VALORANTPatch notes 13.10
VALORANT patch 13.10 is live
VALORANT patch 13.10 (Riot, 10 November) gives Cypher's Spycam, Killjoy's Turret and Vyse's Arc Rose a shorter 45-second cooldown after being destroyed, sharpens Sage's Healing Orb targeting and finally documents the new assist rules that feed your Performance Score. Replays get bookmarks and Gauntlet: Glitched gets 5-stacks and new upgrades — no RR, MMR or map-pool changes.
- Sentinels: Spycam, Turret and Arc Rose return 45 s after being destroyed (was 60 s); Cypher's reclaim cooldown rises to 20 s (was 15 s).
- Sage: better ally targeting on Healing Orb and a visible crosshair while aiming it.
- Assists (live since 13.08, documented now): 10+ damage within 3 s of a teammate's kill, or 50+ damage at any time; heal assists only if the healed ally kills within 10 s.
- Replay bookmarks on PC and console — set the PC keybind yourself, it starts blank.
- Gauntlet: Glitched: parties of up to 5, new upgrades for Hush, Cypher, Veto and Waylay, a new Hush ultimate and a balance pass.
- Bug fixes for Hush's Suspension, Vyse's Steel Garden, Sage healing without line of sight, and utility clipping on seven maps.
What changed Patch 13.10 is a small one for ranked. The headline is a Sentinel tweak: Cypher's Spycam, Killjoy's Turret and Vyse's Arc Rose now come back 45 seconds after being destroyed instead of 60. Cypher pays for it with a slower reclaim (20 s, up from 15 s), in line with other Sentinels. Sage's Healing Orb gets better ally targeting and now shows a crosshair, so fewer heals land on the wrong teammate.
Assists finally explained Riot admits the assist rules changed back in 13.08 without being written down. Damage assists now come from more than 10 damage within 3 seconds of a teammate's kill, or 50+ damage at any time. Healing assists only count if the healed player gets a kill within 10 seconds after the heal ends. Assists feed the Performance Score, so trading and quick follow-up damage now show up more clearly on your match card.
Replays and Gauntlet - Replay bookmarks: mark moments in a match and jump to them in Replays (PC keybind is blank by default — set it under Settings → Controls → Interface). - Gauntlet: Glitched allows 5-stacks, adds new upgrades for Hush, Cypher, Veto and Waylay, two returning "bug" glitches and a new Hush ultimate, plus a long balance pass.
What it means for your rank Expect Cypher, Killjoy and Vyse setups to come back sooner in a round, so breaking Sentinel utility buys a little less time than before — plan executes around that 45-second window. Sage players get more reliable heals in fights. Nothing changes to RR, MMR, queues or the map pool in these notes. Several map fixes stop utility clipping through walls or hiding behind small props on Ascent, Breeze, Corrode, Haven, Split, Summit and Sunset.
