A knife kill is special in any shooter. In a match full of firearms, you’re happy to have defeated an enemy with such a primitive weapon – especially since you’re often at a clear disadvantage with the short range. To compensate for this, you have to carefully sneak up on your victim so that he cannot even react to you. This Valorant Jett player pulled off one such kill, and in the most impressive way you can imagine.
Jett extends her claws and prepares to dive
Jett is arguably the most mobile agent in Valorant. The deadly assassin can leap into the air while also moving in a specific direction. This Jett’s team is in control of the Breeze map with only one enemy player left. player Dio saw it on the enemy spike and sets out to take it down.
Instead of a typical confrontation on the ground, the player chooses to use Jett’s flying skills and approach the player from the air. This makes significantly less noise and remains undetected longer than if the player were to stalk on foot. While still in the air, the Jett player realizes that his victim doesn’t seem to notice him at all and switches from his sniper weapon to the knife.

Like a bird of prey, Jett drops from the air onto the unsuspecting KAY/O and stabs him in the back with the drawn knife. The last opponent is thus dead and the spike can be easily defused. The round is won.
Death from above is not always expected. A situation like this certainly doesn’t arise every day, after all Jett had a completely clear path here and was able to approach the last agent unhindered. No other enemy lived to shoot down Jett already in the air or let his teammate know. Nevertheless, such a moment is not easily forgotten.
