Valorant 1.14 Patch tes

S

• Barrier Orb
  • Barrier Orb can’t be placed during Buy Phase
  • Once fortified, Barrier longer loses health over time—Barrier only starts to deteriorate a few seconds before it expires

Map Updates

• Icebox
  • Reduced height of A Belt area and connected it via a ramp to platform below
    • This puts upper A Belt area more in line with rest of verticality in site
    • Acquiring targets up top also requires less vertical movement of crosshair
  • ded a see-through gate here that can’t be passed from ground level
    • Pathing should hopefully be more predictable from attackers approaching site and defenders retaking site
• Sloped wall and replaced double stack of Rianite crates in site with a smaller object
  • This should allow attackers to approach site more safely, and a quicker retake of site for defenders
• Reduced height of yellow container.
  • This allows top of container to be fully cleared from several angles as well as reduces amount of crosshair displacement required when aiming at targets on top of container
