Valorant Patch Notes 2.08 has brought with it several notable updates to the current Breeze map. While no new agents can be acquired, Viper & Astra’s patch will solve critical problems. Although the group complained about the Toxic Screen of the Viper and Astra’s smoke, Riot made every effort to fix these bugs.

The 2.06 patch update was given to us with the Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) audio system. However, a few glitches were also introduced with it. Riot has paid heed to all the comments about HRTF and will correct these problems with its 2.08 patch update.

MAP UPDATES

BREEZE

Introducing the newest map, Breeze, to the VALORANT map pool. Breeze is set on a remote island distinguished by its bright, playful, and colorful environment, with wide-open spaces and opportunities for long-range encounters.

• The breeze will launch alongside a Breeze-only Unrated queue that will remain active for two weeks

We look forward to evolving the role of coaches and working on this feature in partnership with coaches from the VCT ecosystem.

More about Valorant:

Riot Games’ Valorant has been a classy FPS Game after CSGO. With that being said, Developers of Valorant are so actively performing on future projects of the sport. Valorant may be a tactical shooting game involving two teams with five players in each team. Every player can check-in and play remotely from anywhere within the world. Every game has 25 rounds and therefore the team that wins 13 of them first wins the sport. Players can choose their in-game characters called agents at the beginning of the sport.
