Valorant 10.05 Patch Notes Revealed

On March 18th, Riot Games officially disclosed the detailed patch notes of the upcoming Valorant 10.05 update.

As mentioned earlier, RR rollbacks remain the highlight of this update, but it has also brought with it several bug fixes for the various maps and Agents in the game.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the detailed patch notes for the Valorant 10.05 update, as already confirmed by the devs:

ALL PLATFORMS

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

• Ranked Rollbacks are live!
  • If you lost RR due to a match against a confirmed cheater in the last week, you will be eligible for an RR refund! 
  • Here’s how it works:
    • You will get a pop-up notification showing the exact amount of RR being refunded.
    • To apply the refunded RR, you must complete one Competitive match.
    • Once you finish that match, the refunded RR will be reflected in your End of Game summary screen—win or lose, the refund still gets added to your total RR for that game.
    • Important: Ranked Rollbacks are only valid within the current Act and there is a cap per Act. If you qualify for a refund, be sure to play a game before the Act ends to claim it!

BUG FIXES

• Agents
  • Raze:
    • Fixed a bug where Blast Pack’s explosion was slightly smaller at the tip of the explosion since the explosion changes that went live in 10.03 
  • Clove
    • Fixed a bug where Clove could take damage or die for a single frame upon reviving with Not Dead Yet

GENERAL UPDATES

BUG FIXES

Fixed a bug where it would take several seconds to reconnect to comms when going back to the custom game lobby after match.

It’s important to note that Ranked Rollbacks are only valid within the current Act, which means that you won’t receive any RR refund if you’ve lost to a cheater in the past Act. Additionally, there will be a cap for RR refunded per Act, but the exact number hasn’t been revealed by Riot at the time of writing.
