One week before the release of the new agent, Yoru, a new update is available in Valorant.
Patch 2.01 brings a major overhaul of Slit, as well as small update for Jett. In addition, two highly requested features finally make their appearance in the game.
Agent Updates
Jett
• Smoke duration decreased 7 from >>> 4.5
Competitive Updates
- Added ability to hide custom game results from Match History.
Social Updates
- The Add Friend button now exists for teammates only, and the option of adding enemy players has been removed.
