Valorant 6.10 Update Early Release Patch Notes
Spray Wheel
Now players can activate the spray wheel using their assigned keybind which has four different kinds of sprays. There is a search option in the spray wheel selection menu as well. This is convenient for anyone wanting to select a specific character for their spray.
When you quickly hit the spray button, however, the spray at the top of the wheel will be used. The wheel will have audio queues and there will be a cooldown for sprays. A new grid is also added, which will allow players to flip through the sprays and sort them into favorites.
For convenience, Riot has also added an Empty Spray Wheel button to reset the wheel. One can also disable the wheel through settings if they don’t want it.
Controller UI Changes
Let us quickly breeze through the Controller Agents’ UI overhaul for this update.
- Updated the size of Brimstone’s Sky Smoke (E) and Orbital Strike (X) targeting reticles so that they match their size before the update that shipped in patch 6.08.
- Removed the mouse cursor that was displayed on Brimstone’s Sky Smoke (E) and Orbital Strike (X), and Omen’s From the Shadows (X).
Portrait Changes and New Voice Lines
- We’ve updated Fade’s in-game portrait for better gameplay readability and quality consistency.
- We’ve updated Harbor’s in-game portrait for better gameplay readability and quality consistency.
- We’ve updated some Agent portraits to be higher resolution.
- Added new Reyna Voiceover Lines.
These are just some general changes but we are excited to see what Riot did with the Reyna Voicelines. Maybe a teaser for the next Valorant Agent?
Bug Fixes
There are a few bugs that were prevalent in the last update. Riot has attempted to fix some of them. Let us see which one.
- Fixed an issue where Yoru’s Fakeout (C) would min flash players that were outside of its conal range of effect.
- Fixed issue that was causing a slight delay between sources of concussion hitting players and the actual effects of the debuff being applied.
- Fixed a bug where Yoru’s Fakeout echo would sometimes not have a weapon equipped
- The weapon that Yoru’s Fakeout echo equips should now use a more accurate weapon skin.
- Killjoy spent some time in the workshop hammering out bugs that were causing her Turret to aim at the ground. (Fixed in Patch 6.09)
These are all the changes for the new update. As for the release date, the PBE will end today at the time of writing so we might be closer to the next update. For more Valorant content, click here.
