The major adjustment in Valorant patch 8.07 concerns Omen, the controller agent. Now, Omen can pick up the Spike and interact with other objects, such as doors, while utilising the ultimate ability without needing to cancel it.
Even though Clove was introduced in patch 8.05 , they were temporarily disabled in professional Valorant due to various bugs affecting their abilities. However, with this update from Riot, these issues have been addressed, allowing players to freely select the sixth Controller in Competitive matches and VCT Leagues.
Valorant Update 8.07 Patch Notes Breakdown
Omen Updates:
Omen has received a notable buff in Valorant patch 8.07, enabling the Agent to interact more with the environment, such as doors, while using his Ultimate ability without the need to cancel it.
Omen is now able to pick up the Spike and interact with other useables like doors while in the Shade form of From the Shadows (X) without having to cancel the ability. Our goal is to make these interactions more intuitive and clearly intended.
General Gameplay Updates:
- Interaction prompts have received an accessibility update, adding contrast to make them easier to read in-game.
- Prompt text has been simplified, and weapon prompts no longer show skinline names.
- Fixed a bug where fractional damage would represent the total damage taken incorrectly on the HUD. This bug resulted in issues like close-range Classic body shots on armoured targets appearing to deal 25 instead of 26 damage and Clove appearing to heal to 151 health with Pick-Me-Up (C) in some circumstances.
- Fixed an issue where the Radio Commands Menu being bound to number keys caused a conflict when trying to activate commands.
- Fixed a bug where your status displayed in the roster list was sometimes too small to read.
- Fixed a bug where ties on the standings were not broken correctly.
Chamber:
- Fixed an exploit where Chamber could place Trademark (C) in unintended locations.
Clove:
Numerous bugs associated with Clove have been addressed, encompassing all of their abilities, like Not Dead Yet, Ruse, Meddle, and Pick-Me-Up. Additionally, audio bugs for specific weapons and skins such as Glitchpop, Prime, Cryostatis, and others have been resolved.
- Speculated a fix for an issue where Clove’s corpse would stand upright after death.
- We resolved a bug where Clove’s "Not Dead Yet" ability did not count towards the "Use Your Ultimate" weekly mission, and Match Details showed 0 casts.
- Fixed a bug where Clove's "Ruse" ability used after death wasn't reported in Match Details.
- Corrected an issue where damage to Clove’s temporary health from "Pick-Me-Up" didn’t appear in the Combat Report.
- Addressed a bug where Clove's aim direction changed abruptly when suppressed during "Not Dead Yet.".
- Fixed instances where Clove would resurrect without their primary weapon when using "Not Dead Yet.".
- Rectified hitbox offset bugs for Clove's head and arm when aiming sharply up or down with "Ruse" equipped.
- Ensured correct ability icon usage for Clove’s "Meddle" in the Combat Report.
- Speculated a fix for Clove’s "Pick-Me-Up" HUD sometimes displaying >150 total health values when taking fall damage.
- Resolved flickering vision issues when moving through the edges of Clove’s smoke.
- Fixed instances where dead allies or observers spectating Clove would skip the death camera ceremony.
- Corrected a rare occurrence where Clove’s "Meddle" could cause a client-side hitch.
Cosmetic Issues Resolved
Riot Games received reports of audio issues with several guns and skins, such as the Standard/Default Phantom, Oni Phantom, Recon Phantom, etc. However, upon investigation, they confirmed that these are functioning correctly.
If you notice that these guns or any other first-person audio sounds different on headphones after patch 8.05, it may be due to your speaker configuration in the VALORANT audio settings.
Audio Issues Resolved
This issue could arise if your USB headphones are recognised by Windows as a surround sound device with multiple channels and you have selected Auto-Detect in the VALORANT audio settings.
If you are using headphones, have Auto-Detect enabled, and Spatial Audio is not enabled, your speaker configuration should appear as 2.0. If you see any other number of channels, you can resolve this by either setting your VALORANT speaker configuration back to Stereo or enabling Spatial Audio in Windows.
Display Issues Resolved
fixed a bug where fractional damage would represent the total damage taken incorrectly on the HUD. This bug resulted in issues like close-range Classic body shots on armoured targets appearing to deal 25 instead of 26 damage and Clove appearing to heal to 151 health with Pick-Me-Up (C) in some circumstances.
All issues with these skins are also resolved.
- Glitchpop Classic
- Prime Classic
- Cryostasis Classic
- Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster (G.U.N) Classic
- Spectrum Classic
- Elderflame OperatorIon Sheriff
Riot games made some much-needed changes with this patch but they were definitely thorough with it. On top of that, the changes made to Omen and the bug fixes for Clove were long overdue.
