An alleged VALORANT bug may have affected an overtime round during GE vs. GENG. The issue involved Fade’s Prowler and Raze’s Boombot apparently passing through a Cypher cage instead of interacting with players inside it.

Reddit user /u/NotThatButThisGuy raised the issue in a post on Reddit. The clip shows a competitive-match moment in which the abilities appear to pass through the cage’s visual boundary without affecting the player within it.

The post describes the behavior as potentially round-altering because utility that fails to reach a player can change how a team clears an area or starts a fight. However, the exact cause and competitive impact have not been independently confirmed, so the clip should be treated as an unverified bug report rather than proof of a wider issue.

The Reddit post includes a gameplay clip of the reported interaction. Riot has not been cited here as confirming the behavior or announcing a fix.
