Indeed, Riot Games has officially revealed Valorant Patch 1.06 which will be hitting the community soon. Building off of the previous patch, it’s moreso a minor patch which looks to fix an aspect of shotguns. Read on for the full scoop.
Shotguns have their place in VALORANT – for those tight corners and corridors or aggressive play. However, being able to jump around corners and maintain accuracy a problem as addressed below:
Agent Updates
- The audio and visuals for blinding effects (both Phoenix Curveball and Breach Flashpoint) will now let players know when to look and when to not at clearer points in time.
Weapon Updates
- All shotguns are now significantly less accurate when firing mid-air.
- Accordingly, the spread penalty in air has been bumped up from 0.5 to 1.25.
- More changes to shotguns have been hinted at by Riot Games
Apart from that, small bug fixes and quality of life are present in Valorant Patch 1.06.
Phoenix and Breach unintentionally flashing their opponents is definitely a problem in competitive modes. As seen at events, teams have to be extra careful when using these abilities due to their potentially disastrous effects.
Otherwise, the fix to shotguns is certainly useful. Everything went live as of 20th August.
