Spike Rush

Spike Rush is a quick-play Valorant mode designed to last roughly eight to fifteen minutes, far shorter than a full competitive match. Every player on a team spawns each round with the same randomly chosen weapon, and all five attackers carry a spike, so any of them can plant.

Rounds are won best-of-seven, and power-up orbs scattered around the map grant temporary buffs like extra ability charges or movement speed. Because economy and buying are removed, Spike Rush is popular for warming up, testing agents, or completing daily missions. Many players use it to practice on fresh Valorant accounts before committing to ranked.
