Valorant Patch 6.08 details :

Gekko

Wingman

  • The audio cues for Wingman’s spike and defuse sound were unclear during hectic combat situations. This should help make those audio cues standout.

  • We’ve updated Gekko’s in-game portrait for better gameplay readability and quality consistency.

Killjoy

Nanoswarm (C)

  • Nanoswarm audio has been updated.
  • Nanoswarm reveal radius increased 350 >> 525
  • Improved feedback for the enemy when they destroy Nanoswarm.
  • Nanoswarm is now revealed when it is disabled.
  • Audio loop now also turns off when disabled as a result of Killjoy being killed or suppressed.

Other Abilities

  • Removed the yellow warning UI Indicator for enemy Killjoy’s Lockdown (X).
  • Updated visuals for Killjoy’s ultimate Lockdown (X) being destroyed.
  • Updated deactivate sounds for Killjoy’s Turret (E) and Alarmbot (Q) to make them more distinct.

Misc.

Map Updates

  • The newly updated Bind rotates into Competitive and Unrated queues.
