Valorant's latest patch, version 6.08, brings a plethora of new updates and changes to the game. The popular map Bind has made a comeback in Unrated and Competitive modes, while Icebox has been removed. Players are happy that Riot Games decided to bring back Bind map, as it is the favourite one for most of the gamers!
The audio of the character Gekko has been improved and Killjoy's abilities have been updated. Additionally, a cosmetic update has been made to certain skinlines of the Shorty, including the default one.
