Valorant is a free-to-play first-person tactical hero shooter game developed and published by Riot Games in 2020. The game is supported by the dev with constant updates, and I received a new one a while ago. The patch notes of the Valorant 10.01 update are below.
Valorant Update 10.01 Patch Notes
Hey folks! It’s Ash and I’m excited to be back at it again for another stellar year of VALORANT. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to hit Immortal for the first time…let’s see how that goes. What’s yours?
Patch 10.01 is short but very sweet. Rank Shields have been added to Competitive Mode so when you’re in Tier 1 at 0 RR, you have 3 chances to win before dropping to the next rank below. There are also lots of bug fixes for our newest agent, Tejo.
ALL PLATFORMS
COMPETITIVE UPDATES
- Rank Shields have been added to Competitive Mode!
- You are granted two Rank Shields while in Tier 1 (e.g. Silver 1, Gold 1, Platinum 1) of all Ranks except Radiant.
- When you lose a game at 0 RR, one shield is consumed, leaving you with one shield remaining.
- Losing again at 0 RR consumes the second shield, leaving you with zero shields remaining.
- If you lose three games while at 0 RR, you demote to the lower rank (e.g. Gold 1 to Silver 3).
- You do not have shields in the other tiers of a Rank (e.g. There are no shields when losing at 0 RR in Gold 2).
- Only when you move into Tier 1 via promotion or demotion, will you replenish two shields for that tier.
- Winning at 0 RR and going back to 10 RR will not replenish your shields.
- You are granted two Rank Shields while in Tier 1 (e.g. Silver 1, Gold 1, Platinum 1) of all Ranks except Radiant.
- You can see all information about Rank Shields in the Rank Details screen in the client!
