Deceptively Important Bugfixes in Valorant 10.07 Patch Notes

by

The 10.07 update for Valorant appears to primarily address technical issues, but some of the bugfixes in this release carry significant importance beyond first glance.

Over time, the kits for Valorant Agents have become increasingly intricate, with their abilities featuring multiple components rather than the simpler setup of characters such as Brimstone, whose repertoire primarily consists of smoke bombs, a molotov cocktail, a team enhancement, and a large laser.

This upcoming update primarily addresses and rectifies various bugs affecting certain characters such as Waylay and Vyse, who exhibit unusual behavior when interacting with the game’s mechanics. Additionally, it aims to correct an issue where several agents were appearing transparent to other players due to nearsight glitches.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed this update isn’t packed with the major balance tweaks we saw in version 10.06, but it does bring some crucial Quality of Life adjustments. These changes might subtly impact specific Agents by providing buffs or toning them down a notch.

Here are the full Valorant patch 10.07 notes:

Valorant 10.07 patch notes
