Valorant patch 3.05 agent updates
Killjoy
The game developers acknowledged that Killjoy’s Turret already has a lot to offer as it provides information, chip damage, and a powerful slow.
This ability is more impactful during pistol rounds because it can stop pushes effectively when placed at a distance, and Riot Games wanted to tone down the Turrent’s effectiveness against rushes.
Raze
Boom Bot is great for clearing spaces and getting information, on top of dealing a lot of damage. Players couldn’t just ignore an incoming Boom Bot because it could one-shot them if they had light shields.
Riot Games wanted to give players more counterplay options against the Boom Bot by reducing its overall damage, while making it more affordable for Raze mains each round.
Breach, Brimstone, and Sova
These three abilities are now more effective because they can remove even more agent abilities off the map.
Valorant patch 3.05 adds Fracture
Valorant will have a Fracture-only queue that will be available for two weeks. This will allow players to practice the new map in an unrated mode setting before it is added to competitive play.
After that, the map will enter other modes, including competitive.
