Valorant: Complete Cypher Abyss guide

Valorant's Abyss map is perhaps one of the most interesting ones to play Cypher on. It has tiny gaps that force players to jump and hop around to cross. If they don't make the leap, a devastating fall will claim their lives. This Cypher Abyss guide will cruise through some setups abusing these tricks. One interesting mechanic is to put a trap wire right by these gaps to ensure that opponents fall to their deaths.

While other Sentinels such as Killjoy and Sage also remain interesting Agents on Abyss, Cypher is the one that can be enjoyed most creatively. Playing this Agent on Abyss gives you room to experiment with different setups, wall-bang Trapwire placements, and so much more.

This article will explore some effective Cypher Abyss setups. This includes entire setups for both sites and some tips and tricks.
