According to the Valorant Update 6.0 patch notes, Lotus has three bomb sites and more than one secret that wanders around the ancient walls and corridors of this mysterious and old map. Besides this new map addition, Valorant Update 6.0 made some changes and tweaks to Split, changing some fundamental parts of the map that will change how players go into the different sites and interact with the map.
Besides these tweaks, Breeze and Bind were completely removed from the ranked and unrated game modes, but players can still experience them in other game modes. Omen also received an interesting tweak. Now, if Dark Cover is placed inside walls, it will fall to the height of the nearby ground.
Besides the tweaks in additions, Riot Games made many bug fixes regarding cosmetic items, agents, and maps. Riot Games brought a lot into the game with Valorant Update 6.0, improving the gameplay experience and giving players another reason to come back into the game for more fun.
