VALORANT 1.11 Patch Notes Bring Large Changes To Killjoy And Nerfs To Cypher
VALORANT's Patch 1.11 is a big one, and not only brings us new Agent Skye, but also the introduction of Icebox into the competitive map pool. Significant changes to Killjoy, nerfs to Cypher, and even a buff to Breach's Flash have been introduced. Left-handed models are also finally here. Last but not least, the Economy Ruleset has changed as well, giving some punishment to those opting to save their weapons after a round has been lost. Here's a selection of the most important changes.
Changes to Agents
Breach
Flash - Full flash time increased from 1.75 >>> 2
Cypher
Trapwire - Disabled and revealed upon death
Spy Camera - Disabled and revealed upon death
Killjoy
Deactivation Range - Alarmbot and Turret now deactivate if she is more than 40m away from them—reentering the 40m range reactivates her little friends.
Turret - Cooldown after pickup reduced from 20 seconds >>> 10 seconds
Alarmbot - Range at which Alarmbot can be detected decreased from 9m >>> 7m; Cooldown after pickup reduced from 20 seconds >>> 7 seconds
Nanoswarm - Range at which Nanoswarm can be detected decreased from 5m >>> 3.5m; Damage increased from 40/s >>> 45/s; Damage now ticks smoother and faster while in Nanoswarm, instead of in chunks of 10 every ¼ of a second
Economy Ruleset changes
- Attackers who lose but survive the entire round without planting the Spike receive a reduced number of credits (1,000)
- Defenders who lose but survive the entire round after the Spike has detonated also receive reduced credits (1,000)
- Dying to the Spike will no longer count as a death in KDA statistics
- Additional economic information added as a tooltip when hovering over the exclamation mark next to “Min Next Round” in the shop
UI / Quality of Life Changes
A left-handed view model is now available for players. Players can swap their first-person view-model to lefthanded by going to the settings menu and swapping their view model to “Left-Handed”. Changing this will also show all other players as left-handed when spectating.
