In Valorant there is an exploit on the map Split that allows Killjoy to place her turrets under the map. From there, they cover enemies and shoot at them with no chance for retaliation. Now Riot has finally announced a fix.
What does the exploit do? Thanks to a reliably reproducible exploit, the new agent Killjoy can set her turret on the map Split underneath the card. Then it automatically shoots at enemies, without them being able to do much. The constant damage from the turret annoys and ruins the fun for many players on Split. You constantly lose health and might die if the turret unexpectedly hits you in the back during a fight.
Retaliation was only possible if you could still shoot the submerged turret down at a specific spot by the point “Market” thanks to Wallbanging. And the enemy allowed that without interruption.
Patch 1.06 is supposed to fix everything
This is how the developers react: Since such an exploit clearly destroys the game, the developers at Riot became aware of it. Riot employee Morello announced via Twitter that they would take action. Soon after, another employee announced that the fix would be implemented in the upcoming patch 1.06.
When is Patch 1.06 coming? This update is scheduled for today, August 20, 2020. It will be rolled out throughout the day.
What about other maps and the exploit? Since the exploit worked so well on Split, it raises the question of whether it can also happen on other maps. So far, the exploit has only been confirmed on Split, but it might be possible elsewhere too.
Resourceful players are sure to be looking for a way to reproduce the effect elsewhere. Let’s hope that despite all efforts, it was only possible on Split and that the patch wipes this nuisance out for good.
