In the sixth update since the introduction of Episode 7 Act 2, Valorant’s 7.06 patch update has just been released! Though smaller in magnitude, it packs quite a punch. From backend game enhancements to ensuring a seamless competitive experience, Riot Games has made several intriguing adjustments. Below is a comprehensive look into the fresh updates.
General Enhancements
- Valorant is now focusing on streamlining your gaming experience. Mid-patch, you can expect faster loading times. Credit goes to revamped methods of loading in-game accessories like gun buddies and weapon skins.
Agent-Specific Changes – Sage
Sage is now more vocal! New voice lines have been added to her character, paving the way for enriched interactions with a broader array of Agents on the team.
Competitive Changes
- Valorant is taking a stern stance on competitive rank boosting i.e, a malpractice involving both bots and real players. To counteract this, Ascendant players and those ranking higher can now only pull in players who are at least Platinum rank to their competitive party.
- Vigilance against bot abuse remains high on Riot’s agenda. They have issued a clear warning: accounts found indulging in suspicious activities will face bans.
Gameplay System Updates
- A noteworthy backend update has been rolled out to rectify Combat Reports that previously failed to display all important details. Players are encouraged to flag any anomalies, particularly those occurring post-death or before the commencement of a round.
Bug Rectifications
- Riot Games has tackled a rarely-seen bug where players could unintentionally become visible in areas they shouldn’t be, post weapon purchase.
- Observers using the minimal HUD will no longer face the issue of the Spike plant and defuse UI bar going missing.
- The start of rounds on Sunset will now be smoother, with the vision cones’ flickering issue resolved.
All in all, Valorant’s 7.06 update seeks to enhance both player experience and gameplay integrity. This promises a more optimized and immersive gaming session for its dedicated fanbase.
