| “ | Take in the sights of historic ruins or seaside caves on this tropical paradise. But bring some cover. You'll need them for the wide open spaces and long range engagements. Watch your flanks and this will be a Breeze.
— Official description
|
Breeze is the sixth map to be released in VALORANT.
Unique Features[]
Breeze's features are present on the A side of the map, mostly to do with A Hall. There are ropes to get players into A Hall. On the defending side players can use the rope at the back of A Site to get onto Bridge and into Hall, and on the attacking side players can use the rope in A Lobby to get into Hall.
A Site has an impenetrable, indestructible mechanical door leading into A Hall that can be opened and closed using switches on either side. The door is closed at the start of each round.
Towards the Attacker side of Hall is an one-way chute (also known as a 'vent') that can be used to go to Mid. Players and other objects can travel through the chute, which contains an automatic horizontal door. This door cannot be opened from underneath at the chute's exit in Mid, preventing certain agents from using mobility abilities to travel up the chute from Mid into A Hall, as well as preventing other objects from being thrown up the chute. A loud audio cue will be heard whenever the door opens to let something travel down the chute.

Lore[]
Within the area of the Atlantic Ocean known as the Bermuda Triangle lies a mysterious island. With a radianite mine constructed beneath, a cargo ship beached and in pieces on its shores, and a teleporter operating with unintended functionality, there's much to uncover at this tropical paradise that's of strategic importance to both its homeworld and invaders from Omega.

Trivia[]
- Unlike most other maps, Breeze's coordinates were not initially included in the loading screen until November 2021.
- Previously assigned coordinates before this update were based off of a player card called 25° N, 71° W.
- Outside of the playable map overlooking A Site is the front half of a container ship that contains a Kingdom Corporation work area. This area contains various Kingdom-branded crates, computers, servers, and a triangular teleporter
- On release, the teleporter was abandoned and inactive. It has since received four updates, likely going through the events that led to KAY/O arriving on present-day Alpha Earth from his alternate timeline:
- 2.09: The sign below the teleporter on the wall of A Site activated, stating "Sequence Initiated"
- Another 2.09 update happened two weeks later. The teleporter activated and the sign updated to state "Target Locked"
- 2.11: The sign updated to state "Arrival Imminent", the teleporter's portal resembled a more operational state like those seen on Bind (instead of the portal being bright blue from the previous update), and a knife had been sent through, embedding itself in a radianite crate.
- 3.0: The sign updated to state "Portal Breach", with an image of KAY/O. The knife was removed from the Radianite crate.
- The fact that there was an operational teleporter may have unintentionally been revealed in the Breeze map trailer, in which it was shown to be active unlike how it appeared on the live map at the time
- This trailer also shows that at some point, the pyramids on A site could also be activated
- On release, the teleporter was abandoned and inactive. It has since received four updates, likely going through the events that led to KAY/O arriving on present-day Alpha Earth from his alternate timeline:
- Another landmark in the background is "Wolf's Mansion", a property owned by someone named Thurston Wolf.
- Wolf is an important figure for Breeze and why both the VALORANT Protocol and the VALORANT Legion are interested in the island.[1]
