Valorant Dev Tracker

Today, we're pushing our new "deterministic" map system out to all regions. This should increase the variety of maps in your queue based on a system we tested at the start of Patch 4.04. You can read how it all works in our most recent patch notes, under Competitive Updates.

Act 2 is where we get the jump on some Spring cleaning. Yoru is back, Controllers are reshaped, and Icebox gets a few walls knocked down. Read Patch Notes 4.04: https://t.co/9Qqq2Ch0YK https://t.co/W6R0oJiE30

Love what you guys are doing with the game and the new skins are awesome (Protocol 781-A too)!

^{You know what else would look good with my skins... [removed] very cheesy, but couldn't help myself as I know if I ever have the slightest chance in my life to get one, then it's most definitely only now.}

Well, since you discovered an easter egg we put in that's been hidden for a long time, I sent you one.

Glad you like Protocol! I bought the Phantom but haven't picked which variant to get yet.

Not a bug, I think it’s just that the aim size is not forgiving enough. I’ll dig in to see if we can make this better!

I would loooove an explanation from an engineer on what went wrong here, though we probably won't get one sadly :(

In 4.04 there was a fix for an issue where some placements of trapwires wouldn't actually trigger the trap. But the fix for that issue involved doing some extra checks to make sure the trap hits enemies.

Turns out there are some conditions (like that placement in hookah) where that new logic breaks down and ends up doing way too much work trying to check for enemies, which crashed the server.

TL;DR - Fixed one bug with trapwires, caused another.

I work on these!

Tournament mode is still in development no ETA, it's the competitive teams primary focus right now.

The cascading pick I announced as this episode, so no ETA or updates yet.

hope that helps!

Cypher now disabled completely after Astra and Yoru restored to competitive queue

Act II put VALORANT's Controller Agents through the ringer. Designers @alexanderzone7, @AdanasDev, and Jay Watford are here to break down their approach and vision for the role in this deep dive:

But...we're disabling Cypher everywhere until we can fix an exploit. Send us your energy.

Yoru and Astra are now back in your Compet queue. Thanks for all your reports! https://t.co/UkHa6D620J

Astra shouldn't be able to sell her starting star—it's priceless. This is a bug and we are removing her from Competitive queue for now, with the hopes of getting a fix in later today.

Go beyond the patch notes with a look at the hows and whys of the recent Icebox changes. Level Designer @JoeySimas has the drop.

Deep Dive Into Icebox 4.04 Changes

HM vs MARU - Challengers Korea - Main Event - Day 6

We were inspired by Gaia's Vengeance to spruce up Ascent #TeamTrees

What happened to the new agent select system?

In some cases, Yoru's Dimensional Drift isn't acting as intended, so we're temporarily disabling the Agent in the Competitive queue. We hope to get him back in as soon as possible.
