VALORANT: Riot Games’ competitive 5v5 character-based tactical shooter

Authored by beta.playvalorant.com and submitted by thessew

Hey, look at us. Patch notes in a closed beta. Who would have thought? This short and sweet patch addresses the giant Raze in the room, cameras that somehow learned how to shoot, and some map updates.

Raze is lethal, no doubt, and we predict savvy players will perform better against her over time. Still, we made some light changes that should bring Raze’s offensive pressure closer to the other agents. We’re also buffing melee to give players in the early rounds a better way to deal with Sage’s Barrier Orb—while still making it a calculated risk. Don’t worry Sage mains, your Slow Orb now slows those bunny hoppers, too.

And we’re booting the phrase “camera-gun” back to English spy films where it belongs.

Here’s what the VALORANT devs have for you in patch notes 0.47+ (the number carries over from our alpha).

Hmm, none of this fixes my terrible aim.

"Cypher’s Spycam can no longer use weapons"

Years from now, this will be one we look back at and say WTF about.
