Updates in VALORANT Patch 10.09

The VALORANT Patch 10.09 has been released with key changes to the agents, game modes, along with improved social features and bug fixes. The Colombian agent, Tejo and Breach, have both received notable nerfs. Additional improvements have also been implemented in the Swiftplay mode and the gifting system.

Alterations to Agent Tejo and Breach

The most prominent changes in the new patch involve the agents. Tejo, who has been a significant figure in the pro stage since January, has been nerfed. These nerfs are specified towards Tejo’s tools and abilities to decrease his potency in high-tier gameplay. The modifications concern ability timings and impact. Breach, another agent, has also been nerfed. His signature ability, “Fault Line,” now takes longer to detonate, increased from 1 to 1.2 seconds. This gives opponents additional time to avoid or react to the ability.

Updates to Swiftplay Mode

Adjustments have been made in the Swiftplay mode as well– a speedier version of the game. One of the most notable changes includes all of the agents starting with three Ultimate points, up from one. This ensures all agents can utilize their Ultimate abilities within the shorter match duration. This particular revision is applicable to agents Breach, Killjoy, and Viper. Other tweaks are aimed at balancing the pacing and effect of Ultimates in Swiftplay, thereby making abilities readily available in the shortened match format.

Enhancements in Social Features

Social features also see improvements with the daily limit for gifting in-game items doubling from 5 to 10. This allows players to share more with their friends each day. Coinciding with the patch release is the unveiling of the “Give Back //V25” bundle. Purchasing or gifting an item from this bundle will donate to a charity.

Bug Fixes

VALORANT Patch 10.09 brings with it a set of bug fixes and minor adjustments to enhance gameplay stability and interactions between agents. A detailed list of these changes is accessible on the official VALORANT website.
