Riot Games, developers of VALORANT released the VALORANT Episode 3 patch notes for the game. VALORANT 3.0 patch notes suggest that every agent’s abilities have been tweaked a little. It also comes with the adjustment in the accuracy of weapons. This update’s main focus has been on two components of the game: increasing the importance of gunplay and expansion of Tactical sandbox.

Max Grossman and Sal Garozzo, Co-Lead Designers at Riot Games, says “Game-spanning changes like these can be painful as we are asking you all to relearn many things that you’re now comfortable with. There will be times when you are forced to make harder choices about what you bring into battle each round or forced to engage with an opponent differently—but just know that your enemies are facing the same challenges.”
