Astra and Chamber buffs highlight VALORANT patch notes 9.05

As a dedicated VALORANT player with thousands of hours under my belt, I can confidently say that the latest patch notes have me absolutely thrilled! The new map “Breeze” is just what I needed to spice up my Unrated and Swift Play queues. Not only that, but the addition of a Map Cursor Speed slider gives me even more control over my Agent abilities.

For fans of Astra, Chamber, and Ares, there’s much cause for celebration as they’ll find plenty to smile about with the enhancements arriving through the VALORANT update 9.05.

After having significant impacts during their defining periods, Astra and Chamber might once again make a strong appearance in VALORANT, thanks to the updates in patch 9.05. To keep pace with other potent characters, both of them have received some beneficial adjustments.

Alongside of those buffs come the typical bug fixes with a VALORANT update, as well as some optimizations. Let’s go over the full patch notes for VALORANT 9.05, so you know what to expect the next time you load in.

VALORANT patch notes for update 9.05

For the ninth update of VALORANT, the patch details are organized in a familiar format, divided into three categories. You will discover the modifications applicable across all platforms, specific to PC, and tailored for consoles in the following sections.

All Platforms

• AGENT UPDATES
  • Omen
  • 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.
• PLAYER BEHAVIOR UPDATES
• WEAPONS UPDATES
  • 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.
• BUG FIXES
  • Client
    • Fixed an issue where some letters with special characters in Polish, Russian, and Japanese were not returning the correct result when searching using the Search bar in the Spray screen collection page.
  • Maps
    • Abyss
      • Fixed a spot where you could land on a ledge that is out of bounds on the map.
    • Lotus
      • Minor art fixes around the map.
    • Icebox
      • Fixed a gap where you could shoot through the door frame in A Pipes from Mid Boiler.
    • Sunset
      • Fixed a gap in the retractable roof above B Boba.
      • Fixed the box at Mid Top to display the correct bullet penetration decals.
    • The Range
      • Removed a placeholder object in the vista.

  • Optimized threading logic and ordering of files on disk to improve load times. Please note that this will increase download time of the patch and an increase in patch time.
• PLAYER BEHAVIOR UPDATES
• PREMIER UPDATES
  • Added a button to view the maps available in Playoffs. To see the Playoff map pool, click Playoffs Event in the schedule on the Premier hub, and then click the “Show Map Pool” button in the center of the hub.
