 5.
