After the launch of a whole new Episode of content, it’s perhaps no surprise that Valorant’s latest patch 3.01 is a small one. As revealed today in the patch notes, 3.01 comprises only fairly minor bug fixes.

Agents

  • Sage’s can no longer place Barrier Orb on some projectiles while they’re in the air
  • Fixed bug where Skye was able to activate the flash of Guiding Light while suppressed
  • Fixed the ability to heal KAY/O while downed in NULL/CMD
  • Fixed Sova’s Recon Bolt projectile from looking deployed for enemies when flying through the air

Social

  • Fixed a bug where you were able to abuse text chat colors to impersonate system messages
  • Fixed a bug where the invite button UI overlapped with Defender Coach UI in Custom Games
  • Fixed bug where names were appearing as question marks if you had the “Use Generic Names for Players Outside my Party” setting turned on

Progression

  • Fixed alignment issues in Observer view
  • Fixed Account Leveling issue where some of you got a lower level than intended
    • If impacted, you will receive your correct Account Level and will keep the AP gained while playing at the incorrect level.
  • Fixed visual issues affecting Account Leveling at the End of Game screen

On a more exciting note, fans of Valorant’s impressive weapon skins can look forward to the launch of a brand new bundle. Called Ruination, the bundle is the first to feature a League of Legends theme, tying into the current in-game event that is taking place right now over on Riot’s hugely popular MOBA.

Full credit on the reveal goes to Hitscan’s YouTube channel, which details the bundle’s design and animations in a detailed video you can watch below. As you’ll see, the bundle’s aesthetic is somewhat reminiscent of the Reaver set, which has proven very popular.

Ruination will be the next premium bundle featured in the in-game store after the “Give Back” bundle expires.
