Riot Games has released patch notes for update 4.07 heading to the multiplayer first-person shooter, Valorant. The popular online game was first released in June 2020 as free-to-play and has since gained a large following. The new update has brought several updates and changes to the game including bug fixes, improved load times, and a reduction in the power of burst-fire weapons. Update 4.07 doesn’t affect the weapons’ damage but players will no longer be able to use the quick-burst mechanic that has become so popular among players.
Check out the full patch notes for Valorant below!
