Valorant's Snowball Fight is an exhilarating limited-time game mode that spices up the tactical shooter with a festive twist.

Players engage in a fast-paced competition, aiming to be the first team to reach 50 kills.

Completing a Snowball Fight match rewards players with XP, and winners usually received a bonus of 150 XP. It's a fun way to earn rewards while enjoying the festive spirit of the game.
