Valorant has already won the hearts of millions of players thanks to its unique gameplay, vast world, and diversity of agents that open up endless possibilities for strategy. If you are already tired of the usual mode of planting and defusing the Spike, it's time to consider another incredible aspect of the game - Team Deathmatch (TDM). The editorial team at bo3 has prepared a detailed guide on the Team Deathmatch mode in Valorant, where you will find tactics, tips, and other useful information that will be handy for both newcomers to this mode and veterans.

What is Team Deathmatch?

Team Deathmatch is one of the freshest game modes in Valorant. It's a team mode where players are divided into two teams of five. Each chooses their agent and appears on the map. The mode consists of four phases, each with a unique choice of weapons. The later the stage, the better the weapon options available to players. Playing Team Deathmatch in Valorant is possible with any account level, with no restrictions like in Ranked. We will discuss each aspect of this mode in more detail in other sections of this material.

Victory

Let's talk about the most important thing, "How to win Team Deathmatch in Valorant". To win the game, all you and your teammates need to do is make 100 kills. The team that first reaches 100 kills wins. If the game timer runs out, the side leading in the number of kills wins. If both teams have the same number of kills, the game ends in a draw.

Time and Phases

As mentioned above, Team Deathmatch in Valorant is divided into four stages, at each of which players can choose weapons of their choice. The offer includes from two to four weapon options, depending on the stage. The weakest weapons are in the first stage, and the most powerful are in the last. The duration of the first three stages is 75 seconds, and the last stage is 345 seconds, totalling 9 minutes and 30 seconds for players to achieve 100 successful kills.

You can set up your Team Deathmatch loadout in Valorant in various ways. Even during the last stage, you will be able to use weapons from the earlier stages. The list of available weapons at each stage can be found in the image above.

Strategies

After examining the main aspects of the mode and ways to victory, we move on to the section dedicated to increasing your chances of success. Here we will share several strategies for TDM in Valorant.

• Pair Play. No guide on team shooters is complete without a strategy for team or pair play, and this guide for Valorant's Team Deathmatch mode is no exception. Playing in pairs is one of the most effective strategies in this mode, where everything depends on the number of kills.
