Valorant Patch Notes 3.01 Released

Patch 3.01 isn’t as game-changing as previous patches, but it does fix a few irritating bugs and enhance the overall VALORANT experience by making the game more enjoyable.

Players will no longer be able to use Sage’s Barrier Orb to deflect missiles while they are in mid-flight. Skye is also unable to use her Guiding Light talent while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. There was a problem that allowed KAY/O to be healed when downed in NULL/CMD, and that bug has been fixed. In addition, patch 3.01 fixed a visual problem that allowed Sova’s Recon Bolt to seem as if it was being deployed while in the air.

Several social bugs have now been resolved, including the bug that enabled players to modify the colors of text chat to imitate system messages, which was previously present. The glitch that caused the invite button UI to overlap with the Defender Coach UI in custom games has been fixed, and the bug that caused player names to appear as a question mark if the “Use Generic Names for Players Outside my Party” option was enabled has been removed. The invite button UI will now appear as a question mark in custom games.

As you can see from the bug fixes listed below, the Riot team is still working on a few issues and is allowing the main Patch 3.0 improvements to play out while they identify potential future modifications to the game.
