News

Episode 2 Act 2 is over, and now it’s time for Act 3 where we’ve got some new additions to VALORANT. Some competitive updates, as well as a new map named Breeze. Here’s everything you need to know about VALORANT Patch 2.08.

VALORANT Patch 2.08 – New map Breeze

As stated in the VALORANT roadmap, a new map will release with every 3 Acts (6 months). Breeze will be the game’s 6th map, and oh boy will it be exciting to see in pro play. The map is set on a remote island, it is lit, bright, playful and filled with exciting colours. It features very open and wide areas which will be prone to long range duels.

As is usually done, because Breeze is a new map for the major part of the community, it will be disabled from competitive play. This is done to allow players to get comfortable with the map before they take it to a higher level. If you would like to watch an in-depth guide and overview of Breeze, check out the video below:

Coach Slots

Another important feature that Riot have added to VALORANT is the option for coach slots during custom games. Previously, coaches had to spectate the player’s perspectives through a stream on discord or twitch, but now, they are getting a dedicated spot on the server.

The coach slots allow the coach to solely spectate the team he chose in the custom game lobby. Coaches have prohibitions from using map pings, team chat or in-game voice chat, but they can use all chat as well as party chat. An added bonus is the ability to pause a custom match (if the players already have that function).

HRTF Update

A few weeks back we released a news piece regarding HRTF (Head-related transfer function). This time round Riot Games have updated it so that weapon drop sounds are also affected by it. A minor change but certainly a necessary one.
