Valorant, one of Riot Games‘ most popular free-to-play first-person shooter games, has finally issued the newest patch notes. The most recent Valorant Patch 2.11 is much smaller than previous updates, but it still includes performance and game system upgrades, as well as bug fixes and the return of Replication.
Riot Games has stated that this update is
“the quiet before the Episode 3 storm”,
The most recent Valorant patch will not include Episode 3 Act 1, as many had hoped. Instead, version 2.11 will concentrate on improving the game’s engine’s overall quality of life. Due to improvements in Epic’s Unreal Engine 4, Valorant patch 2.10 was skipped, and gamers had to wait nearly a month for it to come.
There were high hopes for a new Agent, as many believed patch 2.11 would also release Episode 3 Act 1 with it. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The focus this time will be on performance improvements, with Riot aiming to make Valorant even smoother when 2.11 goes live, according to the article.
There will also be a slew of bug fixes, both for the Agents and the maps. Fans of the game who want a more extensive description of the patch can visit Riot’s official website. However, here is a quick rundown of all the key revisions.
The last patch before Episode 3 is a light one, but Patch 2.11 brings some welcome performance updates and bug fixes. Read them here: https://t.co/rESyOmvtju
