The first patch after the end of Masters Berlin is now live, with Valorant update 3.06 bringing important changes for the maps. This includes adjusting the pennable crates, Jett’s right-click no longer giving resets, and KAY/O receiving enhancements on his flash. Here’s the full breakdown of Valorant Patch 3.06.

Valorant update 3.06 patch notes

Agent Updates

Skye

Guiding Light (E)

Unequip time after casting or bending Guiding Light’s projectile increased .5 >>> .75
Windup time after activation before the flash goes off increased .25 >>> .3

Seekers (X)

Cost increased 6 >>> 7

KAY/O

FLASH/drive

Duration of windup telegraph reduced 0.5s >>> 0.3s
Duration of windup telegraph reduced on Right Click 1s >>> 0.3s
The audio attached to the in-flight projectile has been removed

NULL/cmd

Does not stop pulsing after being downed

Jett

Cloudburst

Charges reduced 3 >>>2
Our feeling here is that Jett has one too many smokes, and it’s contributed to a sense that she could get away with using them at any time, have more to spare, or spam them without much thought.
The reduced charges for her smoke should hopefully make the choice on whether to smoke a choke point, smoke a path for a dash, or make a one-way, a more tactical one.

Bladestorm

Right-click/Alternate Fire kills no longer recharge Jett’s kunai
By removing the recharge, we hope Jett mains will optimize for the single kunai kills in order to keep the Bladestorm going and really play into the high precision fantasy Jett is all about.
We want to incentivize the high skill primary fire kills while still allowing the low-risk-low-reward burst fire option.
Right-click/ Alt.Fire damage changes are reverted, damage and multipliers will mirror the left-click
We’ve seen Jett’s right-click be very unpredictable and feel that it’s confusing to have different damage rules than the left-click. This change should unify how both modes of fire work and provide a little more predictability if Jett decides to go for the single kill as opposed to chaining.

MAP Updates

Fracture

Tunnel to Generator/Canteen areas can no longer be bullet penned (a.k.a. wallbang)
One crate on B site is no longer pennable
This should create a safer planting option for attackers, while retaining a riskier, but more powerful option.
