Valorant Patch 10.06: KAY/O Buffs, Agent Adjustments & More!
The Valorant 10.06 patch has dropped, bringing exciting changes to the game! This update focuses on agent balance, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Get ready for a revamped KAY/O, tweaked abilities for Yoru and Vyse, and a smoother experience on Sunset. Let's dive into the details!
KAY/O Overhaul: A More Precise Agent
KAY/O receives significant buffs. His FLASH/DRIVE now has a 0.8-second windup after bouncing, improving accuracy and providing clear visual and audio cues. The underhand flash duration is extended to 1.5 seconds, increasing its effectiveness. Teammates now get a minimap indicator, and the voice line range is boosted to 50 meters for better coordination. His NULL/cmd ultimate sees a huge improvement; ally resurrection time is cut in half to just 1.5 seconds.
Agent Adjustments: Balancing the Battlefield
Yoru’s Fakeout now costs 200 credits (double the previous cost), making it a more strategic choice. Vyse receives nerfs, with her Razorvine and Shear durations reduced to 7 and 6 seconds respectively, demanding more precise ability timing.
Performance and Bug Fixes: A Smoother Experience
This patch optimizes Sunset's CPU performance for improved frame rates, especially on lower-end systems. Numerous bug fixes address various agent issues, impacting animations, ability interactions, and sound effects for agents like Vyse, Raze, Deadlock, Breach, Sova, KAY/O, Gekko, Iso, and Tejo. Check the full patch notes for a comprehensive list.
What's Next?
The Valorant 10.08 patch, arriving April 29th, 2025, will bring Sunset back into the competitive map rotation, replacing Fracture. While the future of Sunset's balance remains to be seen, this update showcases Riot Games' commitment to refining the Valorant experience through continuous balance adjustments and performance improvements. Stay tuned for more updates!
