Valorant fans can download a big new update on PC. According to the patch notes, the new update makes a variety of changes to how the game loads accessories such as gun buddies and weapon skins. Valorant developer Riot Games believes this will reduce load times, which is a most welcome side effect. Riot Games also makes a change to Sage, adding additional voice interactions with other characters.
The majority of the update focuses on competitive tweaks and changes, primarily to reduce competitive rank boosting.
Riot explains more: “In an effort to protect against this abuse, we have introduced restrictions where Ascendant players and higher can only invite players with Platinum rank and higher to their competitive party.
“We will continue to actively monitor botting abuse and ban any accounts suspicious of this behaviour.”
Finally, Riot makes back end updates for Combat Reports, not to mention a series of bug fixes.
