Valorant Practice Mode Explained
Apart from the onboarding session that Valorant offers to new players, there are also additional practice modes that are designed to help all Valorant fans improve their aim and speed or simply discover their unique playstyle. The official training mode is called The Range. Although memorizing this map will not benefit you in any way during actual gameplay since it's not included in the real map pool, you can still explore different weapons or test your skills without worrying about getting killed.
Playing in The Range will also allow you to test each Agent's abilities. Additionally, you can choose between various practice modes, depending on which skill you would like to improve. Shooting Test mode will help you develop a better aim if needed. You can also choose to train yourself in Spike Planting and Spike Defuse - these modes offer exactly what it says on the tin! As with many other games, the Practice mode for Valorant can definitely be developed even further, and fans are now speculating about a potential Bot Match mode coming to the game.

It was released on June 26, 2024, as a regular and epilogue golden player card. Let's take a look at the leak!

Valorant Episode 9 Potential New Mode
The leaked lines of code from the Episode 9 update refer to a Bot Match twice, and when we combine that with the addition of the Bot Means Business player card, we can assume that there could really be a potential new mode included in Valorant soon. However, it's important to note that these are simply speculations, and none of this information has been officially confirmed.
There were some users on X who jokingly commented that their teammates in Competitive and Unrated were already bots anyway, and a new mode would be completely irrelevant. However, even if the so-called Bot Match appears in the game, it will definitely take a while. Have fun and good luck on your next adventure.
