About the Summit Map
7 Valorant’s newest map drops players into a Radiant training academy and monastery set high in the mountains of China, with architecture inspired by the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province. Summit launched on June 24, 2026 as part of Season 2026, Act 4, entering the Competitive pool immediately alongside a dedicated Summit-only queue. 6 It is a 3-lane 2-site map and is the thirteenth standard map to be added to the game. 6 Summit’s main unique feature is its three droppable walls — one on A Side between A Art and A Garden, one on Mid between Mid Window and Mid Bottom, and another on B Side between B Tower and B Site. The walls can be activated by destroying a 125 HP switch that is connected to each wall.

🎮 About the Tactifriends Collection
5 The Tactifriends Collection is a cosmetic compilation collection of primarily Act Battle Pass content about a set of “Tacti-” animals and other animal characters who make recurring appearances in some of the passes.

💡 Tips for Finding Tactifriends on Summit
7 What sets Summit apart from every other map in the game is a set of permanent reactive walls that can be triggered mid-round, physically reshaping sightlines and rotation paths in ways no other map attempts. This makes exploring Summit for Tactifriends even more exciting, as the map itself feels dynamic and ever-changing. 3 It’s worth noting that some Tactifriends may not be visible on medium or low video settings — for example, certain characters are only visible on high graphics settings. So make sure to turn up your graphics settings before your hunt
