Valorant Patch 4.07: Bug Fixes, Weapon Updates, and More
Riot Games has rolled out a brand new update for Valorant. Patch 4.07 brings with it some new server updates, adjustments to the Bulldog and Stinger, and more.
Keeping big online multiplayers like Valorant running smoothly is a hefty task. As content grows, adjustments need to be made to ensure a decent balance is kept across all weapons and abilities. Alongside that, with growing player bases, new servers are often needed to ensure everyone gets a chance to enjoy the game in their region.
That's what this latest patch has addressed in Valorant. Aside from the usual round of bug fixes, players in Latin America can enjoy a new set of servers to help improve the latency in the region. While these servers won't be live immediately, they should be up and running not long after the rollout of this patch.
Before you drop into your next game, a reminder that although broad awareness on here or other channels can get our attention, the only way for us to take action on in-game disruptive behavior is when official reports are submitted. So, if you see something—report it!
