Fracture

These are the 22 callouts the game shows on Fracture's minimap, the names your team sees in the HUD. Site callouts start with the site letter, so "A Main" is the main entrance to A site.

A Dish A Door A Drop A Gate A Hall A Link A Main A Rope A Site Attacker Bridge Attacker Spawn B Arcade Bench B Canteen B Generator B Link B Main B Site B Tower B Tree B Tunnel Defender Spawn

Fracture has been changed in 8 patches, most recently in patch 12.05. Each entry links to the full notes.

1. Patch 12.05 March 17, 2026
   • Lotus and Fracture are IN the Competitive and Deathmatch queues.
2. Patch 9.06 September 24, 2024
   • Fracture enters Unrated and Swift Play queues. This is the final legacy map being added to console mode queues. Console players now have the entire catalog of current VALORANT maps.
3. Patch 7.04 August 29, 2023
   • Please note that Fracture and Pearl have been rotated out of the Competitive and Unrated map rotation.
4. Patch 6.02 February 7, 2023
   • On Fracture, fixed a bug where the “Paul Delmann” badge could be stuck on the screen after Buy Phase ends
5. Patch 5.07 October 4, 2022
   • Arcade - Opened a cubby here to make it easier for Attacking side to hold against Defender aggression from both directions.

   • B Site - "Jump" up has been changed to a ramp directly onto the site platform, which should make moving around that space more straightforward.

   • B Generator - Space here tightened slightly to make smoking this spot easier. A small corner has also been removed to simplify attempts to re-clear the site.

   • Defender Spawn - Removed a small cubby to slightly simplify those retakes.

   • A Halls - Improved movement and simplified the space in A Halls by removing a corner.

   • A Site - A minor simplification of the space as part of the overall changes to the surrounding areas.

   • A Dish - The dish is intact but removed the far path to make moving through this space more direct for both sides. We found trying to watch/control these spaces simultaneously was unnecessarily difficult for all. The team hopes the changes here and on A Drop will encourage everyone to use this route more often.

   • A Drop - The drop down is no longer a 50/50 check when entering, which should make it a little more appealing as a way for Attackers to squeeze A site from two sides.

   • A Rope - This path has been a little too easy for Attackers to control with a single smoke. The adjustments should give Defenders more options for both the initial hold and retaking A. Watch your step.
6. Patch 3.09 November 2, 2021
   • The B Arcade attacker barrier is shifted back towards Attacker Side Bridge, to allow defenders to more easily contest the area

   • Defender barrier at A Rope moved up to the top of ropes to make it easier for Sentinels to prepare.

   • A Hall orb shifted into more neutral space, making it less favorable for attackers

   • New piece of cover in Attacker spawn added to break the long sightline from Hall entrance to B Main, which should relieve some pressure from attackers when defenders fast flank
7. Patch 3.06 September 21, 2021
   • Tunnel to Generator/Canteen areas can no longer be bullet penned (a.k.a. wallbang)

   • One crate on B site is no longer pennable

   • This should create a safer planting option for attackers, while retaining a riskier, but more powerful option.
8. Patch 3.05 September 8, 2021
   • NEW MAP: Fracture is live!
     • See below for more info on the Fracture map rotation.
