The community has been anticipating version 6.08’s arrival since Riot revealed that Bind would return to the active pool of maps in Valorant. The community is shocked to see that the cherished map has returned earlier than anticipated with version 6.07. Here Are The VALORANT Patch 6.07 Notes.
The patch also included some intriguing adjustments to the queue avoiding penalties and AFK behavior. To further balance the in-game performance of the tactical shooter, certain Agents have also been affected by UI Indicator modifications.

Bug Fixes
Agents
- Projectiles will now reset their blue travel trail when teleporting, removing the line that connects from teleporter to teleporter. This trail is only visible to allies.
Gameplay systems
- Fixed a bug where Agents are able to drop both primary and secondary weapons while planting or defusing the Spike.
- Fixed a bug in the minimap where teleport abilities can reveal an Agent’s out-of-sight minimap location when under packet loss.
- Fixed an issue where some players’ outline/fresnel were displayed even when “Hide Outlines and Fresnel” setting was enabled.
- Fixed a bug (previously fixed in 3.10 but cases of this issue were recently reported) where sometimes outgoing packet send rate was lower than intended for game clients running at > 128 FPS.
- Fixed issues where vision cones of vertical wall-type abilities (Phoenix’s Blaze (C), Viper’s Toxic Screen (E), Harbor’s High Tide (E)) could flicker or distort on the minimap.
Social
- Fixed a bug where the social panel from the in-game options screen was sometimes getting stuck open (for example when you opened the social panel, closed the options screen, then opened the options screen again).
- Fixed a bug where when the in-game language is Arabic and you enter an English word first in a chat message, it would break the right-to-left format standard of text in Arabic.
