Valorant Patch 9.11 Gameplay & Mode Updates
With Patch 9.11, you'll be able to upgrade your weapon skins way faster than usual, and the developers added the ability to unlock multiple available skin levels in one single transaction. Moreover, the in-game ping system that allows players to communicate without mics has gone through two major changes. Smokes will now block your in-world pings from traveling through them and instead land on the smoke.
Additionally, pings made on your map will no longer appear in the world, and they will be displayed on the minimap only. To help you navigate the new ping behaviors, Riot Games has implemented new ping visuals and sounds. As far as the Team Deathmatch feature is concerned, the Regen Shield has been added in Stage 1. When you use the Classic, you'll get the Regen Shield instead of Light Armor.
