Valorant, has received its latest update with patch 6.05. This update brings several bug fixes, performance improvements, and updates for the newest agent, Gekko, among other things.

One of the most significant updates in patch 6.05 is the fixes and improvements made to Gekko, the latest agent introduced in the game. Some notable changes include more forgiving targeting for Wingman’s plant and defuse abilities and better audio and visual effects for some of Gekko’s powers. There are also improvements in the performance of the agent selection screen.

Apart from the agent updates, patch 6.05 also includes several performance updates, including the addition of a new metric called “CPU Wait GPU Time” that allows players to track when their machines are Render Thread bound. The update also includes bug fixes related to crosshairs, damage-over-time area abilities, and memory performance metrics.

The patch also addresses bugs related to gameplay systems, social features, and Gekko, the latest agent. Some notable fixes include animation issues, display name inconsistencies, and issues related to friend requests and notifications.
