Fellow agents, Valorant has been rolling out updates that refine the edges of this tactical shooter. From fixing that pesky Battlepass RP glitch to introducing Agent Veto and Replays, these changes make matches feel fairer and more replayable. Let's break down what Riot's been up to and why it matters for your next spike plant.
Battlepass RP Bug Squashed
On October 16, 2025, Riot fixed a bug where players got the wrong amount of Radianite Points in the Battlepass. They've corrected the totals, so if you've been grinding, check your account—you might have extra RP waiting.
This means more resources for upgrading those flashy gun buddies and skins without feeling shortchanged. It's a small win that keeps the progression system trustworthy, letting you focus on climbing ranks instead of tracking discrepancies.
What Does This Fix Change for Players?
Essentially, it restores faith in the economy. No more second-guessing if your hard-earned levels are paying out correctly, which is crucial in a game where every point counts toward customizing your loadout.
Patch Highlights: From 11.06 to 11.08
Patch 11.08, dropped around October 14, 2025, brought gameplay updates that tweak agent abilities and map rotations. Earlier, Patch 11.07b on October 7 addressed minor balances, while 11.07 from September 30 refined core mechanics.
Don't forget Patch 11.06 on September 16—it finally added the Replays feature, letting you review matches to spot mistakes or relive clutch moments. This tool is gold for improving your aim and team plays.
How Do Replays Improve Your Strategy?
Replays let you analyze enemy positions and your own errors frame by frame. For competitive players, it's like having a personal coach, helping you adapt strats for maps like Haven or Bind without relying on third-party tools.
New Agent Veto and More
The New Agent Veto trailer hit on October 5, 2025, teasing abilities that could shake up team comps with new utility options. Pair that with the 'Final Contact - The Path to Paris' event video from October 4, which ties into the lore and might hint at future content.
Also, the Riot Mobile Verification Beta started September 18, adding MFA for better account security. This means fewer hacked accounts disrupting your ranked games.
These additions encourage experimenting with lineups—Veto might become a pick for aggressive pushes, altering how you approach sites.
