VALORANT 9.06 patch notes are out! Patch 9.06 includes player behavior and gameplay systems updates, new player tips, and more.

VALORANT 9.06 Patch Notes Are Out

The agent updates in the VALORANT 9.06 patch notes are as follows:

AGENT UPDATES

• Changed how wall-shaped abilities and abilities that interact with walls interact with the glass window on Ascent.
  • If the center point where Phoenix's Blaze or Neon's High Gear is used touches the glass, the glass will break, but the walls themselves will no longer interact with the glass.
  • Harbor's Cascade will no longer break glass, since it doesn't touch walls.
  • Chamber's Trademark, Cypher's Trapwire, and Killjoy's Lockdown will no longer break glass when placed at the base of it.
• Updated how the sound effects for the arming and activation processes of Brimstone's Orbital Strike and Vyse's Steel Garden integrate with the area they affect. This integration will now be positioned partially linearly toward the center of the affected area, instead of directly at the agent's position, while inside these abilities' area of effect.

• The draw vote system has been updated to no longer take AFK players into account.

MAP UPDATES

  • Numerous quality of life changes were made to make it easier to place Vyse's Arc Rose and Cypher's Trapwire on boxes on Haven.

PLAYER BEHAVIOR CHANGES

• Penalties for players who abuse communication and commit violations in VALORANT have been updated to provide a better communication experience. Sanctions applied to players who repeatedly commit communication violations have been made harsher.
• To provide a healthier communication experience in VALORANT, players who go through manual behavior review for frequently abusing communication will be penalized.

SOCIAL UPDATES

• The voice chat system has been updated. You will now have a smoother experience when reconnecting after unexpected disconnects.
