Riot Games has just rolled out the Valorant update 11.07, fixing some critical issues related to Cypher and Waylay’s abilities. Let’s break down the changes.
This summer has been eventful for Valorant, marking its fifth anniversary with new agents, map updates, and fresh bundles. As the season shifts to fall, Riot continues to fine-tune the game. The previous patch, 11.06, introduced a long-awaited replay system and tackled bot accounts with a significant ban wave.
Now, the 11.07 patch focuses on improving visual clarity for certain abilities. Here’s what you should know.
Fixes for Cypher and Waylay
One of the major highlights of this patch is the improvement of Cypher’s Spycam. A previous bug made it hard for players to catch vital details while using the camera, which has now been resolved. Additionally, Waylay’s Convergent Paths have been enhanced to clearly define edge markers, allowing for better navigation during gameplay.
Moreover, abilities that can be placed and reactivated will now show a unique teal color on the minimap. This change also applies to information-gathering abilities like Tejo’s stealth drone, which will now feature a directional arrow to show where it is focused.
Interestingly, a new custom mode is set to launch on October 3rd, promising even more options for players. This follows the trend of Riot’s commitment to enhancing gameplay and community engagement. According to a recent survey, 75% of players appreciate regular updates, as they keep the game fresh and exciting.
