Before it further damages VALORANT, this Deadlock bug must be fixed right away

Even though it may not be reasonable to demand perfection from a continuously evolving online multiplayer game, especially for the introduction of new content, players should never look forward to encountering such bugs in ranked matches.

Since new content is released every two months, VALORANT’s list of bugs is only going to get longer, and one of the worst ones is currently afflicting the game’s newest agent. It is challenging for players on the other end because a bug in Deadlock’s sound-sensing traps causes them to activate even after she has died.

Following the June 27 release of Deadlock, several players, including myself, experienced the bug. When it first occurred to me, I was puzzled, and to make matters worse, my team ultimately lost the round. Due to the ambiguous trigger, I tried to reproduce the bug but was unsuccessful.

Before it further damages VALORANT, this Deadlock bug must be fixed right away:

Thankfully, a user by the name of JulyAmCFGDm managed to record the bug in action and post it on Reddit on July 21. As seen in the video, Deadlock was already dead when her trap was set up close to Bind A Site’s default plant with the inactive indicator visible. When Yoru went for the defuse even then, it activated and knocked him out, causing them to lose the round.

Given that all other sentinel traps deactivate following the death of the agent, it is clear that this feature was not intended. The trigger of the bug was revealed later in the thread by another VALORANT player by the name of Dva_main203, and based on how it appears, it’s not practical or useful to reproduce in a game.

Dva main203 asserts that a Sonic Sensor will continue to function for the remainder of the round if Deadlock passes away just before establishing it. Even if you’re playing in a custom match, it would be very difficult for those of you who feel the urge to abuse it to purposefully replicate it in your competitive games.

Additionally, it is completely useless because you will be at a disadvantage. After all, the team’s Deadlock must perish. Unless, for some reason, you would prefer to have a Deadlock with her entire kit and weapons on your team over a Sonic Sensor that has been compromised. However, the bug could still appear at random and result in an unfair result. It was an always-on mechanic, according to a player by the name of TrainBoy45. They said, “I haven’t had a single sonic sensor off-death deactivate yet. Some players, however, were fortunate enough not to experience the bug at all.

Even though it may not be reasonable to demand perfection from a continuously evolving online multiplayer game, especially for the introduction of new content, players should never look forward to encountering such bugs in ranked matches. Nobody is happy to see the bug. As a result of Riot’s carelessness, players even started making fun of VALORANT. Now that the issue has been brought to light, Riot may decide to address it in the upcoming patch 7.02 for the game, which is anticipated to launch the following week.
