The darts of Russian initiator Sova become deadlier as Valorant’s meta grows. A single recon bolt can expose the entire A site of the map Fracture.
Intel gatherers are crucial to winning a game of Valorant. The Initiator agents can help gain first information and clear route for aggressive duelists. But, Sova players have taken things up a notch with this spawn lineup. Using this dart, teams can strategize within their base without stepping into the enemy’s line of fire.

has found a Sova lineup on Fracture that clears almost all corners on A site.
Fracture is easily the least defender-sided map in Valorant due to the apparent attacker-favoring layout. The defenders are sandwiched in the middle of the H-design, with attackers cornering them from all angles. This lineup will make winning a piece of cake for attackers, and defenders can also use it in particular situations.
This bolt travels all the way from attacker spawn to A site. Here’s how to do it.
Place your crosshair on the corner of the metal ledge.
Activate two ALT fire dots.
Load up to two charges and release the dart.
The bolt with land on the left corner of the drop, revealing all crucial angles on Fracture’s A site. This will help your teammates decide whether to hit A or not. If more than one enemy is visible through the dart, it means A isn’t the optimal site to hit. The recon doesn’t cover the common under A and top A areas. Two exposed enemies suggest that one more is likely hiding under shelter or on the top of it.
This dart can also come in handy mid-round to bait enemies. The defenders may consider rotating or resetting upon noticing Sova’s dart on A site in the middle of the round. Defenders can also use it to retake an area once attackers have planted the Spike. A site split will provide the defenders coming in from A main to attack exposed enemies instantly. All in all, this is an insanely helpful lineup for both attackers and defenders on Fracture.
