Valorant9.05 patch is here and the new update has buffed a couple of Agents and weapons. It also includes some map updates for consoles and here’s a complete rundown of the patch notes.
Update 9.05 has buffed Astra after a long time and Chamber has his Rendezvous radius increased. Ares has also been buffed where it performs better while crouched. Omen has some new voice lines for Viper, Clove, Iso, and Vyse.
What’s new in Valorant patch 9.05?
Astra’s Star count increases from 4 to 5, giving her the power back to maneuver between Smokes, Gravity Well, and Nova Pulse just the way it was before patch 7.04.
Chamber’s Rendezvous gets a buff too where the teleport radius has been increased from 13 to 18 meters. This will give the Sentinel more freedom when it comes to escaping gunfights or simply teleporting to another part of the map effectively.
Ares’ nerf gets revered and it’s as effective as the Odin while crouched. Its headshot multiplier has been adjusted from 2.4 to 2.5 which means you can kill an enemy with two shots on their heads if they are within 30 meters. Regarding map updates, Breeze enters Unrated and Swift Play queues on consoles.
WEAPONS UPDATES
Ares
These changes aim to make headshot damage more consistent with competitors and to encourage its capability at holding down a location against multiple enemies.
