VALORANT 2.07 Patch Notes Agent Updates
The changes to Astra and Raze and the bug fix for Viper are among the most noticeable in VALORANT Patch 2.07.
Astra
Gravity Well
- It now also pulls agents defusing the Spike toward its center.
- If enemies leave the Spike's range while defusing it, the defuse is left incomplete.
Raze
- Added sound effects that play when launching into the air with the Blast Pack.
- The visual effects of explosions and Showstopper were updated so they obstruct vision less and clear from the play area faster.
Viper
- Fixed a bug encountered when calculating whether the damage taken by players under the decay effect with a shield is lethal.
- This especially caused a target with a decay value of 50 to be left at 1 health instead of dying when hit with a Marshal.
Yoru
- Yoru can no longer plant the Spike while Dimensional Drift is active after using Gatecrash.
Omen
- Fixed an issue that caused Astra, who leaves Astral Form while Omen uses his ultimate, to see a dome in the sky.
Sage
- Fixed a bug where placing Sage's Barrier Orb next to Killjoy's turret caused it to break.
Cypher
- Cypher can no longer place a Spycam inside Cyber Cage.
Killjoy
- Fixed an issue where Killjoy's disabled Alarmbots, when reactivated, chased targets that had passed by and moved away some time earlier.
Skye
- Fixed an issue that made Skye's Guiding Light ability look like it went underground when thrown at the ground.
VALORANT 2.07 Patch Notes Other Changes
Quality of Life
- We improved the use of the ping wheel selection tool, and it should now work more consistently.
- Cypher's Trapwires now show spectators with the appropriate team colors.
Bugs
- Fixed an issue that caused spectators and observers, when switching between different views, to sometimes see the wrong crosshair marks on scoped sniper rifles. It took about 1 second for the wrong image to move to the correct position. Now the correct image will appear immediately.
Competitive Mode
- Fixed various localization issues on the server selection and promotion screen.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Match History filter to not work correctly.
- You may get an error message saying you are using too many filters at once while viewing a friend's Match History. This limit is meant to help with performance but should only apply when viewing your friend's career.
Social
- Fixed a bug that required players to restart the client to get rid of the competitive queue restriction after it expired.
- Fixed a bug that caused some players who went AFK after the match ended during a remake to receive no penalty.
- Fixed a bug that caused players using a Russian keyboard to have problems using push-to-talk with their team.
- Fixed a bug that caused the voice chat settings of players who switched to a Thai keyboard to be reset.
