Brimstone’s Stim Beacon has been nerfed in VALORANT Patch 4.05

Multiple agents in Valorant were altered in Patch 4.04, causing the Controller meta to shift and allowing other agents to emerge more frequently in competitive and professional matches. Brimstone’s Sky Smoke and Stim Beacon were improved in the update, making him a viable choice. Along with the Rapid Buff, the Stim Beacon also gives a speed increase, considerably boosting its advantages.

The Stim Beacon has been slightly nerfed in Patch 4.05. While many fans were excited about the update, Riot Games has slightly nerfed the Stim Beacon in Patch 4.05. The Stim Beacon now has a single charge rather than two, and the price has doubled from 100 to 200. This forces players to use the Stim Beacon judiciously while without completely nerfing the ability.

Other improvements introduced in Patch 4.05 include crosshair codes. Players can now produce crosshair codes to share with friends or other players, allowing them to quickly employ a certain crosshair. You can copy and paste the code into the settings to instantly recreate the crosshair in-game.

The new Controller meta is a breath of fresh air, as it allows players to choose from a variety of agents on various maps. This is more fun than the Astra/Viper meta, in which only two agents were viable on nearly every map. Hopefully, the Valorant Brimstone nerf won’t have a significant impact on his pick rate, and he’ll continue to appear in professional battles.
