Valorant Patch 8.03 - Complete Details
Agent Updates
Breach
Breach’s voice lines have been updated, providing him more interaction lines with Deadlock, Gekko, and Harbor.
Chamber
Chamber has been provided a decent buff as Valorant focuses on sharpening the Sentinel role.
Headhunter (Q)
The price has been decreased from 150 to 100.
Tour De Force (X)
The firing rate has been increased from 0.7 to 0.9.
These changes are aimed at providing players with more access to the Headhunter (Q) as a save or sidearm without draining their economy, and increase the clear strength of Chamber’s ultimate compared to the Operator.

Teams will be earning 50% of total profits from their respective VCT Team Capsules.
Each bundle will contain a Classic Skin, Gun Buddy, Player Card, and Spray.

Gameplay Systems
