Check out what’s new with the Valorant 3.0 update.
Valorant 3.0 brings significant changes to the game, with a focus on improving the impact of precise gameplay and expanding the tactical depth to the game. Riot Games will also add KAY/O, the robot agent to the FPS games with the 3.0 update.
There are economy changes to agents’ abilities and weapons. Run-and-gun kills will become even more difficult as Riot Games has introduced adjustments to the running accuracy of several weapons.
We believe VALORANT is at its best when you face a wide variety of unique challenges and are forced to make hard choices about tools and strategies you’ll use to overcome them. To that end, we have taken a pass at the entire economy of the game, changing weapon and ability prices so they better suit their impact on a match and allow players to create more dynamic, varied loadouts, and strategies.
Game-spanning changes like these can be painful as we are asking you all to relearn many things that you’re now comfortable with. There will be times when you are forced to make harder choices about what you bring into battle each round or forced to engage with an opponent differently—but just know that your enemies are facing the same challenges.
