New piece of cover in Attacker spawn added to break the long sightline from Hall entrance to B Main, which should relieve some pressure from attackers when defenders fast flank.

A Hall orb shifted into more neutral space, making it less favorable for attackers.

Defender barrier at A Rope moved up to the top of ropes to make it easier for Sentinels to prepare.

The B Arcade attacker barrier is shifted back towards Attacker Side Bridge, to allow defenders to more easily contest the area.Jumping firing error changed from 1.1 > 2.1 (total error is 4.0 when jumping, up from 3.0).2 > 1.3 (total error is 3.2 when running, up from 2.1) 6 (total error is 2.5 when walking, up from 1.95) So we've reduced the weapon's effective accuracy while jumping, running, and walking, with the intent of narrowing it's ideal use case to only really close ranges. The Classic has been over-performing in close to mid-range encounters when used while jumping or on the move. There are reasons! You can read more about our decision in our map pool update article.Īlong with the new VALORANT Act III Battlepass and Competitive refresh (there's also that new Agent arriving later), we put the Classic through some honing and rearranged some furniture on Fracture.We are temporarily removing Split from the map pool in Unrated and Competitive queues.
