Fracture

is the seventh map to be released in VALORANT.
==Features==
Fracture's unique design splits up the map into four neutral quadrants; four central areas between the quadrants that contain the sites and Attacker spawns, and a central zone where Defenders spawn. On Round Start, Defenders can access the sites, which are on opposite sides of the map. Attackers all spawn in one area, but can reach the other side by using the cross-map ziplines that take them underneath Defender Spawn. During the Buy Phase, Defenders are unable to hear Attackers using the ziplines.
Each quadrant contains one orb, meaning Fracture has a total of four orbs as opposed to the usual total of two orbs that are present on most other maps.
A Hall contains an automatic door that works similarly to the exit room doors for Bind's teleporters, as it will instantly open once a player gets close enough, making a loud audio cue as it does, and will also open for any objects thrown towards it. This door on Fracture however will also open for entities on both sides of the door.
===Ziplines===
Fracture features two parallel one-way ziplines that bisect the map. These ziplines do not act like ziplines found on other maps due to them crossing over an out-of-bounds region, and so they have special rules to their interactions:
*Upon attaching, the player will automatically move across the zipline at full speed
*Whilst attached, players cannot:
**Change directions
**Use abilities
**Detach
**Stop (although you can still slow yourself down holding Shift)
*If the spike carrier drops the spike or gets killed whilst using the ziplines, the spike will respawn on the closer side of the zipline.

Built in the American canyons of New Mexico, the Everett-Linde Research Facility was a top-secret collaboration between the Kingdom organizations of Alpha and Omega. Their mission to construct a Large Radian Collider and other surrounding projects were ground-breaking in their scientific fields. But on the day of what would have been the collider's launch, so came its end instead; the collider destroyed by two snipers and a resulting explosion that wiped out most of the lab's staff. Now, the abandoned husk of the facility is all that remains of a lost hope to improve the state of both worlds.

==Trivia==
* The Radian Collider at the center of the map will occasionally pulse, making sound effects
* Fracture was the first map to receive dedicated per-patch updates for its lore.
*Fracture's design that also allows defenders to be able to pinch attackers has some small inspiration from the Siege of Helm's Deep, a battle from the Lord of the Rings book The Two TowersReddit Fracture AMA: Helm's Deep inspiration
