A new batch of patch notes have dropped for Valorant, as this time around not a lot of changes have been implemented. It seems that the devs are preparing something huge in the near future, either a new agent or possibly a new weapon.

Either way, we will take a look at all of the changes that were added in Valorant so you can get a better idea of what to expect in your matches. Although the patch notes are rather short, there are still some important changes that need to be looked at.

Brimstone is seeing some love from the developers as one of his abilities has been lacking in terms of viability. There are also some nice quality-of-life changes and bug fixes to improve your gaming performance.

Valorant Patch Notes 8.09 Agent Changes

Brimstone

We’ve done some small updates to Brimstone’s Sky Smoke (E) to ensure that it fully covers the area indicated by the UI when you are placing it. This should ensure that when the outer edge of the targeting UI covers a choke point that the spawned smoke will fully cover that area as well. This change includes a slight increase to the radius of Brimstone’s smoke that should make it match the smoke size of his peers like Omen.

Sky Smoke (E)

  • Radius: 410 ⇒ 415 
  • UI targeting size updated so that outer edge properly reflects the size of the smoke
