Valorant update 2.07 patch notes: Astra buff, Raze & Viper changes

Valorant patch 2.07 is finally here! With a buff to Astra’s Gravity Well being buffed and some changes to Raze and Viper, there are a few interesting changes to Riot’s FPS hit.

After the last big update in 2.06, Riot are toning it back for Valorant patch 2.07. Yoru and Viper have landed on their feet somewhat, and now the devs focus is turning towards new release Astra, as well as the upcoming Episode 2: Act 3.

The Ghanian spacetime manipulator sees her Gravity Well buffed, as it can now pull in defusing enemies. Viper and Raze also see some minor changes to their gameplay.

A slew of bugs have been fixed as well, coupled with some further adjustments to quality of life and competitive issues. You can check out the full patch notes from Riot below.

Valorant Patch 2.07: Full Patch Notes

Agent Updates

Astra

Gravity Well

• Now pulls Agents that are defusing the Spike
• If they are pulled out of defuse range, the defuse will be interrupted

Raze

• Audio cues added to indicate when she’s boosted in the air from Blast Pack
• Explosion and Showstopper launching VFX updated so they are less obscuring and clear out of the play space faster

Viper

• Fixed a bug when calculating if damage taken while decayed should be lethal for players with armor.
  • Most notably, this was causing Marshal shots when the target was decayed 50 to reduce the enemy to 1 HP instead of killing them.

Quality of Life

• Improved feel of ping wheel selection tool; this should now feel more predictable to use
• Cypher Tripwires now display to Observers with associated team color
