Recently we all were glad to meet Valorant Act II and new agent Killjoy. And this time we are excited to see that bugs have been fixed as well. We share with you Valorant Patch Notes 1.06 published on Valorant official blog.
Agent Updates
The audio and visuals for blinding effects (Phoenix Curveball and Breach Flashpoint) should better indicate when to turn away, and when it’s safe to look again
All shotguns updated to be less accurate when fired while in the air
Spread penalty when in air increased .5 >>> 1.25
While shotguns are doing well in situations they are supposed to, there’s been overly frustrating moments where people are accurate with these weapons while in the air. We hope to curb some of those encounters while still making them possible if you catch an opponent at a short distance. We’ll also be investigating more potential changes to shotguns now that we’re rested.
In Collection menu screens, the “Show Owned Only” toggle now persists between screens and client restarts.
Bug Fixes
Potential fix for the bug where the player’s HUD sometimes disappears.
Fixed a bug in deathmatch match history & match details where ties between 3 or more players were not displaying as a tie, instead of showing the lowest rank as if they were not tied (so a 3-way tie for 2nd would show 4TH PLACE instead of 2ND PLACE (TIED)).
Fixed a bug that allowed progress towards competitive matchmaking for new players by forfeiting unrated games.
Forfeited games will not count towards the Competitive requirement for the team who forfeited.
Fixed a bug where ‘<Missing String Table>’ would appear in the chat log.
Fixed a bug where strange player names could appear in chat when managing party invites
Fixed a bug where some players were missing rewards after reaching the end of Agent Contracts or the Act Battle pass. Playing a game should grant the missing rewards, including missing rewards from Act 1.
As you see there are a lot of great updates have been implemented to make Valorant even better!
