Alongside these notable changes, the patch includes a host of bug fixes applicable to both console and PC versions.

VALORANT Patch 10.03 Updates to All Platforms
Agent Modifications
- Adjustments have been made to ensure that all slow effects impact dashes uniformly across all Agents. This adjustment aligns the behavior with past updates from versions 9.10 and 9.11 relating to Vyse and Concuss effects. Consequently, Agents such as Chamber, Skye, and Harbor now experience adjusted slow effects.
Gameplay Enhancements
- The minimap has undergone a visual revamp to improve clarity and precision, prominently demonstrating changes on maps like Icebox. This update enhances the gameplay experience by offering clearer location indicators and graphical fidelity.
Resolved Issues
- An issue was addressed where explosive damage could affect Sentinel traps, like Vyse’s Arc Rose, from an unintended distance. This problem led to the temporary disabling of new explosive damage functionality in earlier updates 10.01 and 10.02. Riot Games is keeping a close eye on this to determine if further changes are necessary.
- Another fix targeted a problem with the buy menu that could not be accessed while the remake vote screen was visible. The voting interface now features color-coded buttons for better user operation: green for accepting and red for declining. This ensures players can make swift and accurate decisions during gameplay.
Console-Exclusive Enhancements
Social Features
Console players will notice improved social interactions. They can now add or edit notes on their friends, as well as use a new search function to filter friends by name or tag. The system will now conceal additional party invites if there are more than four, with a „Show More“ option to unveil them.
Issue Resolutions
Two main issues have been addressed. First, matches ending in Remakes within the Competitive queue now show the correct end-of-game screen. Additionally, a problem where multiple players were highlighted on the Leaderboard has been fixed for a smoother experience.
PC Exclusive Modifications
- Corrections Implemented:
- Resolved a problem in Premier mode where the match scores on the tournament bracket screen sometimes appeared in black.
- Display Adjustment: Premier tournament brackets are now properly centered on ultrawide monitors.
