VALORANT patch notes

What changed, when it was documented, and where to read the full notes.

By Riot Updates Research Desk Sources checked Sources 148

Riot announced Patch 13.06 for 22 September 2026, including the Warden rifle, Gauntlet: Glitched, and Agent Mastery. That is a developer-update announcement, not a live numbered notes record in this archive.

147 numbered patch records across 7 years: 17 from 2026 and 130 historical records, plus 9 linked follow-ups. See coverage and remaining gaps.

Patch 13.05 PC / shared changes

Anti-abuse penalties, smoke fixes and Champions Pick'Ems

Riot begins penalizing detected stream-sniping and instalock tools, reduces sound-spray hearing range and fixes dissipating smokes blocking flashes. Champions Shanghai Pick'Ems opens September 10. PC Range practice gains bot-count options. The Agent Gear overhaul is announced for 13.06 on September 22, not implemented by 13.05. A later 14 September developer update also announced the Warden rifle, Gauntlet: Glitched, and Agent Mastery for 13.06; those are not part of this 13.05 note and are not counted as a live numbered patch here.

Historical balance close-up · 2024

How Clove changed after launch

Selected introduction, display-fix and balance changes from 8.05–8.11. This is not every Clove change or their current kit.

The useful distinction is between a display correction and a real balance change: the 8.07 health fix did not grant extra health, whereas 8.11 changed ability costs and timing.

4 of 4 selected changes shown, oldest first.

Patch 8.05PC / shared changes

Clove becomes playable

The new Controller can place smokes after death and use an ultimate to return temporarily, subject to a kill or damaging-assist condition.

Patch 8.07PC / shared changes

151-health display was visual, not a health buff

The fractional-damage display fix addresses misleading HUD values, including Clove appearing to reach 151 health. Riot explicitly says the underlying damage gameplay did not change.

Patch 8.11PC / shared changes

Pick-Me-Up becomes dearer and shorter

Riot raises the credit cost and shortens both the effect duration and the qualifying damaging-assist window.

Before, as documented
100 credits; 10-second duration; 10-second assist window
After, as documented
200 credits; 8-second duration; 6-second assist window

Patch 8.11PC / shared changes

Not Dead Yet requires another ultimate point

The ultimate's cost and unequip delay rise. Smoke assists no longer satisfy the requirement for surviving its fighting state.

Before, as documented
7 ultimate points; 0.7-second unequip delay
After, as documented
8 ultimate points; 0.8-second unequip delay
Archive coverage, dates and corrections

PC and shared changes, with explicitly labeled console differences. Current and legacy official English patch indexes were reconciled with the existing records. Historical entries summarize each note's overview and introductory context; current entries and selected balance close-ups provide additional detail. Publication dates determine browsing order. This is not an exhaustive transcription of changes.

  • Numbering gaps without a located note include 1.13, 2.10, 3.11, 4.06, 5.02, 5.11, 6.09, 7.11, 8.06, 11.03 and 13.03. A missing number is not evidence that a patch shipped.
  • Riot explicitly skipped 11.01 to prepare for the engine upgrade in 11.02. Its notice is not counted as a gameplay patch. The April Fools notes 33 ⅓ and 2004 are also excluded.
  • The earliest covered note is the closed-beta 0.47+ document. Preceding alpha changes and separate console-only or regional/mobile release histories are not exhaustively covered.
  • Riot announced Patch 13.06 for 22 September 2026 in a 14 September developer update (Warden rifle, Gauntlet: Glitched, Agent Mastery). No official numbered 13.06 notes page was in the checked English index on 19 September 2026; it is not counted as live.
  • All 317 existing official source documents received full-body amendment screening on September 11, 2026. Explicit sections, dated balance/bugfix headings and retrospective mentions were reviewed; linked summaries are selective. Unlabeled edits, removed material, social-only announcements and regional updates can remain missing. No detected amendment is not proof that no hotfix occurred.
  • The champion close-ups below remain selected 2024 changes, not complete entity histories or current builds.

The check date is when we reviewed sources, not a promise that no later update exists. Notes can be published before rollout or amended afterward. Regional availability may differ. Browse Riot's official patch index for newer notes.

How this connects to the existing research
  • Reuses the identity of the existing Patch 8.05 milestone. VTL162 records Clove's introduction; VTL160 is a broader content-period entry, not this release date.
  • Reuses the Patch 8.11 milestone. The separately dated console-platform row is not merged into this PC record.
