Sound Visualization (Audio Attenuation)
We’ve brought in more sounds made by Agents under the category of sounds that display their audio distance on the mini-map via the white circle. This includes ability sounds, reloads, spike interactions and more.
Why? We wanted to provide players with the ability to understand when their noise can be heard by enemies and give them an idea of how far the sounds can be heard.
The first season of Valorant has just started at the same time as the official release of the game. Entitled Ignition, you'll find everything you need to know about it in this article.
