Valorant has initiated an essential update with patch 10.02, which primarily focuses on addressing a series of bugs affecting various agents and the shield regeneration system. This patch arrives at a pivotal moment as the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) Masters in Bangkok approaches, signaling the start of the 2025 esports season.
While the update may not introduce groundbreaking new features, its timely bug fixes are crucial for a smoother gaming experience. Notably, one significant issue involved the newly introduced Regen Shields, which erroneously left players with minimal health instead of being eliminated. Fortunately, developers have effectively resolved this concern.
