Icebox

"There are more answers here. I just have to find them"

- Yoru (Match Start on Icebox)

 (codenamed Port) is the fifth map to be released in VALORANT.

Setting
Your next battleground is a secret Kingdom excavation site overtaken by the arctic. The two plant sites protected by snow and metal require some horizontal finesse. Take advantage of the ziplines and they’ll never see you coming.

Map Features
Icebox  is the first map to introduce horizontal ziplines, seen at the A Site. Each Icebox site is a complex combat space that features plenty of cover and verticality. This map emphasizes skirmishes, sharp aim, and adaptive play.

It is also the first map where the plant site has different levels of elevation. Both sites contain nests that players can get into using ropes and then plant the spike on the nest floor.

Trivia
Lore
 * Map coordinates at 76°44'A" N 149°30'Z" E, off the coast of Bennett Island, Sakha, Russia.
 * Outside of the playable map area overlooking A Site is a room containing a closed pod that has a suit of Japanese Samurai armor inside
 * On initial release, the room was abandoned like the rest of the map, and the pod's armor also contained a mask
 * After Yoru's release, this area of the map was updated to show that it had been broken into. The glass separating the room from A Site was shattered, as had the top half of the pod. The armor's mask had been removed, and what appears to be a radianite trail leads from where the mask was out of the room and out through a hole blasted through the roof of A Site
 * It is thought that the mask taken from this armor is the one Yoru uses during his ultimate and that therefore it was Yoru himself who carried out this break in. This is further evidenced by Yoru confirming to Phoenix that he knew his way around the place when the two went there to respond to a spike attack.
