Prepare for Valorant's Act 3 – It's a Big One!
Hey Valorant players! Get ready, because a massive update is hitting us – and it's bringing Season 2025 Act 3 with it! Patch 10.07 is dropping first, focusing on those pesky bugs that have been bugging us all. Then, bam! Act 3 launches, shaking things up with map changes, shiny new cosmetics, and some agent adjustments.
Patch 10.07: Bug Fixes, Bug Be Gone!
Before we even get to Act 3, patch 10.07 is here to clean house. They've been working hard to fix a ton of bugs affecting agents like Waylay and Vyse – you know, the kind that make you want to throw your mouse across the room. Think smoother gameplay, less visual glitches, and fewer unexpected sound effects – which, let's be honest, is a huge win. They've also snuck in some quality-of-life improvements, too, making the whole experience feel a bit more polished.
Map Changes: Sunset's Back, Fracture's Gone
Act 3 is bringing a major shake-up to the competitive map pool. Fracture, that controversial map that’s either loved or hated (let’s be honest, mostly hated), is out. But don't worry! Sunset is making its triumphant return! And Bind’s sticking around. This mix is meant to keep things interesting and strategic, especially for those watching the Masters Toronto event. Sunset's been tweaked to fit the current agent meta, making it a fresh and exciting addition to the competitive scene.
New Cosmetics: Show Off Your Style!
The Act 3 Battle Pass is absolutely loaded with new cosmetics! We're talking the stylish Bite Shift skin line for the Vandal, Sheriff, and Operator – plus a matching butterfly knife. The free track gives you the Serpent's Strike player card and a Golden Fang gun buddy, while the premium track unlocks animated sprays and the adorable Tacti-Bear Flex cosmetic. Seriously, who doesn't love a tactical bear?
Agent Adjustments and Ranked Changes
No new agents this time around, but Deadlock and Harbor are getting some buffs based on community feedback and tournament data. Hopefully, this helps balance things out a bit! And for all you ranked grinders, there’s a Rank Shield to prevent demotions between major tiers – less stress, more climbing! Premier mode also gets a new overtime system and updated leaderboards.
Don't Miss the Night Market!
Before Act 3 kicks off, don't forget about the Night Market running from April 9th to 29th, 2025! This is your chance to snag discounted weapon skins, maybe even grab that Magepunk Phantom or Gaia's Vengeance Bucky you've been eyeing. It’s a great opportunity to upgrade your arsenal without breaking the bank!
Get Ready for Act 3!
Between the bug fixes and the map changes, Valorant's 10.07 patch and Act 3 promise to completely refresh the experience. Whether you're pumped about the new cosmetics or just eager for a smoother game, get ready for some action! Keep an eye on the official Valorant website and social media for all the latest updates. See you in early June!
