Competitive mode updates
- The chance of feeling “stuck” on older accounts is reduced. If your skill improves, it should be properly reflected in your rank, regardless of the age of the account.
- Matchmaking accuracy will improve across all ranges, which should mean a smoother climb and reduced range losses and sudden gains.
- Although winning matches is still the most important factor, individual performance will also be taken into account to improve matchmaking at Immortal and higher ranks.
-
- This should result in better games at the higher ranks.
- Close matches will have less effect on rank score gain and loss.
- We’ve adjusted the range score curves, so moving up (or down) should seem less volatile.
- Rank distribution update.
- The positioning allows you to reach Diamond 1.
Performance updates
- Improved bounding plane calculations using multithreading.
- Improved multi-core thread utilization for task distribution.
- Optimization of camera calculations.
- Optimization of the ambient sound of each map.
- General optimizations of all skill animations.
Progress updates
- Happy anniversary of VALORANT! To celebrate, we’ve added a new Year One event pass. It’s similar to Battle Passes, but totally free, and has some really cool stuff – it’ll stay active during version 3.0 and only last until version 3.01 is released, so don’t forget to get all the content before it ends. Party.
- What is a party without friends? We’ve also added a gear upgrade – you’ll get bonus EXP when playing in a pre-made party. It will be an 8% upgrade for one additional player, 12% for two, 16% for three, and 20% for the entire team. This will also remain active during version 3.0.
- In addition, we are permanently adding Account Level – a new way to recognize and reward the time you spend playing all of the VALORANT modes. Now the player card of your account will show a numerical level based on how much you play. In addition, you will also go up to a certain level depending on how many games you have played before version 3.0.
Other general fixes and fixes
- Characters blocked by Sage’s Barrier Orb now break the wall when resurrected to ensure they are not pushed off the map.

- Fixed an issue where Reyna’s Despise ability could not be purchased again if the purchase menu was closed and reopened in the same purchase phase.
- Fixed an issue where canceling Sova Hunter’s Fury while the shot was loading would allow the player to skip the save animation when equipping a weapon, skill, or the Spike.
- Fixed an issue where picking up Cypher’s Prisons / Tripwires and Killjoy Nanosworms during the purchase phase would prevent a second loadout from being purchased.
- Fixed a bug that caused the inner sight to turn on or off.
- Fixed an issue where AoE kills would not award the proper reward if the enemy suffered a debuff.
- Fixed a bug that caused the icon pulse and the Spike’s beep to be out of sync.

- Fixed a bug that caused the spectator kill report to have no team colors.
