Patch 5.06 Changelog for VALORANT
Riot Games has released the patch notes for VALORANT 5.06. Immediately after the end of VALORANT Champions 2022, the developers decided to release a fresh update, which affected weapons, maps, and improvements to key features.
Changes for Stinger
- Dispersion in primary fire mode reduced from 1.6 after 7 bullets to 1.3 after 6 bullets
- Decreased spread on first shot in alternate fire from 0.5 to 0.35
Changes to the Pearl map

- Exit to site B - The height of the wall to the left of the exit to site B has been reduced. Now you can't hide behind it
- Shops Mid - fighting here turned out to be more difficult than intended, so the developers extended the platform
- The path along the mid from the shops to the square - the corner near the square was closed
- Pinnacle Mid - Hidden area where players could hide
- Painting A - reworked area and removed some cover
- Aisle B - crates that are closer to point B have been moved to the left side
- Exit A - recesses in the wall have been removed
- Path from exit A to point A - the passageway has been significantly reduced, and the size of the nook on the right has also been changed
Social Opportunity Changes
- Added a new "Inappropriate Behavior Indicator" feature. From now on, the end-of-match screen will display information about which players behaved badly. It is available in the following modes: Unrated games, Ranked games, "Quick Spike" and "Replication"
Other fixes
- Fixed a bug due to which incorrect information about hitting enemies was sometimes displayed when using the KAY/O "EPI/center" skill
- Fixed a bug due to which the disabling of chat at decisive moments continued to work after the end of the match
- Fixed an issue that resulted in players being unable to reply to a private message by clicking on the sender's Riot ID
- Fixed an issue where right-clicking the Friend Notes text field would close the social panel
- Fixed an issue where pending invites would not disappear after all friends left the group
- Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect system message to be sent when players accepted a friend request via the Match tab in the game
