It’s pretty usual to come across bugs inside a game that do leave an unintended impact, making it either unachievable or letting you or your opponents have an upper hand while competing. Such kinds of bugs do hinder your chances to achieve a fair play and may result in either one of the sides perishing towards an unexpected outcome. 

Game-breaking bugs are the most common issues in the world of tactical online shooters and Valorant is not an exception. From time and time again, players find new ways to exploit a game to gain a competitive advantage over their opponents. So is the year-old Valorant of Riot games who are yet to fix their shooter game to keep the ball rolling when it comes to fair play. We totally get the fact that the game has hardly been around and it is already swarmed with a plethora of bugs that one can’t withstand to a considerable extent.

Most recently a Youtuber who goes by Valorant Bugs & Glitches had published a list of bugs through a video that surfaced from in-game and are yet to be addressed by Riot. Today we have gathered the opportunity to bring the top 5 bugs and glitches one can find in Valorant. 

A Switch bug while playing KillJoy, Location: Breeze

This is a highly unusual bug where you may not appear to be visible to the opposition, eventually enabling you to shoot from an unknown position. This does resemble the bug which was previously encountered in the Hookah section on Bind where Yoru was often able to teleport inside a structure. 

Mid Chute bug while placing Turret, Location: Breeze

Griefing alert! Location: Breeze

If someone’s playing sage and he/she lands on the A pipes, they may boost themselves with their wall and try to grief by glitching out the Spike as it can’t be retrieved once stuck, as shown in the video. This may possibly open the door to many griefers in the game who may mess up the fair-play integrity. 

Error 404 : Access Denied but wait. Location: Ascent

This bug can straightaway reveal the opponent’s activity if the site has been compromised and you are on to retake it. A player might align by the tetris boxes and place the cypher cam.

Attacker Bridge transpo compromised. Location: Fracture

Any player if he/she aligns themselves just below the center of the vent, facing sideways to the screens and place their cypher camera, they can abuse it to an uncertain extent as it would relay all the information from Attacker side bridge, if someone uses the ropes to traverse onto the end and could be tagged.

You can watch the entire video here if you wish to take a look at all the 40 bugs reported by Youtuber, Valorant Bugs & Glitches.

Riot Games through a State of Agents blog post addressed to the community about their proceedings over the past year including a plethora of agent changes and new additions to the roster of the same. In addition, the developers indeed briefed us on what we can expect in the upcoming year 2022 and what’s really brewing on the agenda towards the forthcoming pro season. 

The past year has indeed been a blast for the Valorant community as we saw Yoru, Astra, KAY/O, and Chamber being added to the pool of agents, who paved their way onto the Valorant Champions event circuit, with Astra being the most played agent across the official events while 2021 saw two new maps getting revealed by VALORANT, Breeze and Fracture. 

Further, in the blog post, Riot talked about the brand new agent, Chamber who is yet to settle down in the game with a much more steady pick rate although there have been players who have actively picked him throughout the course of the game. As told earlier, Astra was the most picked agent, the likes of a controller which we have always dreamt of. The current 3.0 patch had indeed more of a lenient impact on the Agent changes and might turn the tables going forward in 2022, with the Agent balance to be put on a priority in the first six months from the new year. 

Well, It hasn’t been long since Chamber was introduced to the tactical first shooter as a part of the 3.10 patch, but much to our surprise Riot has already teased their next agent rumored to be revealed alongside the next major update. 

While not much is known about the upcoming Valorant Agent 19, she was teased during the opening ceremony for the VCT Champions Finals earlier today. The small clip showed us a silhouette made of strings of numbers and letters, while a woman’s voice, which is presumed to be that of Agent 19, echoes in the background.

The only thing we have been able to decrypt is that the next agent is from the Philippines as the blog post suggests which indeed contains a note for the community, greeted in the Filipino language, “Mga kaibigan ko” which is “My Friends” in English and concludes saying “Maraming salamat!” which means “Thanks a lot!” 

In the teaser further released by Cynprel, she does use her voice lines which say  “hope they like getting hit by lightning.” followed by a warning to “get ready” because she can “go extremely fast”, possibly hinting at her ultimate ability.

The forthcoming agent has been codenamed as the “Sprinter” and we may soon see her being deployed in Episode 4 of Valorant.
