We should know what the Sunset map is, how it works and what strategies we should use. If we understand the layout, the sites, the mid area and the agents we can play better and help our team win. In this guide I will share everything I learned from playing on Sunset and give you tips that are easy to follow
What Is The Sunset Map In Valorant
Sunset is a new map in Valorant made by Riot Games. It is based on the city of Los Angeles and has a clean design with two bomb sites and a strong mid area. The map has places like a market , a boba shop, basketball court and alley. It also has a mechanical door that players can open or break. The map is simple but full of angles and corners where enemies can hide. That is why we should learn the layout and use good utility
What Are The Sites On Sunset
There are two bomb sites on Sunset
A Site
The site is wide and open. It has places like A main elbow, A alley and back site. Attackers can enter from A main and defenders can hold from elbow or alley. There are many angles so we should use smokes and flashes to clear the area
B Site
B site is smaller and has more corners. It has places like B main B boba B market and defender spawn. There is a big pillar in the middle and a lot of hiding spots. We should use utility to check corners and plant safely
What Is Mid Control On Sunset
Mid control is very important on Sunset. The mid area connects both sites and gives teams a way to rotate. It has places like mid courtyard, mid top and mid doors. If we control mid we can attack both sites and stop enemy rotations. Controllers like Viper and Brimstone are good for mid control
My Personal Experience On Sunset
When I first played on Sunset I did not know the callouts. Then I watched a map guide and learned the layout. I started using Cypher to hold B site and Skye to flash A site. I also used Viper to control mid. My team started winning more rounds and I felt more confident. Now Sunset is one of my favorite maps

Controllers help with smoke and area denial. Viper is strong because her wall covers many angles. Harbor is good because his cascade fits the map layout
Initiators

- Sova
Initiators help with flashes and recon. Skye is good for clearing corners. Sova can use recon bolt in mid and sites
Sentinels
