Valorant 6.02 Patch Notes

GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS UPDATES

When a player fires a shot, it takes time for the input to reach the server. To prevent you from needing to lead your shots, VALORANT implements server rewinding. When the server determines the outcome of a shot, it rewinds character positions around the bullet to match their locations at the time when the shot was initially fired. Finding the right limit for a max rewind amount is important for reducing cases of anyone feeling like they need to lead shots, or that they can still be shot after safely repositioning themselves.

When we launched the game, the max rewind value was set to 200 ms based on what we deemed as acceptable networking conditions (factoring in some amount of additional input/processing latency) to play VALORANT. Based on player data since launch, we’ve determined that this value is too high for the networking conditions experienced by most of you. —Kevin Lee, Software Engineer

  • Adjusted max server rewind limit down to 140 ms from 200 ms.

    •  If you only play in games where everyone’s ping is low, you shouldn’t even notice this change. In other cases, the impact from this change will be subtle, and most of you won’t notice the difference. That being said, we expect to see the following changes in gameplay patterns:

      • Playing against players with high ping should feel less like you’re getting shot after moving behind cover by a bullet fired earlier
      • Players playing with high ping may start to experience hit registration inaccuracy

  • These behaviors already exist in VALORANT, but we are shifting the needle for what we consider “high ping” to be less generous. We hope that this change reduces the frustration players feel when playing against high ping players and continues to minimize the impact of networking conditions on gameplay.
  • If you want to dive deeper into hit registration in VALORANT, check out our previous piece from 2020.
  • For some more about one of the reasons that motivated this update, read our first Gameplay Consistency Update, and then our most recent update from last year.

WEAPON UPDATES

STINGER

We feel that the Stinger is overperforming at medium to long range engagements at its price point. Force buying Heavy Armor and Stingers on both round 2 and 3 was too effective and lacked the appropriate nuance and economic tradeoffs. We hope that players can occasionally still access this strategy granted they have the credits to do so.

  • Cost increased 950 >>> 1100
  • Damage fall-off changed:

    • Previously:

      • 27 damage per bullet (0 - 20m)
      • 25 damage per bullet (20m+)
    • Now:

      • 27 damage per bullet (0 - 15m)
      • 23 damage per bullet (15m+)

SOCIAL UPDATES

  • Voice Evaluation Beta (North America/English-only)

    • Last year we began a background launch of the Riot Voice Evaluation (RVE) in North America. RVE will now move into a limited beta phase that will enhance our behavioral reports data collection capabilities and improve the impact of our comms related behavioral interventions.

BUGS

  • Potentially fixed bug with KAY/O’s Zero/point (E) not showing the correct enemies that it has suppressed (please let us know if you see further issues here)

The near-future first-person tactical hero shooter Valorant is team-based.    Players take on the role of one of a variety of Agents, which are based on people from various nations and cultures.  Players are assigned to either the attacking or defending team, with five players on each squad, in the primary game mode. Each of the special skills that agents possess requires charges, and each agent also has a special ultimate power that demands charging through kills, deaths, orbs, or missions. Each player begins a game with a "classic" handgun and one or more charges for their "signature abilities." Using the in-game economy, players can purchase additional weapons and ability charges. Money is awarded based on the results of previous rounds, any killings the player is accountable for, and other factors. and any goals that were achieved. The game contains a variety of weaponry, including basic weapons like submachine guns, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles as well as secondary weapons like sidearms. The player must control the automatic and semi-automatic weapons' individual shooting patterns in order to fire them accurately. There are currently 20 agents available.
