VALORANT map callouts
Split is a two-site map with the A and B bombsites at opposite ends and a narrow central Mid linking them through vents, sewer and rope passages. Mid is the hub that nearly every round is fought over, and the Heaven spots above each site overlook the approaches. Expect the A side to play through Main, Ramps and Screens, and the B side to funnel through a narrow Hallway into a pillar-heavy site.

Full list
Every spot on Split with the name to call it, what else players call it and what it's for. 24 of them are the names VALORANT shows on the minimap; the rest are community callouts you'll hear in ranked and pro comms.
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| A Back | The far corner of A Site, behind the plant spots and away from the Ramps approach, from which a player can hit a plant from the rear. | |
| A CafeCommunity | Also called Cafe | The room at the attacker end of A Main beside A Lobby, where A pushes gather before going up Main. |
| A ElbowCommunity | Also called Elbow | The bend between A Screens and A Back on the defender side of A, a close angle onto anyone walking up to the site. |
| A Lobby | Sits above the A Sewer and is reached from there by an ascender, so the call means someone is coming up out of the sewer toward the A side. | |
| A Main | The main lane leading from the A side toward A Site, where early contact usually happens. A player on Screens can watch the A Main crossing from behind the site. | |
| A Rafters | A fallback spot beside A Tower, used by a defender who has been pushed off Ramps. | |
| A Ramps | Also called A Ramp | The ramp that climbs from A Main onto A Site and is the main entry point. Calling it tells the team who is holding the top of the ramp and who is pushing up it. |
| A Screens | Also called Screens | A spot behind A Site with a view of the A Main crossing. |
| A Sewer | Also called Sewer, Sewers | A passage on the A side that links toward Mid and, through an ascender, up to A Lobby. Calling it warns that enemies may come through the sewer into Mid or onto the A side. |
| A Site | The A bombsite, at the opposite end of the map from B Site and reached through A Main and the A Ramps. Teams use it to report plants and enemies on the site. | |
| A Tower | Also called A Heaven, Heaven | The high ground above A Site that overlooks Ramps. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| B Alley | The corridor on the defender side above B Site, joining B Back to the rotation route toward defender spawn. | |
| B Back | Also called Backsite, B Backsite, Back Site, Back B | The rear of B Site, behind the pillar and close to Default, where an attacker can plant or clear from the back. |
| B Garage | Also called Garage, B Main | A front-view position on B Site and a route that attackers use to push toward the site and into Mid. Calling Garage tells the team that the B push is coming through it. |
| B HellCommunity | Also called Hell | The low corner on B Site under B Tower (Heaven), a hidden spot to hold the site from below. |
| B Link | Also called Link, Market | A passage that runs from Mid toward the B side, one of the central passages alongside Ropes, Mail and Sewer. Calls mention it to report enemies sneaking from Mid into the B side. |
| B Lobby | The staging area that feeds into B Main, close to a set of boxes that players often lose to corner peeks. Calling it signals enemies gathering before they move down B Main. | |
| B New BoxCommunity | Also called New Box | The box on the front edge of B Site, cover for a planter and a close angle on B Main. |
| B Rafters | A high position that defenders push onto from B Main to support a teammate fighting in that lane. | |
| B Site | The B bombsite, reached through B Main and the B Hallway, with the pillar in the middle and Backsite behind it. Teams use it to report plants and enemy positions on the site. | |
| B Stairs | Also called Stairs | A stairway that links the B high ground (Heaven) down toward Mid. Calling it warns of enemies moving up or down between the B high ground and Mid. |
| B Tower | Also called B Heaven | The elevated spot on the B side above B Site. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Mid Bottom | Also called Bottom Mid | The attacker end of mid, where attackers come in before splitting toward B Link or the A Sewer. |
| Mid Mail | Also called Mail | Mid Mail is the Mid passage on the route toward Ropes; it is not a B Site callout. |
| Mid Top | Also called Top Mid | The defender end of mid by Mail and Vent; holding it controls both mid routes. |
| Mid Vent | Also called Vent, Vents, Vent Room | The vent that drops from the A heaven spot into Mid, so enemies can come down from above. Players often lurk near Mail and Ropes and call this vent when something drops in. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Attacker Side Spawn | The area where the attacking team begins each round. Both the A and B routes and Mid can be reached from it, so the call tells the team where enemies are coming back from. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Defender Side Spawn | Also called CT | The defending team's starting area on the B side, where each defender begins the round. |
Site by site
Not on the minimap
Names you'll hear in ranked and pro comms that the game itself doesn't print. They're usually props or corners inside a bigger area, so they let a call be more exact than the minimap allows.
Also called Cafe
The room at the attacker end of A Main beside A Lobby, where A pushes gather before going up Main.
Also called Elbow
The bend between A Screens and A Back on the defender side of A, a close angle onto anyone walking up to the site.
Also called Hell
The low corner on B Site under B Tower (Heaven), a hidden spot to hold the site from below.
Also called New Box
The box on the front edge of B Site, cover for a planter and a close angle on B Main.

+ Add a calloutFAQ
Split has 28 common callouts. A Site: A Back, A Cafe, A Elbow, A Lobby, A Main, A Rafters, A Ramps, A Screens, A Sewer, A Site and A Tower. B Site: B Alley, B Back, B Garage, B Hell, B Link, B Lobby, B New Box, B Rafters, B Site, B Stairs and B Tower. Mid: Mid Bottom, Mid Mail, Mid Top and Mid Vent.
Split has 2 bomb sites (A Site and B Site). Split is a two-site map with the A and B bombsites at opposite ends and a narrow central Mid linking them through vents, sewer and rope passages. Mid is the hub that nearly every round is fought over, and the Heaven spots above each site overlook the approaches. Expect the A side to play through Main, Ramps and Screens, and the B side to funnel through a narrow Hallway into a pillar-heavy site.
A Cafe, A Elbow, B Hell and B New Box are community names. The game's own callout text doesn't use them, but players and pros say them all the time.
The far corner of A Site, behind the plant spots and away from the Ramps approach, from which a player can hit a plant from the rear.
The room at the attacker end of A Main beside A Lobby, where A pushes gather before going up Main.
The bend between A Screens and A Back on the defender side of A, a close angle onto anyone walking up to the site.
Sits above the A Sewer and is reached from there by an ascender, so the call means someone is coming up out of the sewer toward the A side.
24 of them are: they're the names VALORANT itself prints on the Split minimap. The other 4 are community names that players and pros use but the game doesn't show; they're marked Community.
VALORANT shows the name of the area you're in under the minimap, and a location ping shows the callout name of the spot you pinged, so your team hears and sees the same word.
Partly. In some languages the game translates a few minimap names (Spanish shows "Árbol" for Tree, for example), while names like Main and Lobby stay in English. Most teams use the English names in comms.
Open the map above, switch to the side you're playing, then hit Test yourself. The quiz lights up one spot at a time and asks for its name, so a few rounds of it is enough to know the map before you queue.
