Attackers POV

Defenders POV

During post-plant situations, i.e. after the spike has been planted, many players get confused and either forget to defend the spike or forget to defuse it. It does not happen every game but it happens pretty often.
If the developers add something similar to this feature, I think it would help new players a lot.

In Valorant, like many other games, Red is associated with Enemy and Blue is associated with Ally. The spike helps the attackers win the round, hence it is shown as blue. While for defenders, the spike is a threat so it is red.
