Valorant patch 5.09 notes: Changes in agents abilities, Skye’s seekers and more

Valorant

Valorant is hard-stuck at taking out all the glitches within the game, especially since the release of the last Act. With several changes coming in hard and fast, the developers have promised to resolve all the glitches as well as tweaking certain agents’ abilities to make them more viable in the upcoming meta. Skye is probably the one most affected since the devs have stated that the glitches regarding her flash and ultimate have now been resolved.

Riot has released a list of all changes undertaken in the patch, which include:

  • Fixed a bug where Harbor’s Cascade would sometimes disappear when looking away from it (hotfixed during 5.08 patch cycle).
  • Fixed a bug where walking through Harbor’s Cove barrier was not blinding players at the intended distance (hotfixed during 5.08 patch cycle).
  • Fixed a bug where Harbor’s High Tide would have large gaps when cast in specific map locations.
  • Fixed a bug where Harbor’s Reckoning’s geysers would not spawn on the area where the player was standing.
  • Throughout this year, we’ve been periodically making improvements to Skye’s Seekers so that they more reliably and efficiently reach their target.
  • Small changes were made to how Skye’s Seekers navigate around obstacles after they’ve visually acquired their target.
  • If the target is intangible when the Seekers reach them, it will not debuff them. This includes Reyna while she is Dismissed and Yoru in Dimensional Drift.
  • Fixed an issue where Yoru would still enter his stealth and intangible state if he was detained while casting Dimensional Drift. The detain now properly interrupts the cast.
  • Fixed an issue where Fade could activate her Haunt and Seize projectiles to make them drop while she was Suppressed.
  • Fixed an issue where Reyna would auto-heal after a kill while in Empress even though she was Suppressed.
  • Fixed an issue where Sage could instantly break her Barrier by walling herself into a corner.

Valorant releases new Skin Bundle Soulstrife

Valorant

Valorant was rumored to release a new Halloween-themed bundle, however this rumor was never confirmed by the developers. Instead, Valorant has released the Soulstrife bundle, which appears quite similar to the horror theme of the Halloween bundle that they were going for.

Valorant has decided to drop this new bundle alongside patch 5.09, with an Oni 2.0 bundle still at works. This bundle includes a Phantom, Guardian, Spectre, Ghost, and a melee weapon skin that appears like a scythe. Overall, this is one of those minimal collections that precede the release of a big bundle, so fans are eagerly waiting if Oni 2.0 is going to be the next bundle.
