Valorant 6.08 Patch Notes: new agent upgrades, balanced map changes, and more

Valorant 6.08 Patch Notes will target the Bind map and the new changes that will be seen in Killjoy’s kit.

The highly acclaimed tactical shooter: Valorant from Riot recently welcomed Gekko as a new agent. That hasn’t stopped Riot, though, from implementing a few fresh updates that will both enhance gameplay and address a few annoying problems.

Riot has recently disclosed a surprise new update that would significantly expand Valorant’s feature set and make significant meta-level adjustments.

Due to Riot Games’ decision to shuffle the map on both bomb sites, Bind will now be available in Competitive Queue as part of Patch 6.08, among other significant changes as announced on Valorant 6.08 PBE server.

Additionally, Killjoy and Gekko are the focus of Agent Updates, where the Valorant 6.08 patch is expected to add some nerfs to Killjoy’s Nanoswarm grenades and minor audio modifications to Gekko’s Wingman.

Valorant 6.08 Patch Notes

On April 25, 2023, Episode 6 Act III will be released, marking Bind’s return to Valorant. Bind will be added back to the game’s active map pool in the upcoming Valorant 6.08 patch.

Additionally, Gekko’s Wingman will receive some minor audio tweaks as part of the Valorant 6.08 patch. Players can now more clearly hear the Wingman’s audio cue as it plants or defuses the spike. Killjoy’s kits will also undergo various adjustments in addition to the new Agent.

Valorant 6.08 patch: MAPS UPDATES  

• The newly updated Bind rotates into Competitive and Unrated queues.
• Icebox rotates out of Competitive and Unrated queues.

Despite the map’s reintroduction to the game, Riot Games will give it a significant facelift so that players can have a unique Bind.

• The A and Shower areas will see the majority of the Bind alterations.
• The distance between the Shower and the teleporter outside was decreased. To make it simpler to clear the tighter angles, the A site and Shower area have been adjusted.
• Additionally, the placement of the radiant crates on the A site now provides the Attackers greater room to plant a spike, which was previously rather difficult. B site has largely remained unchanged.
• The entryway connecting the B site and B hall has been widened, and the wall between the B site and Elbow now has an open vent.
• Both attackers and defenders will have plenty of opportunities thanks to the vent.

Valorant 6.08 patch: KNOWN ISSUES  

• We are aware of an issue modifying locale within the client. Locale updates will need to be performed through Riot Client (Riot Client settings).
• We’re aware of an issue where, in rare instances, audio cues are not playing for various sound effects. We are investigating at this time and will share as soon as we know more.
