Valorant patch 6.10 is finally here and goes live today, 23 May. It brings plenty of changes, with the introduction of some new features, bug fixes, and general changes.
The patch will address some bugs and UI issues. Agents will also receive some new voice lines, and the highly anticipated spray wheel feature will be added. Gunbuddies also received an update. Patch 6.10 doesn't feature any major gameplay or agent change.
So, without further ado, let's find out all the changes coming in the Valorant 6.10 patch.
Valorant Patch 6.10
As mentioned above, patch 6.10 doesn't focus on gameplay changes. Instead, it fixes some bugs, adds new voice lines, and introduces the Spray Wheel feature. The Collections UI also received a rework, while Gunbuddies underwent a small but significant update.
Patch 6.10 fixed many bugs that players were experiencing when using Yoru Fakeout ability. These bugs affected almost exclusively the Yoru player and made Yoru much less entertaining to play. So, it's great the developers' team was quick to fix them.
Brimstone Sky Smoke and Orbital Strike targeting reticles received a size update. The mouse cursor that was displayed in both abilities was also removed.
The major change that patch 6.10 brings is the introduction of the Spray Wheel. This feature allows players to choose from different sprays during the game. The Spray Wheel also has a visible timer that will indicate the cooldowns of different sprays.
Gunbuddies, at least those from the 2.0 Bundles, will now change colours based on the weapons variants. It's a small but significant change since it makes the weapons much more visually appealing.
There are plenty of other changes that patch 6.10 brings us. So, let's check them all out below.

Agent Updates

- We’ve updated Harbor’s in-game portrait for better gameplay readability and quality consistency.
- We’ve updated some Agent portraits to be higher resolution.

Gameplay Systems Updates

Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where Yoru’s Fakeout (C) would min flash you if you were outside of its conal range of effect.
- Fixed issue that was causing a slight delay between sources of concussion hitting you and the actual effects of the debuff being applied.
- Fixed a bug where Yoru’s Fakeout (C) echo would sometimes not have a weapon equipped.
- The weapon that Yoru’s Fakeout (C) echo equips should now use a more accurate weapons skin.´
- Killjoy spent some time in the workshop hammering out bugs that were causing her Turret (E) to aim at the ground. (Fixed in Patch 6.09)
- Fixed a rare issue where you can see ghost enemies when they’ve entered line of sight.
- Fixed an issue where under certain conditions, you can continue to defuse the Spike out of line of sight.
Known Issues
Spray Wheel
- The Spray Wheel can be called in the Range, however, you can’t spray in the Range. We’ve never been able to spray in the Range, so this isn’t a change, but the wheel is sending mixed signals. We’ll fix this in a future patch.
- In Arabic, there’s a slight overlap between the Spray Title and “Pre/Post Round” Informational text on the Spray Screen.
- Zooming in on Sprays in the Collections tab puts the Spray over the Title text instead of behind it like it was in the previous Collections page.
- Spray Wheel instructional text in the Collections tab doesn’t indicate your current keybinds. We’ll fix this in a future iteration.
