VALORANT 12.04

GOOD DAY everyone! Joy here, bringing you the latest with patch 12.04! It’s a short one this time, but if you need a TL;DR:

Quality of life updates for KJ’s Turret

Updates to the Progression Hub, End of Game, and Career pages

A handful of Agent and Map bug fixes ALL PLATFORMS AGENT UPDATES

Killjoy

We are adding quality of life updates to Turret placement that match the cast paradigm of Sage’s Barrier Orb. This will help Killjoy players to angle their Turrets more precisely, without needing to position themselves at specific angles to cover the area they want.

Turret

Can now be rotated while holding down ALT-FIRE. ACTIVATE now swaps Turret direction.

Sova

Added new voicelines for Sova BUG FIXES

Agent

Killjoy

Fixed a bug where an enemy’s Nanoswarm could remain invisible if you moved too quickly in and out of its detection range.

Fixed a bug where an enemy’s Nanoswarm could remain invisible to you after Killjoy is suppressed.

Fixed a bug where Nanoswarm’s disabled effects sometimes wouldn’t play when Killjoy is suppressed.

Fixed a bug where Turret’s vision cone would disappear from the minimap if the player right-clicks.

Jett

Fixed a bug where Drift’s passive gliding SFX was audible from the other side of Astra’s Cosmic Divide.

Harbor

Fixed a bug where Storm Surge could briefly persist into the next round when cast right before a round ends.

Fade

Fixed a bug where Nightfall’s minimap indicator was slightly smaller than the actual ability.

Chamber

Fixed a bug where Trademark would play its reactivation SFX twice if Chamber had Suppress expiring on him.

Skye

Fixed an observer bug where Seekers would not show on the minimap when Skye is an attacker.

Battlepass

Fixed an issue where hitting ESC will cause the Battlepass elements to disappear/reappear instead of taking you back a page.

Maps

Breeze

Various collision improvements to allow Vyse’s Arc Rose and Cypher’s Spycam to be placed on the walls.

Fixed multiple minor art bugs around the map.

General Updates

Minor adjustments to the geometry in a few high traffic gameplay spots on multiple maps to eliminate unintended gaps.

• Performance
• Since the release of patch 12.03, some players have been experiencing significant stuttering. We have deployed a hotfix that partially fixes the stutters and have created a more robust fix this patch.

Store

Fixed an issue where the background for the accessories store was missing.

Fixed an issue where the Reaver Bandit shows up incorrectly as a limited edition item. KNOWN ISSUES
