Valorant 9.05 Patch Notes - Agent & Map Updates

Valorant Patch 9.05 finally dropped on September 10, 2024, and we're excited to give you the most important Agent changes, map improvements, and bug fixes that you'll see when you open the game.

Since we received a brand-new character with the previous Valorant Patch, the community wasn't expecting anything major for this one, but everyone is still happy to see that the developers are working to improve the overall gameplay experience. Now let's take a look at the exciting changes for Valorant Patch 9.05.

Valorant Patch 9.05 Map Improvements

As far as the maps in Valorant are concerned, the developers have been generous when it comes to fixing bugs and glitches. Moreover, the new map Breeze will be entering Unrated and Swift Play queues on the console. Other than that, you can expect to see changes in the following maps:

• Abyss
• Lotus
• Icebox
• Sunset
• The Range

Abyss had a spot where you could land on a ledge that was out of bounds, and Lotus had some minor art problems, but they are now all fixed. Icebox no longer has a gap where you can shoot through the door frame in A Piper from Mid Boiler, and Sunset's gap in the retractable roof above B Boba is gone. The Range had a placeholder in the vista that has also been removed.

Valorant Patch 9.05 Bug Fixes

There was a problem where some letters with special characters in Polish, Russian, and Japanese were not returning the correct results when using the Search bar on the Spray screen collection page, but the developers have taken care of it already.

Another common complaint was the Base Aim Curve setting, which was being applied to cursor movement on the megamap and maps for Agent abilities. Fortunately, this issue is no longer there either.

Valorant Patch 9.05 Additional Changes

The weapon Ares had its crouch benefits returned to 40%, and the headshot multiplier was adjusted to 2.5. Moreover, there is now a button to view the maps available in the Premier Playoffs. All you have to do to see the map pool is click on Playoffs Event in the schedule and then press the Show Map Pool button.

Last but not least, players who have been marked for disruptive behavior in Premier will no longer be able to participate in any team-based mode. Have fun and good luck on your next adventure. To read the full Valorant 9.05 Patch Notes, you can click here.
