The Valorant 8.03 patch notes have been revealed! Valorant Patch 8.03 was supposed to go live quite some time ago, but because of several reasons, it ended up being postponed.
This patch will introduce significant buffs to Chamber along with several bug fixes and performance updates. A new Esports Store will also go live, giving players the chance to support their favourite teams with VCT Team Capsules.
So let's find out everything about the upcoming Valorant Patch 8.03
Valorant Patch 8.03 expected release date
We expect Patch 8.03 to arrive at Valorant on Wednesday, 21 February at around 10am PT/6 pm GMT, according to the Valorant Wiki patch notes page. Patch 8.03 launch time can vary depending on your region and timezone so be aware of that.
As mentioned above, this patch will introduce some Chamber buffs and slight gameplay changes, so let's take a look at that.
Chamber receives buffs and new Esports Store launches
Chamber will receive two massive buffs in Patch 8.03, that can potentially bring him back to his former glory.
The Headhunter price will decrease from 150 to 100 credits, while the Tour De Force firing rate will increase from 0.7 seconds to 0.9 seconds. These changes will help Chamber easily lock down bombsites by himself on the defensive side, and make his ultimate even stronger.
Players can now support their favourite teams with the newly introduced VCT Team Capsules, which you can access through a new Esports Store tab. Each capsule includes a Classic, Gun Buddy, Player Card, and Spray. Notably, Teams will earn 50% of profits from their respective Capsules.
