Yes, we are being a bit silly with that headline. The latest Valorant patch notes are in, for version 10.02, and there is no headline feature. That’s a stark change from the last major patch, which introduced rank shields to the mix.

Still, there are a ton of bug fixes this time around that may well have fixed an issue you were experiencing. So, maybe the headline isn’t looking that bad after all.

We’ve got fixes for Agents Vyse, Tejo, and Killjoy, alongside an issue with Regen Shields that, effectively, made you invincible. Elsewhere, there are fixes on PC only that make text a lot more legible.

Valorant Patch Notes Version 10.02

We’ve included the patch notes directly from Riot Games below so you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.

ALL PLATFORMS

BUG FIXES

  • General
    • Fixed an issue where certain types of damage could leave players with Regen Shields at 1 HP when the damage should have been lethal.
      • This also fixed issues where Clove could tank lethal damage specifically when Regen Shield and Pick Me Up were active at the same time.
  • Agents
    • Vyse
      • Fixed an issue where Arc Rose and Razorvine were visible when placed on specific water surfaces.
    • Tejo
      • Fixed an issue where players could rarely survive running straight through the full duration of Armageddon.
    • Killjoy
      • Fixed an issue where Killjoy’s recall minimap indicator could get stuck in a state where it was invisible.
      • Alarmbot logic has been updated to be more intelligent.
        • In niche circumstances, the Alarmbot will now path towards players if they are on ledges and explode on them if they would be hit by the size of the explosion rather than trying to run extremely long paths around the map.
  • Gameplay Systems
    • Fixed a bug where Observers were seeing inconsistent player team outline colors.

PC ONLY

BUG FIXES

  • Premier
    • Fixed an issue where long team names could overlap each other on the playoff bracket screen.
    • Fixed an issue where dropdowns on the standings sometimes cut off text.
    • Fixed an issue where the division name text was not always correctly aligned on the match history screen.
