VALORANT Patch Notes 12.04

It’s a short one this time, but if you need a TL;DR:

Quality of life updates for Killjoy’s Turret
Updates to the Progression Hub, End of Game, and Career pages
A handful of Agent and Map bug fixes

AGENT UPDATES

BUG FIXES

Killjoy - Nanoswam
Fixed two invisibility bugs triggered by moving quickly through detection range or when Killjoy is suppressed.
Killjoy - Turret
Vision cone no longer disappears from the minimap on right-click.
Jett - Drift
Passive gliding SFX was audible through Astra's Cosmic Divide. Now fixed.
Harbor - Storm Surge
Ability could briefly persist into the next round. Cleaned up.
Fade - Nightfall
Minimap indicator was smaller than the actual ability radius.
Chamber - Trademark
Reactivation SFX was doubling up when Suppress expired.
Skye - Seekers
Observer bug where Seekers wouldn't show on the minimap when Skye was attacker.
Breeze
Collision fixes allowing Vyse's Arc Rose and Cypher's Spycam to be placed on certain walls.
Store
Fixed missing accessories background and Reaver Bandit incorrectly flagged as limited edition.

PERFORMANCE FIX

If you've been stuttering since Patch 12.03, relief is here. Riot deployed a partial hotfix after 12.03 and this patch delivers the full, more robust solution.

What to Expect
If your framerate felt inconsistent during ability-heavy moments, this patch should smooth things out. Run a match after updating and check if issues persist - and if so, try resetting your in-game graphics settings

PC ONLY - UI REVAMP

The post-match experience got a full redesign. The Summary, Progression, and Timeline tabs have new layouts, and after Competitive matches, a dedicated Rank Summary screen now shows exactly how much RR you gained or lost.

The top navigation Battlepass tab is now a Progression Hub - one view for your Battlepass, weekly missions, event passes, and all active progression opportunities.
