Does Viper's ult last forever?

Published in Valorant Ability Duration 1 min read

Viper's ultimate ability, Viper's Pit, does not last forever indefinitely on its own; its duration is conditional.

Understanding Viper's Pit Duration

When Viper casts her ultimate, she creates a large chemical cloud, known as Viper's Pit. This expansive cloud originates and spreads from her position, ultimately centering at the activation indicator's location.

Key Condition for Indefinite Duration

The persistence of Viper's Pit is entirely dependent on Viper herself.

  • Indefinite Persistence: Once fully formed, the Viper's Pit cloud will remain indefinitely.
  • Crucial Requirement: This indefinite duration is only maintained as long as Viper herself remains inside the chemical cloud.
  • Dissipation: If Viper exits her ultimate's area of effect, the cloud will begin to dissipate and eventually disappear, meaning it doesn't last truly "forever" without her continued presence.

Therefore, while Viper's Pit can persist for a very long time, its existence is directly tied to Viper's continued presence within its boundaries, making its "forever" nature conditional rather than absolute.
