Henceforth, Valorant fans will have to follow each developer’s individual Clubhouse account in order to learn about the latest changes. In this article, we bring you the various updates in this patch.

Agent updates in Valorant patch 33.33

Brimstone

Valorant players welcomed the changes to Brimstone’s smoke duration. With this new update, Riot wanted to double down on the potency of the output.

Sky Smoke (E)

Duration increased from 20 seconds to 100 seconds

Breach

The developers were of the opinion that Breach was getting too much value out of consequent flashes. With the new update Riot wanted to create windows of opportunity for players to peek between flashes.

• Charges are now replenished on cooldown
• Charges reduced from 3 to 1
• Cooldown time for Charges: 5 seconds

Phoenix

Phoenix’s flashes have felt a bit underwhelming against the roster as of now. Riot wanted to find more creative ways for him to flash in this patch 33.33 update

Curveball (Q)

• Mouse3 now throws a flash upwards
• Mouse4 now throws a flash downwards
• Mouse5 now throws a flash backwards
• Mouse6 now throws a flash between his legs

Spycam

The developers know well that the Spycam uses pistols quite inadvertently. So to make it stand out for gamers, patch 33.33 goes all the way in making it more powerful.

Cypher (E)

• Spycam’s new signature is Cypher
• Pressing E now possesses a Cypher that can run around as a normal player

Maps, weapons & Bug fixes in Patch 33.33

In terms of weapon updates, Riot Games has replaced Melee weapons with toothpicks to better represent their hitbox.

The recent patch note has added support for reflections using real time Raytracing in Split’s sewer puddles.

As far as bugs go, Riot has fixed a bug that made some abilities cause damage. Another bug, that was allowing players to climb out of their current rank has been fixed as well.
