You’ve been playing Omen all wrong in Valorant

If you find yourself on the Bind map, you might be tempted to use the teleporters. By all means do, but if you also play as Omen, you can combine the teleporter with his Shrouded Step ability for the ultimate fake out.

Before you enter a teleporter, select a point on the map you want to teleport to with Shrouded Step. As you cast the ability, jump into the teleporter. If you cast the ability in midair, your momentum will carry you into the teleporter while casting. In one second, you will be right back where you started, give or take a few feet.

You might wonder what the point of this tactic is. Isn’t the ability to teleport supposed to beam you to a different location, not to the same one? Well, if you are chased by enemies and try this trick, they won’t know where you are since fake teleporting breaks Shrouded Step’s normal distance limits. Opponents will look in the wrong direction and give you a precious few seconds to hopefully finish them off.
