Haven (codename Triad) is a launch map in VALORANT.
Summary
"Beneath a forgotten monastery, a clamour emerges from rival Agents clashing to control three sites. There’s more territory to control, but defenders can use the extra real estate for aggressive pushes."
Map Features
Haven's unique features include an additional third spike site. This does not affect the number of ultimate orbs on the map; Haven's two ultimate orbs are present in A Long and C Long (Dragon).
The doors at Mid also have destructible panels covering them. Whilst intact, they absorb damage and cannot be penetrated by gunfire. The panels however have 400 HP each and can be damaged, with colored indicators on them implying how much health they have left (starts blue, then turns yellow and then red as they take more damage). They can eventually be destroyed to allow players to wallbang through these doors for the rest of the round.

Trivia
- Map coordinates at 27°28'A" N 89°38'WZ" E, in Thimphu, Bhutan.
- In A site tower, there is an empty sniper rifle case along with ammo and a jar of what is assumed to be urine, this might be a reference to Sniper from Team Fortress 2, who is well known for jars of urine, even being a secondary weapon option for him (in-game name: Jarate)
- Also in A site tower, there is a card/poster for a tropical place on the floor which shows Breeze
