Icebox Map Overview
Icebox is a frozen excavation site on Bennett Island in the Russian Arctic, where verticality defines every engagement. A site features a multi-tiered structure with rafters, nests, and pipes that demand clearing from multiple elevations before any plant is safe. Ziplines provide fast but exposed rotations, and agents with vertical mobility hold a massive advantage across the map.

Icebox Strategies
Attack side
- 1
Icebox is vertical. Use agents with vertical mobility for unexpected plays.
- 2
A site requires clearing Rafters and Nest before planting. Methodically clear each angle.
- 3
B site rushes through Yellow can overwhelm defenders. Use smokes on Orange.
- 4
Mid tube control leads to both sites. Fight for it early in the round.
- 5
On A site, plant on the elevated platform using a Sage wall boost. This forces defenders to climb or expose themselves vertically to defuse, and your team can hold post-plant from Belt, Pipes, and Rafters with overlapping sightlines on the elevated bomb.
Defense side
- 1
A site Nest is the strongest position. Hold it with an Operator for easy picks.
- 2
B site can be held from Orange or Green. Use utility to slow Yellow pushes.
- 3
Play Kitchen to rotate quickly between sites. It connects to both.
- 4
Use Sage wall to boost to unexpected vertical positions on both sites.
- 5
When retaking B site, always clear Kitchen and Tube first before pushing onto site. Attackers frequently leave a lurker in Kitchen or mid. Send initiator utility through Kitchen while the rest hold B Orange, and only commit once mid is confirmed clear.

Icebox FAQ
Icebox is moderately defender sided. The map's extreme verticality gives defenders multiple elevation advantages, particularly on A site where Nest and Rafters create overlapping sightlines that are difficult to clear. Attackers need methodical utility usage and vertical-capable agents to contest these positions effectively.
Viper, Sage, and Sova are the core trio on Icebox. Viper's Toxic Screen on B site is a meta-defining setup that cuts off key sightlines. Sage's Barrier Orb creates boosts and blocks that exploit the map's verticality, and Sova's Recon Bolt lineups clear the complex multi-level angles.
Icebox has more elevation changes than any other Valorant map. A site features a multi-tiered structure with Rafters, Nest, and Pipes that all overlook the plant zone from different heights. Ziplines connect key areas but leave players exposed during transit. Checking above and below is just as important as checking corners on this map.
