The patch notes for the upcoming Valorant 6.02 update have been released by Riot Games. While there aren’t many balancing adjustments, the game’s handling of ping and latency issues, as well as various voice chat monitoring tools, have been significantly improved. In addition to putting the voice chat evaluation programme into a limited beta and fixing many critical bugs with various agents and maps, most notably Lotus, the most recent patch focuses on easing the problems players have when playing against others who have a high ping. Following are the Valorant patch 6.02 official notes.
WEAPON UPDATES
STINGER
Valorant Team believed that the Stinger is overperforming at medium to long-range engagements at its price point. Force buying Heavy Armor and Stingers on both rounds 2 and 3 was too effective and lacked the appropriate nuance and economic tradeoffs. Players can occasionally still access this strategy granted they have the credits to do so.
