Common RTT Jitter Spikes

I know someone having an issue with RTT Jitter spikes happening commonly in their VALORANT games where it (usually) spikes when entering a gun fight with an opponent or when someone peaks from a corner. Generally, their ping averages around 10-20ms, but will have a random and reoccurring spike up to 200 or greater, which freezes their screen for a split second and causes their shots to not register. We've both scoured the internet for answers, but we can't find any. I figured I'd ask here for advice in case anyone else is experiencing this issue or has found a fix to this.

For context, so far we've tried:
  • Internet optimizing software
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Adjusting internet settings
  • Checked for hardware updates
  • etc. but I can't think of what else we've tried at the moment (it's been an issue for a few months now)
Here is an example (watch the KJ teleport back for a split second)
