Valorant v25 (Patch 10.06) Changes

A new update has been released with buffs to KAY/O, and nerfs to Yoru and Vyse, as well as some performance updates to Sunset, and some general bug fixes. For more updates and to socialize, join the midnight plaza.

Freebies — Smite Knife Gun Buddy Be sure to login between now and April 15 (7AM AEST) to receive a free Smite Knife Buddy! If you have purchased a Smite, Smite 2 or Bolt skin before April 25 (8AM AEST), you will also receive a golden version of the buddy.

Agent Updates KAY/O (Buff)

FLASH/DRIVE (Q) will now have a 0.8 second windup and then pop with unique audio and visuals when triggered, showing the flash, as well as where it bounced off of. This new windup will not be triggered if it is already less than 0.8 seconds from popping, and therefore will not increase the time it takes for the flash to detonate. The unequip time of the flash has been reduced to 0.6 seconds (from 0.85).

Underhand (right-click) thrown FLASH/DRIVEs (Q) have had their duration increased to 1.5 seconds (from 1.25s).

The voice line callout range for KAY/O's FLASH/DRIVE (Q) flashing voice line can be heard by team mates from 50 metres away (from 20m), and a minimap indicator has been added to the flash for team mates.

NULL/cmd (X/Ultimate) now takes 1.5 seconds to be resurrected during his ultimate (from 3s).

Yoru (Nerf)

The credit cost of Fakeout (C) has been increased to 200 (from 100).

Vyse (Nerf)

The duration of Vyse's Razorvine (C) has been decreased to 7 seconds (from 10s).

The duraton of Vyse's Shear (Q) wall has been decreased to 6 seconds (from 8s).

QoL Changes, Bug Fixes & General Updates

When playing on Sunset, players should see an increase in performance through technical adjustments made — this is through reducing the number of map-specific objects that tick each frame, thus improving CPU performance.

Bug Fixes have been implemented for agents including Vyse, Raze, Clove, Deadlock, Breach, Sova, KAY/O, Gekko, Iso, and Tejo — for a full list of these bug fixes, check here.

When reporting players for cheating, players that have reported a user will see better reporter feedback when this leads to a ban.

Content Warning Modding Tutorial

Here is a guide on how to mod Content Warning as well as information on what mods are used for the profile which we use in the midnight plaza.

Modding Content Warning Tutorial

To mod Content Warning, follow the steps below.

Install Thunderstore Mod Manager

Select the option Select Game for Content Warning from the list of games (favourite it for easy access later, if desired).

Press Import/Update from the Profile Selection Screen

Press Import New Profile

Press From Code

Enter in the following code 018edf79-42bf-db0f-89e3-4dc2b39eeaa4, this will install the mods you need.

After waiting a while for the mods to install, you should be able to press the Modded button with the play button icon and you’re good to go. Just get someone to invite you, or join in through their Steam profile.

Profile Mods

Gameplay Changes

Oxygen and Health can regenerate in the diving bell, and will be drained slightly slower for more sprinting. Additionally, changes have been made to stamina which will also drain slower and regenerate faster — these values can be modified to balance as we play. The Diving Bell UI will also now indicate when players are dead too.

Healthcare and all emotes are now free; no more paying hospital bills or worrying about cash when it comes to playing with lots of players.

There are now 5 inventory slots.

Excess views from one quota will roll over to the next one.

Quality of Life Changes

You can now sprint in any direction which is great for recording monsters whilst running away as you could previously only sprint forwards.

You can now change your field of view or FOV up to 100° (default is 70°).

There are now more colours and no character limit for your face with more text sizes. Additionally, your colour will also be applied to your suit. Faces can also now be rotated by 15°, instead of the default 90°.

More player support and late-joining (inviting friends after a game has started) is enabled.

The recorded video is now saved in MP4 format and not WEBM, and is a higher resolution at 30FPS 840p (this can be changed, by default it is 24FPS 480p).

Known Bugs/Issues

The intended resolution for recording was going to be 1920 x 1080 at 90FPS, however recording uses CPU and therefore this was very laggy to the point it was unplayable when recording. After testing, it is recommended that we record at 1080 x 840 at 45FPS or lower to accommodate all devices.

It does not seem like videos are actually saved as MP4 files, they still seem to be WEBM files.

In addition to the above, sometimes the files say they saved when they have not — please do ensure that these have actually saved as they will be lost otherwise.

Higher FOVs do affect the UI scaling, so it might not be viable for people playing with unique resolutions, i.e., wide or stretched.

Removed Mods

Inventory Scroll removed as this changed the key bind for zooming with the camera to Z + Scroll, making it unnecessarily harder for something which wasn't a big issue in the first place — requested by @pattycakes1214.

Text Chat was removed as we just don't need this and when creating your face and typing in T, it would open text chat — this may be added back if Emily plans on playing.

Removed ability to re-configure where videos are saved as this just didn't work.
