Valorant Update 8.10 Patch Notes

The most significant addition to this patch is the Basic Training Event, which replaces the previous Welcome Contract. This event provides a structured and guided experience for new players, offering clear missions and milestones to help them navigate the game more effectively.

Along with the new player experience improvements, the patch addresses several bug fixes related to agents and their abilities.

Here are the complete Valorant 8.10 patch notes:

Progression Update

Basic Training Event

• We are releasing an update to our Welcome Contract for new players! The new structure includes clearer missions and milestones to help you navigate the New Player Experience with a bit more guidance before your Ranked climb.
• The Basic Training Event will appear similar to other Events, allowing you to view your progress, understand your goals at each milestone, and complete them to earn rewards to jumpstart your Valorant experience.
• If you have previously completed the Welcome Contract, you will not see the Basic Training Event (don’t worry, you have already earned all the same rewards!).
• If you are partially complete with the Welcome Contract, your previously earned rewards will be reflected in the Basic Training Event when it comes online, and you will be able to proceed through Basic Training, earning XP toward your Battlepass.

Bug Fixes

Agent

• Fixed an issue where shots fired immediately after exiting Cypher’s Spycam (E) would bypass the weapon’s raise animation and not deal damage. The weapon raise animation is now played for its full duration.
• Fixed issues where the timer for Clove’s Pick-Me-Up (C) could be restarted which would allow Clove to have more time than intended to activate the ability.

Summary

Valorant's patch 8.10 introduces the Basic Training Event, designed to provide a more guided and rewarding experience for new players. Additionally, the update addresses crucial bug fixes related to agent abilities, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience for all players.
