Valorant Patch 6.0.8 - Everything You Need To Know

Patch 6.0.8 will introduce changes to one of the game’s most-played sentinels.
by Tit Krajnik on April 25, 2023   

Valorant Patch 6.0.8 officially went live alongside the launch of Episode Six, Act Three, on Tuesday, April 25, and it introduced many changes, namely to Killjoy. The popular sentinel will have some of its abilities adjusted so they interact with other abilities and players better.

 

Besides changing Killjoy’s abilities, Patch 6.0.8 will remove Iceox from the rotation and improve Gekko’s Wingman’s plant and defuse audio, so the players can hear the audio cues better in combat situations.

Valorant Patch 6.0.8 Patch notes

Agent Updates

Gekko

  • Wingman (Q) - Audio improvements to Wingman’s (Q) plant and defuse audio.
    The audio cues for Wingman’s spike and defuse sound were unclear during hectic combat. This should help make those audio cues stand out.
  • Updated Gekko’s in-game portrait for better gameplay readability and quality consistency.


Killjoy

  • Nanoswarm (C)
    Nanoswarm reveal radius increased 350 >> 525
    Nanoswarm audio has been updated. Now it also turns off when disabled as a result of Killjoy being killed or suppressed
    Improved feedback for the enemy when they destroy Nanoswarm
    Nanoswarm is now revealed when it is disabled
     
  • Other Abilities
    Updated visuals for Killjoy’s ultimate Lockdown (X) being destroyed
    Removed the yellow warning UI Indicator for enemies Killjoy’s Lockdown (X)
    Updated deactivate sounds for Killjoy’s Turret (E) and Alarmbot (Q) to make them more distinct


“As Killjoy has taken on a more prominent place in the meta, we’ve noticed a couple of areas where we could improve the ways her abilities interact with other players/the environment,” read the patch notes.

“We’ve done a pass on some of her audio cues to make them more distinct and make it clearer when her utility has been destroyed. In addition, we’ve increased the reveal radius on Nanoswarm (C) to better match its area of damage and make it more realistic for enemies that are moving methodically to track them down. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this balance point moving forward. Finally, we’ve removed the yellow warning indicator that was added to Lockdown (X) last patch, as it was too noisy on screen for the full duration of her ultimate winding up.”

Miscellaneous Changes

Brimstone’s Sky Smoke (E), Orbital Strike (X), and Omen’s From the Shadows (X) abilities have updated targeting visuals to help with map placements and precision.

Cosmetic Upgrades

Riot has updated Shorty models, including the default skin, to get them “up to par visually” with the rest of Valorant weapons. Updated Shorty skins include:

  • Default Shorty
  • Wunderkind Shorty
  • Sidekick Shorty
  • Karabasan Shorty
  • Prism II Shorty
  • Doodle Buds Shorty

Map Updates

  • Icebox is removed from the Competitive and Unrated rotation
  • Newly updated Bind gets added into Competitive and Unrated queues.

Bug Fixes

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue where “Kick ally off” displays while defusing the spike
  • Fixed a visual bug where the Spike progress bar for planting or defusing would speed up or reset while defusing
  • Fixed an issue where Yoru couldn’t drop his weapon while using Dimensional Drift (X)

Social

  • (Fixed in Patch 6.07) Fixed a bug where the add/remove friend button wasn’t available when right-clicking a party member who had “Hide my name outside my party” setting turned on
  • (Fixed in Patch 6.07) Fixed a bug where banned players would not get removed from your party
  • Fixed a bug where party invites that were no longer valid were sometimes still showing as active for players
