VALORANT patch notes 8.09 has been released by Riot Games, and it looks like there are not many big changes in the game!
Buffs and nerfs change the course of the current VALORANT meta as they have huge effects on maps and agents.
Sometimes Riot Games release big updates to change the meta in general by playing with agents’ strong and weak sides.
That is why some patches are much important than the other ones but looking at the VALORANT patch notes 8.09, we can’t say the same.
Riot Games recently released the latest patch, and there aren’t many changes in the game apart from bug fixes and small changes to Brimstone.
VALORANT patch notes 8.09
Below you will find the official patch notes directly from Riot Games
AGENT UPDATES
Brimstone
- We’ve done some small updates to Brimstone’s Sky Smoke (E) to ensure that it fully covers the area indicated by the UI when you are placing it. This should ensure that when the outer edge of the targeting UI covers a choke point that the spawned smoke will fully cover that area as well. This change includes a slight increase to the radius of Brimstone’s smoke that should make it match the smoke size of his peers like Omen.
- Sky Smoke (E)
- Radius increased 410 >>> 415
- UI targeting size updated so that outer edge properly reflects the size of the smoke
- Sky Smoke (E)
BUG FIXES
Gameplay Systems
- Fixed an issue that resulted in you losing your crosshair profiles.
- While we can not recover lost crosshair profile settings, we are sincerely grateful for all the information you have provided to help us reach a swift resolution and will continue to monitor closely.
- If your newly created crosshair profiles still keep disappearing, please let Player Support know.
- Fixed an issue regarding Killed By feed on Combat Reports being incorrect.
- Fixed bullet tracers still being visible after being turned off in Settings if the player fires away from the map.
- Fixed an issue where the client would freeze after a game ends and would require a client restart to continue.
As seen above, the VALORANT patch notes 8.09 didn’t bring anything huge to the game but bug fixes are always welcome to improve user experience.
Let’s wait and see if Riot Games decide to make a bigger update in the upcoming patch, maybe an Agent buff or a nerf!
