Valorant has rolled out a large new patch that introduces changes to almost every aspect of the game, from competitive play on-down. First, the patch introduces a new agent to the game, Killjoy. A master of tech, Killjoy comes equipped with a turret, an Alarmbot that tracks enemies and makes them more vulnerable to damage, and a trap called "Lockdown" that can potentially disable enemies for up to 8 seconds.

Like previous updates, this patch also takes aim at nerfing Raze's explosive kit. Her Showstopper rocket launcher now takes slightly longer to equip, and her Blast Pack grenade damage has been reduced by a third. However, it now does more consistent damage to objects, making her effective against build-heavy agents like Killjoy.

Additionally, Patch 1.05 marks the end of Valorant's first competitive season, here termed "Acts." Competitive Act II has now begun, meaning that players will have to earn their placement again. However, the new system of Act Ranks will allow you to display your previous rankings as a measure of your "proven skill." The game's matchmaking system will also prioritize party size when it comes to making games, meaning that you're more likely to go up against solo players if you're solo-queueing, and vice versa. It's all a bit complex, so if you're looking to fully grasp the nuances of the game's competitive system, check out that update on the game's site.
