How Escalation Mode Works In Valorant

Valorant Escalation Mode is a five on five game mode where players compete to level up through getting kills. There are 12 total levels and the team that completes the 12 levels or is the highest level when the timer expires after 10 minutes wins the game. With each level that you pass, you will be granted different abilities and guns.

However, when playing at the squad level things will be different from individual player levels. Each player will have his or her weapon level that they will have to succeed in completing. After killing one player with your current weapon will you be able to achieve the next weapon level.
