The patch notes for the upcoming Valorant 4.07 update has been revealed by Riot Games, and it introduces a bunch of new changes to the title including new servers, weapon changes, and a lot more.
The weapon updates that patch 4.07 is bringing to Valorant include changes to the Bulldog and Stinger, with both weapons now delaying firing inputs while bringing up the weapon to aim down sights (ADS).
This change should prevent players from getting burst-mode accuracy improvements from before they finish raising their weapon. Alongside this, Agent-based weapons like ultimates for Neon, Chamber and Raze can now be input-queued to equip after the current action.
Other than these changes, Valorant patch 4.07 also brings improvements to AFK detection, loading times in the VP store and a number of bug fixes.
The highly anticipated Valorant patch 4.07 is set to be released later today, and it will bring with it new LATAM servers which should help with latency in that region. The devs have also confirmed that the LATAM servers will go live “not long after” the release of the 4.07 patch.
