Valorant Patch 4.02: Full Notes Detailed

Performance Updates

• Improved latency for Windowed Fullscreen mode to match closer to Fullscreen Exclusive
  ○ These improvements should play well with in-game overlays, however, having another program’s window on top of your gameplay window will negate these benefits.

Social Updates

• AFK detection buff
  ○ Updated detections for non-participatory behavior in game. 

• Agent-select reporting
  ○ Looks like there’s been some confusion around Agent-select reporting. Remember, you can right click players in pre-game and report them if they’re being disruptive.

Bugs

Cosmetics

• Fixed a bug where the pulsing FX around the Spectrum Z logo were appearing next to the trigger during second inspect animation on the Bulldog.

Agents

• Fixed issue where Killjoy’s Alarmbot and Turret were unretrievable after being resurrected by Sage.

Known Issues

Esports Features

• Projectile Follow currently bugs out for Observer Followers.
