A short loop

The short loop hits lineups and one backup. If that backup is empty, leave.

Do not add a third stop because the bag is half full. Valorant third stops are where third parties live.

A long loop

The long loop is for nights when default executes is quiet. It still needs a named exit.

Travel light until the last stop. attack and defense rounds on tight, ability-heavy maps makes heavy bags slow on the only road out.

Timing windows

Retakes has a clock. Arrive early or skip it. Mid-timer arrivals donate kits.

Write the time you left spawn. Valorant players who ignore the clock repeat the same late extract.
