This patch brings some changes to one of Valorant’s most awkward guns, and makes surrendering an Unrated match just a little easier.

The biggest gameplay change of this patch comes to the Guardian, a gun that didn’t quite have a place in Valorant.

However, with this patch the Guardian is getting a price reduction to 2,500 Creds, making it a slightly more affordable option.

This patch also updates Valorant’s surrender option to be a little more forgiving in non-competitive matches.

Now teams in Unrated Mode only need an 80% vote to agree to surrender, rather than the 100% they needed before.

Another slight change to the surrender system in this patch allows players to start the surrender vote at round 5, rather than having to wait until round 8.

We’ve also slightly reduced the minimum rounds needed to be played so that if players have a particularly bad start, they can opt out of that match earlier
