VALORANT V26 Roadmap - All Major Announcement
In a latest dev talk video, developer team behind VALORANT revealed the upcoming updates in the game. Check out the detailed breakdown below.
Patch 12.09: Tackling the Speed Meta
Patch 12.09 is now live as of May 12. The main focus of this patch is curbing Neon's dominance. Her movement speed while jumping in High Gear has been reduced. This change aims to make her less evasive during combat. Shotguns are also seeing a major overhaul. Moving and shooting with shotguns will now be far less accurate. This change targets the 'run-and-gun' playstyle that has frustrated many players recently.
