Valorant map pool: All maps in rotation for Episode 8 Act 2

Even though Riot has launched a handful of maps to Valorant, not every single one of them is available on the Ranked playlist. The developer always keeps seven maps in rotation to allow players to learn the ins and outs of each one in no time.

This format also gives the developers the time they need to work on maps that aren't currently active to either tweak them or adjust them to allow for a better playstyle given that the game is constantly evolving.

On April 30, Valorant launched the game's Patch 8.08 to introduce multiple changes to Viper and Cypher. While Valorant fans hoped to see changes to the map rotation for the game's Ranked playlist, they were met with a negative answer from Riot Games.

Episode 8 Act 2 map pool

Here are all the maps available now that Episode 8 Act 2 of the game is underway:

• Icebox
• Lotus
• Sunset
• Breeze
• Ascent
• Bind
• Split

This map pool was activated at the beginning of 2024, after the start of Episode 8 Act 1 and it remains the same after now that Act 2 has begun. 

Keep in mind that this map pool only applies to Ranked modes and the official Valorant esports competitions. If you wish to play other maps, you could jump into some casual game modes like Team Deathmatch or Spike Rush.

It is difficult to predict when the map pool is going to change again, but Riot usually adjusts it whenever a map has received significant changes and is ready to return or after the start of each Episode. 

Once we get a new map pool, we will update this article to properly show all the maps currently active in the shooter.
