VALORANT Patch Notes 10.09: Tejo and Breach Changes, Swiftplay Updates and More

VALORANT Patch Notes have just dropped, and like everyone was expecting, this patch revolves around Tejo balance, and surprisingly Breach too. In addition, it features Swiftplay Updates and more. Here's VALORANT Patch Notes 10.09.

VALORANT Patch Notes 10.09 Preview

ALL PLATFORMS

AGENT UPDATES

Tejo

• Guided Salvo
  • We've changed the Guided Salvo to be more flexible but have adopted the no recharge model (like on Skye) to maintain the power of the rockets while also increasing cost per cast. We've also reduced the ability to easily stall across the map in a handful of scenarios we felt wasn't healthy.
  • Cost: 150
    • Grants a free charge on round start
  • Each individual rocket used will consume 1 charge.
  • The cooldown has been removed.
  • Map Targeting Range decreased from 55m to 45m.
• Stealth Drone
  • Cost: 300 >>> 400
• Special Delivery
  • Cost: 300 >>> 200
• Armageddon
  • We're raising the cost to put it in line with other ultimates that are in a similar power profile.
  • Ult points increased from 8 to 9

Breach

• Fault Line
  • Time until Fault Line detonates after its cast increased from 1 second >>> 1.2 seconds

GENERAL UPDATES

• Gifting
  • Due to popular demand, we are increasing the limit of gifts you can send to your friends from 5 to 10 gifts per day starting May 15. This change is going live when our Give Back // V25 Collection hits the Featured Store—so every gift from this bundle you send to a friend is also a gift to charity.

MODES UPDATES

• Swiftplay
  • Maximum ultimate point costs have gone up since Swiftplay launched, making it harder for some Agents to reach their ultimates. We've adjusted starting ultimate points to give you a better shot at using their ultimates within a half. This change is part of a broader Swiftplay update to scale starting ult points based on ultimate cost.
    • Breach
      • Rolling Thunder starting points 2 >>> 3
    • Killjoy
      • Lockdown starting points 2 >>> 3
    • Viper
      • Viper's Pit starting points 2 >>> 3

BUG FIXES

• Cosmetics
  • Fixed a bug where Kill Banners for certain skins (Oni, Evori Dreamwings, EX.O, Prelude to Chaos, Mystbloom, and more) were appearing smaller than normal after the first kill.
