Riot Games published the patch notes for Valorant on November 5. This time, the main focus is on bug fixes affecting agents like Gekko, Deadlock, Cypher, and Fade. Additionally, the company announced that further changes will be made by the end of the year.

Patch 9.09 Details

Riot fixed a number of agent-related bugs: for example, when using Deadlock's "Annihilation," captured players sometimes got stuck on various ledges, and players could escape from Fade's "Predator." Finally, Gekko's Boom Bot will now have an easier time making small jumps.
