VALORANT 2.02 Patch Notes: Glitchpop v2 Hits the Store

VALORANT 2.02 Patch Notes Released

In its newly released patch, VALORANT significantly increased the ''error while firing rifles when running'' that players had complained about a lot. It also increased the convergence effect that lets players climb their rank tier quickly in Competitive. Let's all take a look together at the VALORANT 2.02 patch notes. You can find information about VALORANT's Glitchpop v2 in this article of ours.

Weapon Updates

Accuracy Update While Moving With Rifles (Bulldog/Guardian/Phantom/Vandal)

Error while firing rifles when running increased: 3.75 >>> 5

Error while firing rifles when walking increased: 0.8 >>> 1.1

Error while firing rifles when moving while crouched increased: 0.3 >>> 0.8

Competitive Updates

The effect of rank point convergence has been increased. Players will now reach their matchmaking tier, i.e. their MMR, faster. This means fewer matches are needed to reach the tier they belong in.

Between Iron and Diamond, players who overperform in a match (i.e. exceed their own overall performance) will earn bonus rank points.

We want to reward moments when players perform better than expected in matches and, so to speak, "pop off."

This will also make it much easier to highlight the matches where you "stand out" from your average performance.

At Diamond 3, premade parties of up to 2 people can be formed.

We wanted to create a space for players to "show off" one step before Immortal. As players start grinding to reach Immortal and enter the leaderboard, five-person premade parties won't be able to gain an advantage at that point.

The leaderboard tier you have will now appear under the Career: Act Rank tab. At the end of the act, your last position on the leaderboard will be saved and displayed on the Act Rank Badge you earned.

Mode Updates

A rate limit on rapid clicking has been added to the in-game gun shop. Players could run into performance issues when they clicked to buy things repeatedly in a short amount of time.

This is a light restriction in most modes. It's applied most strictly in Deathmatch mode.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug that let players plant the Spike without making a sound (Thanks to a Reddit user for letting us know about the bug).

Fixed a bug that caused players exiting Sova's Owl Drone view or Cypher's camera view to be unable to move.

Fixed a bug that prevented players from exiting Cypher's camera view or moving their mouse cursor.

Fixed a bug in Deathmatch that caused enemy messages to still appear even when all opponents were muted.

Fixed a bug that caused players who frequently left matches early to not always receive the queue restriction penalties they should have.

Fixed a bug that caused the timer to appear shorter than it should on the promotion screen.

Fixed a bug that caused the agent to get stuck on corners when Omen's Shrouded Step ability targeted long distances.

Fixed a bug that caused Skye's Trailblazer ability to fail to find opponents on the cable platform in the B Site on Split.

Fixed a bug that caused Yoru to get stuck in various parts of the map while using his Gatecrash ability.
