Valorant 12.07 patch notes fix scopes aiming issue and brings Discord integration

by

The latest update for Valorant, patch 12.07, is now live! It includes fixes for a problem with aiming while scoped, and finally adds integration with Discord. Here’s a rundown of everything new.

Valorant is already having a big year in 2026! It’s seen the addition of the new Agent Miks, adjustments to balance gameplay by reducing the power of Waylay’s Staturate and Viper’s Vipers Pit ultimate, the introduction of a new pistol called the Bandit, and updates to maps like Breeze and Lotus, among other changes.

The new 12.07 update is live, and it addresses the recent problems with aiming using scopes. It also adds Discord integration, making it easier to connect and play with friends.

Discord integration & scope aiming fix

The latest Valorant update (patch 12.07) includes two major improvements, the most notable being a fix for scope aiming. Players previously reported that the center view felt inconsistent when using certain scopes, making accurate aiming difficult. This has been adjusted to provide a more consistent experience and improve aim.

Valorant and Discord have teamed up, letting players connect their accounts for some cool new features. Once linked, you can easily join your friends’ games, invite them to play with you, and see who’s currently online – all without leaving the game.

The full patch notes for the 12.07 update can be found below.
