Valorant Patch 9.05 Notes: Full Notes
Chamber
Rendezvous: TP radius increased from 13m >>> 18m
Chamber could use a light nudge to fight for more space on maps safely around his Rendezvous. More space around his Rendezvous beacon allows for more setups and allows Chamber to push out more aggressively and take unexpected angles.
Astra
Stars: Increased from 4 >>> 5
After rebalancing some of Astra’s power away from her Gravity Well and into her Nova Pulse and Cosmic Divide in Patch 7.04, Astra has struggled to be competitive with other Controllers. Given Astra has to choose between fulfilling her core duties as a Controller and using her other abilities, this change gives Astra more freedom to use her other pieces of utility without sacrificing her ability to smoke throughout the round.
Stim Behavior
Ares
- Revert crouch benefits nerf from standard 25% back to 40%. Crouching is better again and is now the same as the Odin.
- Headshot multiplier adjusted from 2.4 >>> 2.5. This makes an Ares kill in 2 headshots while within 30m when previously it would have done 144 damage.
