VALORANT Patch Notes 6.01

Hello! Jo-Ellen here. Patch Notes 6.01 is a short one and it's focused on Lotus (including bug fixes that you helped point out).

Also, how are you liking Lotus so far?

MAP UPDATES

Lotus

• The volume for the rotating doors has been reduced while rotating. Please let us know what you think.
• The Lotus-only queue has been removed.
• Lotus will now be included in the map rotation for Unrated and Competitive.

MODES UPDATES

Replication

Replication has been removed from Modes queue.

• Although we are shelving Replication temporarily, it is still available via the custom game option.

BUG FIXES

Agents

• Killjoy’s Nanoswarm (C) will no longer deal more damage to destructible objects than intended.

Gameplay Systems

• Fixed a bug where occasionally the third-person flashed visual indicator on an Agent’s head wasn’t in sync with the actual flash duration. (i.e. Omen’s Paranoia [Q], Phoenix’s Curveball [Q]).
• Fixed a bug where the Spike would be invisible and attempting to equip the Spike would fail after changing from Defender to Attacker in a Custom Game and picking up the Spike.
• Fixed a bug where you were unable to plant the Spike after reconnecting to a match where you died while disconnected.
• Fixed a bug that, while using the Marshall, prevented full reloading between shots if auto-scoping is enabled. Thanks for all the reports on this!

Maps

• Lotus
  • There are several bug fixes for Lotus. Thanks to everyone who reported issues! Here are a few highlights:
    • Boost exploit in the back of B Site has been removed.
    • You can no longer get yourself stuck in the rotating doors (we're pretty sure anyway, let us know if you find a way—also, you’re all very creative!)
    • Breach can now use abilities on both rotating doors.
    • The destructible door located at A Link now has working vision cones.
    • The Spike can no longer get lost in the back of A Site.
    • Fixed a broken Spike plant spot on A Site.
