Not too much in Valorant Patch Notes 8.10 but still an important update. The game informs you when anyone in a match has action taken against them. The Basic Training Event update helps the new player experience. Small bug fixes to Cypher and Clove.
The full list of Valorant Patch Notes 8.10 covered below.
Key Takeaways
- Notified of Other Players Actions (penalized or banned) - You receive a notification for every player actioned upon in your games regardless if you report them personally.
- Basic Training Event - The Basic Training Event now includes clearer missions and milestones to help you navigate the New Player Experience with a bit more guidance before your Ranked climb. The Basic Training Event appears similar to other Events, allowing you to view your progress, and understand your goals at each milestone.
- Cypher Bug Fix - fixed an issue where shots fired immediately would bypass the weapon’s raise animation and not deal damage after exiting Cypher’s Spycam (E).
Player Behavior Updates
- If anyone in your match is actioned on, you'll receive a notice when they are penalized, even if you didn't report them yourself. Please note that we already have reporter feedback, but this just expands the scope of who receives messages.
Progression Updates
Basic Training Event
- We are releasing an update to our Welcome Contract for new players! The new structure includes clearer missions and milestones to help you navigate the New Player Experience with a bit more guidance before your Ranked climb.
- The Basic Training Event will appear similar to other Events, allowing you to view your progress, understand your goals at each milestone, and complete them to earn rewards to jumpstart your VALORANT experience.
- If you have previously completed the Welcome Contract, you will not see the Basic Training Event (don’t worry, you have already earned all the same rewards!).
- If you are partially complete with the Welcome Contract, your previously earned rewards will be reflected in the Basic Training Event when it comes online, and you will be able to proceed through Basic Training, earning XP toward your Battlepass.
Bug Fixes
Agent
- Fixed an issue where shots fired immediately after exiting Cypher’s Spycam (E) would bypass the weapon’s raise animation and not deal damage. The weapon raise animation is now played for its full duration.
- Fixed issues where the timer for Clove’s Pick-Me-Up (C) could be restarted which would allow Clove to have more time than intended to activate the ability.
Valorant Patch Notes 8.10 Closing Statement
Valorant Patch Notes 8.10 has something for new and old players. The Basic Training Event update helps newer players jump in and better understand Valorant as a whole. Being notified when anyone in the game has action taken against them, without even personally reporting them, helps the general morale of players.
