The update reduces vulnerability for Iso after Double Tap, extends Yoru's Gatecrash duration and makes Fakeout clone equip the last weapon. The Outlaw's rapid-fire interval and recoil are increased. A new system penalizes rank manipulation with suspension, demotion, and reward reversal. Discord integration launches globally July 22.","whyItMatters":"The patch introduces a League of Legends-style penalty system for rank manipulation, signaling a stricter enforcement of competitive integrity in VALORANT.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe rank manipulation penalty system in Patch 13.01 is modeled after the one Riot Games already runs in League of Legends. Account suspension, rank demotion, and reversal of rank rewards are now on the table for players caught manipulating competitive matches. On the agent side, Iso\u0026#39;s Double Tap no longer leaves him vulnerable after deactivation, and Yoru\u0026#39;s Fakeout clone now equips the weapon Yoru last held rather than defaulting to his strongest gun. The Outlaw\u0026#39;s rapid-fire performance gets a small nerf: the interval between shots increases from 0.1 to 0.15 seconds, and recoil and spread are added. Discord integration, tested in Brazil, goes global on July 22.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"VALORANT Patch 13.01 is live. Rank manipulation now risks suspension, demotion, and reward reversal.
