![]() VALORANT sources confirm that the refinery is only the beginning of Kingdom Corp’s plans for the Bind area. Agents Cypher and Viper have spoken often of the lies told by Kingdom to achieve their desired ends here – a large radianite refining factory used to power the K-CORP energy empire. Kingdom’s take-over of the Bind city district was swift, deceptive, and without the consent of the local citizens. Reports that Rabat’s wealth of radianite comes from a meteor impact crater are considered speculative at this time, though another impact site in Lake Bosomtwe, Ghana, might be the only other source of radianite as significant as Rabat’s known to our databases. Though the origin of radianite remains a mystery, Rabat and the area identified as Bind is likely one of K-CORP’s primary sources of the resource. Once a thriving economic hub built on a rich cultural history, coastal Rabat has been entirely usurped by Kingdom Corporation in its restless pursuit of radianite. You’ll find most of the surviving Rabat culture of Bind on the southern side of the map (Attacker’s Side Spawn), where rolling sand dunes in the distance feel like a symbolic representation of Rabat’s resistance. A small stream of water, likely from the Bou Regreg River, reaching from Bind’s southern border (Attacker’s Spawn) to a nearby fountain (B Lobby).A lamp shop filled with lanterns and a carpet workshop near the teleporter leading to B Site.A public bath near A Site, complete with intricate tiling and traditional Moroccan skylights, joined by a nearby grocery store and bike shop.An exotic hookah lounge overlooking B Site (B Window), housing silks, ornaments, lavish cushions, traditional Moorish wood-carved ceiling panels, and carpet-covered floors.A marketplace (A and B Link), with workshops for thread dyeing, and stores that sell the likes of textiles, pottery, spices, and animals.Their growing resentment is clear, and shared by many of the VALORANT Protocol, including agents Cypher, Yoru, and Raze. This area was the primary target of Omega Phoenix’s tactical strike (during DUALITY).Īnti-Kingdom posters dotted throughout Bind show proof that the locals have begun to re-discover their courage and challenge Kingdom Corp’s view that all things are expendable. ![]() ![]() An undisguised elevator near the center of B Site leads to underground storage for those crates. K-CORP has built a laboratory adjacent to the refining facility in B Site, where a small room shows the refining process they use to convert raw radianite into the storage boxes seen throughout other maps. Reports of small reality tears fluctuating around the crystal are troubling, to say the least. Kingdom’s A Site reactor contains a sealed test chamber housing an unsettlingly large chunk of crystalized radianite. The reactor tower that defines A Site is one of six visible around Bind, advertising the enormous scale of Kingdom’s refining project here. At both bombsites, radianite extractors, generators, and storage facilities mar the land like unapologetic wounds. If the terrain isn’t coated in dust (as seen towards B Site), then it’s caked in cement (per A Site recon). Rubbing salt in the cultural wound, Kingdom’s bleak refining towers loom over the landscape, gushing out streams of black smoke, clashing with what remains of the regional architecture and spoiling the distant view of the Atlas Mountains. A number of vents in this area also suggest Kingdom’s facility here extends deep underground. The brunt of Kingdom’s presence in Bind is focused on the northern edge of the perimeter.īetween the reactor and laboratory, gloomy industrial panels cordon off the remains of elaborate Moorish archways – a once elegant building, now in mid-demolition, vultured to the bones by cranes in a mournful act of corporate ignorance. Despite Kingdom Corporation’s wanton corporate corruption of the area, however, fragments of local culture survive to catch the eye across the Bind map perimeter. Much of the cultural and historic values of this area have been coarsely swept aside to pave way for K-CORP’s relentless pursuit of progress and profits. Like Split, Bind is a prime example of Kingdom Corp’s invasive “regardless of the costs” attitude.
