VALORANT is notoriously difficult, especially in markets outside of PC, where the bulk of its players will have spent years mastering the craft of Counter-Strike's stop-and-shoot system rather than the usual gung-ho spray-and-pray shooters.
After being thrown into the deep end with only a small training course to learn on, console players are slowly getting around to the game's mechanics, which are very counterintuitive to similar and popular games like Apex Legends, Overwatch, and even Call of Duty.
But as VALORANT Mobile approaches, leaks of a massive training ground and in-game site-clearing tutorials have left the long-time PC players quite jealous.
VALORANT Mobile's reported Training mode leaves PC players envious
VALORANT Mobile has recently been in a public Beta test in China, and the NDA has now been lifted, leaving creators the opportunity to share their thoughts and early gameplay.
One clip has surfaced online in which players show off the Training mode, which will likely be necessary as you get used to the touch controls or your mobile controller.
The mode is "basically Aimlabs" and will allow you to go into depth about the gun controls, practice pre-firing and angle clearing, and go into full site retakes with enemies in popular choke positions.
This is much more than PC players have, who will soon be growing tired of connect headshots on the brainless bots.
"At this point seeing console and now mobile it’s abundantly clear that VALORANT hates PC," one player typed on Twitter with gritted teeth. Another added, "So we're adding all the good features onto mobile and not PC, got it."
Others hoped that this would also land on console, especially given that most PC players nowadays will have a good understanding of these mechanics. Still, if VALORANT wants to attract new players, maybe this noob-friendly feature might be essential, given then high skill floor.
