One plaguing issue troubling players though has been the accuracy of weapons in the game, especially while running and firing.

Commenting on this development, a Valorant developer said, “We have some changes planned for Patch 2.02 that should help address sentiment on running accuracy with rifles.” Riot also reassured gamers of being by their side and addressing issues as they crop up.

“Keep in mind, we’re making sure not to change too many systems at once to ensure that shooting doesn’t feel so dramatically different that you’ll have to relearn habits. As always, we’ll keep an eye on the change and will continue to adjust as necessary,” the developer concluded.
