Map Features[edit]

Lotus contains multiple features spread out across the map. It's VALORANT's second three-site map but unlike the game's first three-site map of Haven, Lotus has a third ultimate orb available to be claimed at mid.

Two of the map's features are present at the back of A Site. A rope ascender is available to take players from A Site to A Top. When players go down from A Top to A Drop, their fall is silenced.

A unique feature to Lotus is its rotating doorways. It has one on A Side standing between A Main and A Tree, and another on C Side standing between C Mound and B Main. The doors can be activated from either side using a toggle button, at which point the door will rotate 180° over a short duration, giving players a small window where they can pass through to the other side.

A destructible wall also stands between A Main and A Link. Whilst intact, it absorbs damage and cannot be penetrated by gunfire. The wall however can be damaged, with colored indicators on it implying how much health it has left (starts blue, then turns yellow and then red as it takes more damage). It can eventually be destroyed to allow players to pass through a passageway between A Main and A Link for the rest of the round.
