VALORANT map callouts
Sunset has two bombsites: a small A Site reached through A Elbow and A Link, and a larger B Site reached through B Boba and B Market. Mid Courtyard is the hub that connects both sides, with Mid Top, Mid Tiles and Mid Bottom branching off it, and the defender spawn area feeds into the upper routes at Mid Top, A Link, A Alley and B Boba.

Full list
Every spot on Sunset with the name to call it, what else players call it and what it's for. 17 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 Alley | Also called Alley | A back passage on the A side full of deep corners and tight 90-degree turns, so defenders can hold A from here and attackers need utility to clear it. It connects toward the upper defender spawn area. |
| A Elbow | A bend on the approach to A Site, reached from Mid along a connector route; attackers usually take it early because it makes holding the spike easier. | |
| A Link | The connector between Mid (through Mid Top) and the upper defender spawn area on the A side; smokes placed here can block sightlines along the route. | |
| A Lobby | The exit from the attacker spawn that leads into A Main; it works as a choke point close to Mid Tiles and A Elbow. | |
| A Main | The open fighting ground that sits just past A Lobby, where most of the A-side action takes place. | |
| A Site | The smaller of the two bombsites, which the A Elbow, A Link and A Alley routes all feed into. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| B Boba | Also called Boba | The route linking B Site to Mid and A; attackers push B through it, and defenders can hold the site from it. |
| B DoorCommunity | Also called Mid Door | The mechanical door between Mid Courtyard and B Market; closing it cuts the mid route into B. |
| B Lobby | The exit from the attacker spawn that leads into B Main. | |
| B Main | The key area on the B side that attackers must take to protect the spike; late flanks through here are usually covered with utility. | |
| B Market | Also called Market | The connector between B Site and Mid Courtyard, with a mechanical door between it and the courtyard. |
| B PillarCommunity | Also called Pillar | The block in the middle of B Site that the site wraps around; it splits the site and blocks the view from B Main. |
| B Site | The larger bombsite, where the spike can only be planted in one specific area. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Mid Bottom | The lower part of the mid area, reached through Mid Courtyard. | |
| Mid BoxCommunity | The box in the middle of Mid Courtyard, the only cover for players crossing mid. | |
| Mid Courtyard | Also called Courtyard | The central hub that connects both bombsites, Mid Tiles, B Market and the upper and lower parts of mid; teams often clash here early in the round. |
| Mid Tiles | Also called Mid-Tiles | A section of mid that connects to Mid Courtyard and works as a choke point for holding mid. |
| Mid Top | Also called Mid-Top | The upper mid route that connects to the defender spawn area; defenders use it to stop attackers from taking Mid Courtyard. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Attacker Side Spawn | The attackers' starting area; the lobbies leading into A and B both begin here. |
| Callout | Also called | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Defender Side Spawn | The defenders' starting area, which links into the upper routes including Mid Top, A Link, A Alley and B Boba. |
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 Mid Door
The mechanical door between Mid Courtyard and B Market; closing it cuts the mid route into B.
Also called Pillar
The block in the middle of B Site that the site wraps around; it splits the site and blocks the view from B Main.
The box in the middle of Mid Courtyard, the only cover for players crossing mid.

Sunset has 20 common callouts. A Site: A Alley, A Elbow, A Link, A Lobby, A Main and A Site. B Site: B Boba, B Door, B Lobby, B Main, B Market, B Pillar and B Site. Mid: Mid Bottom, Mid Box, Mid Courtyard, Mid Tiles and Mid Top.
Sunset has 2 bomb sites (A Site and B Site). Sunset has two bombsites: a small A Site reached through A Elbow and A Link, and a larger B Site reached through B Boba and B Market. Mid Courtyard is the hub that connects both sides, with Mid Top, Mid Tiles and Mid Bottom branching off it, and the defender spawn area feeds into the upper routes at Mid Top, A Link, A Alley and B Boba.
B Door, B Pillar and Mid Box are community names. The game's own callout text doesn't use them, but players and pros say them all the time.
A back passage on the A side full of deep corners and tight 90-degree turns, so defenders can hold A from here and attackers need utility to clear it. It connects toward the upper defender spawn area.
A bend on the approach to A Site, reached from Mid along a connector route; attackers usually take it early because it makes holding the spike easier.
The connector between Mid (through Mid Top) and the upper defender spawn area on the A side; smokes placed here can block sightlines along the route.
The exit from the attacker spawn that leads into A Main; it works as a choke point close to Mid Tiles and A Elbow.
17 of them are: they're the names VALORANT itself prints on the Sunset minimap. The other 3 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.
