Riot Games has pushed out Valorant download version 1.000.025 on consoles and PC, and this for patch 10.1. Players can expect a short changelog for this one, with most of the changes applied to the Competitive Mode of the shooter.

Valorant’s January 21 Patch for PC and Consoles Bring Platform-Specific Changes

ALL PLATFORMS

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

  • Rank Shields have been added to Competitive Mode!
    • You are granted two Rank Shields while in Tier 1 (e.g. Silver 1, Gold 1, Platinum 1) of all Ranks except Radiant.
      • When you lose a game at 0 RR, one shield is consumed, leaving you with one shield remaining.
      • Losing again at 0 RR consumes the second shield, leaving you with zero shields remaining.
      • If you lose three games while at 0 RR, you demote to the lower rank (e.g. Gold 1 to Silver 3).
    • You do not have shields in the other tiers of a Rank (e.g. There are no shields when losing at 0 RR in Gold 2).
    • Only when you move into Tier 1 via promotion or demotion, will you replenish two shields for that tier.
      • Winning at 0 RR and going back to 10 RR will not replenish your shields.
  • You can see all information about Rank Shields in the Rank Details screen in the client!

BUG FIXES

  • Agents 
    • Tejo
      • Fixed an issue where players who exited then re-entered Tejo’s Armageddon blast zone do not count as Displaced in the Combat Report.
      • Fixed an issue where Tejo’s Guided Salvo projectile would get stuck inside the wall when cast towards a path blocked by Sage’s Barrier Orb.
      • Fixed an issue where Tejo’s Stealth Drone affected by Nearsight could see Enemy Players’ model outline at certain distances.
      • Improved an issue where Tejo’s Guided Salvo smoke trail VFX could clip through thin walls and structures once cast.
      • Fixed an issue where Tejo’s Stealth Drone is slowed outside the AOE of Sage’s Slow Orb.
      • Fixed an issue where Tejo’s Guided Salvo missile visuals are set to draw as a Cylinder instead of Sphere, showing an incorrect damage zone.
      • Fixed an issue where Tejo’s Artillery Missile loses functionality and appears as stuck if he cast it while being outside of the map.
      • Fixed an issue where Tejo’s Guided Salvo damages players on elevation without showing a warning indicator.
  • Maps
    • Bind
      • Fixed an issue where invisible collision would sometimes impede agent utility inside one of the teleporter rooms.

PC ONLY

BUG FIXES

  • Premier
    • Fixed an issue where there were inconsistent font sizes on the Change Zone and the Delete Team pop-up screens in Premier.
    • Fixed an issue where Premier matches in match history did not show a mode tooltip when you hovered over them.
    • Fixed an issue where the ineligibility warning tooltip in the lobby was very hard to trigger.

CONSOLE ONLY

BUG FIXES 

  • Competitive Systems
    • Fixed a bug where the queue timer overlaps with a portion of the Leaderboard page.

Expect the next patch to be released sometime in February given Riot’s update cadence.
