"Valorant Mobile" new update "Explosive Point Approaching" arrives, ushering in a new tactical era with new agents

On the exciting day of December 18th, "Valorant: Source Energy Operation" (hereafter referred to as "Valorant Mobile") launched its brand-new update "Explosive Point Approaching," bringing players an unparalleled gaming experience. The update includes the new agent Titanium Fox, the new item Regeneration Armor, the new map Lotus Ancient City, a brand-new Bullfighting mode, a new season battle pass, and numerous rewarding events, all combining to enrich the content and let players fully enjoy the thrill and joy of gaming as the year ends and a new one begins.

The new agent Titanium Fox undoubtedly stands out as the brightest star in this update. With his distinctive futuristic appearance and captivating backstory, he quickly caught the attention of many players. Titanium Fox’s skill set is brilliantly designed, making him destined to be a key figure in future matches.

As a tactical master skilled in both offense and defense, Titanium Fox’s abilities focus on "information control" and "area intervention." His signature skill "Stealth Crawler" deploys small reconnaissance drones that move autonomously along the ground and transmit enemy positions in real-time. Offensively, Titanium Fox can accurately track enemy movements with this skill; defensively, it provides early warnings of enemy flanking maneuvers.

Additionally, Titanium Fox’s "Precision Drop" and "Express Delivery" skills can block enemy movement or inflict significant damage. His ultimate ability "Doomsday Judgment" is especially impressive, summoning a heavy attack drone that players can program with a flight path to carpet bomb along a set route, with each explosive causing massive area-of-effect damage. In team fights, Titanium Fox can coordinate with teammates to push objectives, becoming a powerful force for turning the tide of battle.

Titanium Fox’s skill design not only allows him to build a solid defense on the battlefield but also enables him to excel in reconnaissance, blockade, and fire support roles, creating winning opportunities for the team. This design makes Titanium Fox accessible yet deep: new players can effectively contribute using his skills, while experienced players can explore advanced tactics, unlocking his full potential on the field.

Beyond the addition of Titanium Fox, the "Explosive Point Approaching" update offers players a wealth of new content, enhancing the game experience through new maps, items, gameplay modes, and rewards.

The brand-new map "Lotus Ancient City" immerses players in a battlefield filled with Eastern aesthetic charm. Ancient pavilions, tranquil lotus ponds, and densely packed buildings nestled among mountains and streams define the scenery. The map’s design emphasizes multi-level vertical space and intricate pathways, providing agents with diverse tactical options. Players can use high vantage points for sniper suppression or sneak through hidden trails for rapid flanking, making every battle unpredictable and tactically rich.

Simultaneously, the new Bullfighting mode has been launched. This mode disables all hero abilities, relying purely on players’ shooting skills, reflexes, and team coordination to determine the winner. Bullfighting supports asymmetric matches from 1v1 up to 3v5 or even 5v1, with players free to choose the number of opponents and map areas. The first to win 10 rounds claims victory. This mode tests individual skill and team synergy, offering players a fresh competitive experience.

The newly introduced strategic item "Regeneration Armor" adds new dynamics to matches. Players can purchase this item during economic rounds or critical moments; it slowly restores armor over time. As long as the player is not defeated within the round, armor charges carry over to the next round. This item significantly boosts individual survivability and sustained combat capability, making endgame strategies more flexible and varied.

With the new update, the latest season battle pass also goes live. The rewards are plentiful, including new gun skins, R-points, and source energy coins. From December 18th to January 22nd, the launch event offers exciting bonuses. Players logging in within the first 24 hours receive 1000 VP, the "Ancient City Pioneer" exclusive avatar frame, and two 7-day weapon trial cards (Phantom + Odin), among other rewards. Logging in for three consecutive days unlocks a 7-day Titanium Fox hero trial card and the Lotus Ancient City exclusive dynamic spray. Players who log in for seven days consecutively will earn the "Explosive Energy Moment" exclusive spray.

Moreover, the "Explosive Challenge" event starts simultaneously. Players who win five matches in Bullfighting mode can redeem the exclusive "Tactical Master" title. Achieving a three-win streak in ranked matches unlocks a special loading frame. Completing designated match tasks rewards players with large amounts of experience and currency. On New Year’s Day 2026, a bonfire party event will begin, where every five minutes of 5-player team matches will grant the entire team exchange coins, redeemable for free gun skins and numerous accessory rewards.

Throughout the season, all players can level up their battle pass to earn free premium rewards such as the "Warfront Outpost Phantom" and "Special Forces: Cobra Fury" weapon skins. Even without spending money, players can obtain cool gear. Those who unlock the premium pass will receive additional exclusive "Cyber Sentinel" series weapon skins, featuring a futuristic sci-fi style that perfectly showcases agents’ individuality.
