Aimlabs News

Another week down, and another update hitting Aim Lab 🛠️ Diving straight in this week, we’ve brought our brand new platform, Playerbase directly into Aim Lab with an absolute whirlwind of opportunities, an overhaul to our leaderboards with a new comparison feature along with crushing the little buggies - let’s take a look 💪

[h2]Creator Studio: Player waypoints[/h2]



Lovers of Creator Studio have been asking for player waypoints to help replicate on-rails style shooters or player movement on a zipline. Setting down the player waypoints and connecting them will now automatically move the player to each of the points connected.

And if that’s not enough great VALORANT content, you can also check out the all-new VALORANT profile page under the “Profile” section in-game, where you’ll find our first steps towards breaking down your VALORANT stats and putting information and practice options all at your fingertips.


[h2]The Combine[/h2]

Consisting of four new tasks and an exclusive task by Sentinels pro TenZ, this new combine will test your skills in both aggressive and defensive situations, as well as your peeking and precision - And as with before, you’re ranked on your plays and get a nifty player card once you complete the combine!

To accompany this - We are also giving 100 lucky winners a chance to win $25 by sharing your player cards - To enter, all you need to do is share your player card on twitter with the #AimLabCombine tag, and of course to give us a cheeky follow!

The top 5 winners in each main task will bag themselves a tidy $100 - And the top 5 on TenZ’s task will win a Sentinels jersey - signed by TenZ himself!

The combine will run from August 11th to August 25th, and will end at 5:59 EST on August 25th, so be sure to get your hours in!



[h2]The Tasks[/h2]

[h3]VCT Haven Short Entry[/h3]

This task focuses on your entry skills, peeking and map awareness - Targets appear all over the entry line in common positions and shoot back if you overexpose yourself. Peek carefully, peek quickly, and push forward.


[h3]VCT Split Angle Hold[/h3]

Holding an angle and knowing how far away from an angle to hold for your reaction time and abilities is critical in any defensive role - And that’s something this task will stress test. Waves of three targets will rush across your screen towards a kill box, and your job is just to kill them.

Sounds simple - But don’t let that fool you. Get your lineups right and go for gold!


[h3]VCT Breeze Headshot[/h3]

VALORANT isn’t all about the close range engagements - Long angles and sightlines come with their own set of challenges, and no map highlights this more than Breeze.

This task will pit you against a single enemy going from Breeze B main to B site, taking three bodyshots or a single headshot. Aim for the head and take your time.


[h3] VCT Bind Wallpeek[/h3]

Defending a site can be tricky, especially when you want to stick it to the enemy team. That’s what this task will help you with - Defend your site from attacking enemies, and try not to get shot.


[h3]TenZ Haven Clutch[/h3]

Take a walk in the pros shoes - Relive a clutch moment from TenZ first hand!

This task pits you on Haven A Site and floods you with constant targets - When one dies, a new one will spawn.

Experience the tension that can only come from a clutch situation, and develop your skills until it becomes second nature.



[h2]VALORANT Profile [/h2]

Are you a VALORANT player looking for statistical insights in order to improve? Good news: our VALORANT profile is here! When you connect your Riot account to Aim Lab (if you haven’t done so already), we’ll start pulling your match data in order to help you see how you stack up.

This is the first step towards building deeper statistical insights within Aim Lab so everything is at your fingertips, and you can go straight from analyzing your performance to practicing with just a couple clicks of the mouse.

Let us know what you think!
