After having fixed the Omen Ultimate on Icebox bug, the developers now have two new bugs being exploited in Valorant to deal with. The Killjoy Turret Exploit and the Game Breaking Out of Bounds Sova Drone.
The Sova Drone bug exploit in Valorant
According to Redditor u/Vehementtoast, the present bug can be used on Haven Bind and Ascent while the use of the exploit on Split or Icebox remains unconfirmed.
As can be seen in the clip, to exploit the bug:
The player who has picked Sova as their agent for the game needs to be standing directly next to the wall while lining up their right shoulder to a corner while having the drone equipped. Next, the player needs to fire/throw the drone into the wall. As weird as it may sound, throwing the drone into the wall allows the drone to look through the walls for enemies.
Riot Games, however, have been quick to follow up on the issues. With a hotfix update already scheduled for this week, one of Riot Games’ employees, u/rycoux, responded to the bug exploit video on Reddit.
According to u/Vehementtoast, the classification of the bug exploit in Valorant is as follows:
This isn’t the first time for the developers facing a bug exploit like this, especially after the release of Valorant 1.10 patch, which brought the bug exploit of Omen’s Ultimate in the newly introduced map Icebox.
Much like Sova’s Drone bug, Omen’s Ultimate allowed players to teleport inside walls and shoot at enemies while staying hidden inside the walls. However, the Omen bug on Icebox had been fixed by the developers soon after its discovery.
Despite Riot Games’ affirmations of a hotfix coming in for the bug exploits, it remains to be seen if Valorant is greeted with more bugs in the coming weeks. The developers look to finetune the game before the first Riot Games sponsored esports tournament for Valorant, First Strike.
