Riot GamesValorant has got a brand-new update rolling out in the form of patch 10.03, with some changes coming to slowing abilities and a few bug fixes. Here’s what you need to know.
The last few updates for Valorant have really shaken things up on Future Earth. Tejo was released at the start of the new year and has quickly settled as one of the go-to Agents for players.
On top of that, there are also new Regen Shields and rank protections so that you’re protected in certain ranked levels against having a bad start to the day. Oh, you’re also protected from cheaters too, seeing as they’re on the rise.
All these updates have meant a host of new patches from Riot, and that’ll include another in the form of 10.03, which is rolling out on February 19.
Slow changes in Valorant Patch 10.03
The standout change in this patch is the tweak to some slowing abilities, bringing things in line with the changes made in patches 9.10 and 9.11.
“All slows consistently slow dashes across the whole agent ecosystem now to match behavior we made in patches 9.10 and 9.11 for Vyse and Concuss effects,” Riot says.
“This means it now affects Chamber, Skye, and Harbor’s slows.”
Riot GamesAdditionally, there is a change to the minimap “for increased gameplay clarity & fidelity,” and there are a host of bug fixes for the buy menus, agent abilities, and even weird-looking cameras.
