The B Arcade attacker barrier is shifted back towards Attacker Side Bridge, to allow defenders to more easily contest the area.Jumping firing error changed from 1.1 > 2.1 (total error is 4.0 when jumping, up from 3.0).2 > 1.3 (total error is 3.2 when running, up from 2.1) 6 (total error is 2.5 when walking, up from 1.95)

So we've reduced the weapon's effective accuracy while jumping, running, and walking, with the intent of narrowing it's ideal use case to only really close ranges. The Classic has been over-performing in close to mid-range encounters when used while jumping or on the move. There are reasons! You can read more about our decision in our map pool update article.Īlong with the new VALORANT Act III Battlepass and Competitive refresh (there's also that new Agent arriving later), we put the Classic through some honing and rearranged some furniture on Fracture.We are temporarily removing Split from the map pool in Unrated and Competitive queues.

Pearl-only queue will be available for 2 weeks, then after that Pearl will enter Competitive.This queue is a standard, Unrated mode that will give players a chance to practice the new map before they see it in Competitive play.Note that over time updates/patches will likely increase the amount of space necessary.Valorant 5.0 complete release notes here.

In total, you will need 9 GB of free space on your hard drive to install and play Valorant. However, the game’s file size will more than double after installation. The total download size for Valorant is just over 4.1 GB. GameRevolution, in an article posted around a month later than the others linked to here, mentions slightly higher numbers: Once you’ve gotten that squared away, you’ll be able to install the rest of the Valorant files onto your PC, which will bring you to a grand total of somewhere between 7-8 GB.ģ.6 GB for an anti-cheat application seems a little steep to me, and other sources indeed mention those 3.6 GB are actually the size of the download, making the 7.3 ('7-8') GB the actual installation size. From there you’ll need to download Riot Vanguard, which is a 3.6 GB anti-cheat system that every player must have before they can play. At first, you’ll simply download the install client which is around 65 MB.
