It was only a week ago that the map dropped with Episode 6 Act 1. Hence, it’s quite surprising that Riot Games will be breaking away from their bi-weekly practice and introducing an update a week ahead.
With patch 6.1, Lotus will finally be added to the Unrated and Competitive map pool. At the same time, Riot Games will introduce a fair number of bug fixes and balance updates to the map.
Replication will also be disabled. However, as it’s a temporary game mode, it will make its way back to the pool in future patches.
Valorant fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot Game’s official website. However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights of Valorant patch 6.1.
Valorant patch 6.01 official notes
1) Map Updates
Lotus
The volume for the rotating doors has been reduced while rotating. The Lotus-only queue has been removed. Lotus will now be included in the map rotation for Unrated and Competitive.
2) Mode Updates
Replication
Replication has been removed from
Modes queue.
Although the Valorant develoeprs are shelving Replication temporarily, it is still available via the custom game option.
3) Bug Fixes
Gameplay Systems
Fixed a bug where occasionally the third-person flashed visual indicator on an Agent’s head wasn’t in sync with the actual flash duration. (i. e. , Omen’s Paranoia [Q], Phoenix’s Curveball [Q]). Fixed a bug where the Spike would be invisible and attempting to equip the Spike would fail after changing from Defender to Attacker in a Custom Game and picking up the Spike. Fixed a bug where you were unable to plant the Spike after reconnecting to a match where they died while disconnected. Fixed a bug that, while using the Marshall, prevented full reloading between shots if auto-scoping was enabled.
4) Maps
Lotus
There are several bug fixes for Lotus:
The boost exploits in the back of B Site have been removed. Players can no longer get themselves stuck in the rotating doors (we’re pretty sure anyway, let us know if you find a way—also, you’re all very creative!)Breach can now use abilities on both rotating doors. The destructible door located at A Link now has working vision cones. The Spike can no longer get lost in the back of A Site. Fixed a broken Spike plant spot on A Site.
