Valorant Patch Notes 4.0

Alongside new Agent Neon, a fresh Battlepass, and skin line, Patch 4.0 in the official blog brings a few weapons from out of the shadows, tones down some others, and improves the melee. Bind, and especially Breeze, are reshaped in areas that should adjust the attacker/defender dynamic.

MAP CHANGES:

BIND

• The double stack of cover at short A has been changed to remove a very powerful one-way smoke location that made the area a little too difficult for Attackers to approach.

• There’s also a small, new bench for a mix up when taking that first peek

BREEZE

• Increased the width of the A Main choke and removed 50/50s (where you must choose one of two locations an opponent may be located).

• Added a stack of two crates in cave

• Adjusted cover on the back of A Site and extended the pool to the far wall
• Added cover to the pillar on B Site, blocked off the back site with a new wall, and added a stack of crates to B Wall.

• The adjusted back site breaks the head peek to B Main while also giving players new cover to work with. This new cover should be useful when falling back and retaking.
• The new stack of crates limits some angles from B Main, gives you new options when holding or retaking, and should break up some awkward fights that can occur on thin walls.
• Door on A can no longer be reactivated until it is finished opening or closing

COMPETITIVE

• Starting with Patch 4.0, accounts that have yet to play in Ranked are required to reach account level 20 level before they are able to enter the Competitive queue
  • For those that have not yet reached account level 20, but have already played in Competitive queue, you will still be able to play in ranked.

Reduced 5-stack Rank Rating penalty

• Diamond 2 and below players will see their RR penalty reduced by 25% compared to the current balance. This means the new minimum penalty is 25% reduced gains/losses compared to the previous 50%
• We only made this change for ranks not breaking into, or on, the leaderboard to help maintain leaderboard integrity.

Increased Map Randomization

• Increased our map weights, which should lead to an increase in map variety and reduction in map duplicates from match to match
