Valorant 6.11 Patch Notes: Riot Games Nerfs Running and Gunning Again

Valorant just updated its Public Beta Environment server with some balance changes that will be making it to patch 6.11 next week. Viper and Chamber are getting some much-needed balance changes and weapon accuracy is being adjusted for almost the entire weapon lineup. Pearl is also getting some changes but we will have to wait for the patch to release to see them in-game. Here is a rundown of everything new that is coming to Valorant patch 6.11.

Valorant Patch 6.11: Running and gunning changes explained

Error Power (also known as Center Biasing) is a tool Riot Games utilizes to reward accuracy by biasing shots toward the center of the crosshair. The developers have made an adjustment to significantly reduce center biasing while in any movement states besides walking or stationary. As a result, guns will be less accurate when fired while moving as shots will have a higher chance to be further from the center of the crosshair.
