VALORANT Patch Notes 12.06

What’s in this update

Well, hello there!

Welcome to Patch 12.06. I’m Kenny and I’ll be your guide through what is sure to be a preeeeetty spicy 🌶️ patch. So let’s jump right into it.

TL;DR:

• VALORANT will no longer be a first-person shooter as we have switched to third-person POV.
• To better support this playstyle, we have added the ability to go into a prone stance and filled most of our maps with tall grass and shrubs.
• New Weapon: Introducing the Hackerator, a powerful new sniper rifle that will automatically cause enemies who are hit with a headshot to disconnect from the game.
• Lol, diffed
• New Agent: Welcome, Brainrot, our newest Initiator. Brainrot uses his abilities through voice commands in team chat. The more vocal you are, the more likely you are to apply stacks of Cringe.
• New Debuff: Cringe. After being affected by more than three stacks of Cringe, enemies die instantly. But be careful, if you miss more than three of his abilities, YOU die instantly of self-inflicted Cringe.
• Tejo Rework: With the recently discovered Tejo exploit, we decided to take another look at his kit. Ultimately, we loved the skill expression that comes with an endless barrage of artillery. So we’ve given him unlimited charges of Guided Salvo and removed the max cast distance. Have fun!

Ok, so obviously those changes aren’t real. HAPPY EARLY APRIL FOOLS! For the real changes, read below!

• Updated End-of Game screens
• Waylay’s Saturate changed from INSTANT to EQUIP
