VALORANT patch notes 10.11: New Finisher Cam, agent fixes, Premier rewards, and more

To celebrate five years of Valorant, Riot rolled out Patch 10.11 with a mix of small improvements, bug fixes, and new updates across PC and console. It’s not a big patch in terms of content, but there’s a fair number of changes that touch up gameplay visuals, competitive features, and agent stability.

VALORANT patch notes 10.11

Finisher Cam Added

A new feature, Finisher Cam, was introduced in this patch, meant to reduce visual mess during those moments where a weapon finisher is triggered. It works similarly to the Spike Cam, showing a cinematic view of kills with finisher-equipped skins. Riot says this should help players who got light sensitivity issues, and also fix how sometimes the view acted weird during those scenes.

Music Remix and Voice Indicator Adjustments

The career menu now plays a different music—remix of Ego by Qing Madi, which some players may have heard already in the anniversary video. It’s a small touch, but it fits the celebration. Also, the voice chat indicator visuals got adjusted, so it’s easier to tell who’s speaking mid-game.

Agent Fixes

Several agents had bugs that mostly affected how things looked to spectators, teammates, or observers. These fixes were aimed at fixing those issues:

• Fade’s Nightfall visual stayed on screen after she died—now it goes away like it should.
• Tejo had overlapping area names on Guided Salvo and Armageddon maps, due to a shorter range. Riot removed those names for now.
• Reyna‘s Leer targeting didn’t show correctly for teammates or viewers, but that’s working fine now.
• Waylay’s Convergent Paths also had missing targeting visuals for others—this got fixed.
• Clove had a bug where Pick-me-up’s audio didn’t play for everyone. Now it plays right.
• Chamber’s Trademark wasn’t colored properly on the minimap for observers—it now displays the right team color.
• Breach‘s Fault Line VFX didn’t match where it actually hit, depending on charge time, that mismatch is fixed.

Premier Mode Reward Changes (PC Only)

For PC players, Premier mode got a reward upgrade. Winners of V25A3 playoffs now get not just the buddy and title, but also a new animated player card effect. It shows up in loading screens starting Stage V25A4.

To earn these, you gotta stay with your team until the playoffs end and have played at least two Weekly matches or one Playoff match. The buddy and title come within 24 hours of the playoffs ending. The card effect activates at the beginning of the next stage.

Console Get Match Performance Stats

Console users can now see how they did against others with the new Performance View. It’s added to both End-of-Game and Match Details screens, letting players compare performance stats versus each opponent. A helpful addition that wasn’t there before.

Icebox Still Not Back

Icebox continues to be disabled in Deathmatch and Escalation modes. Riot hasn’t said exactly when it’ll return, but it’s staying out for now due to still-unresolved issues.

Patch 10.11 mostly keeps things steady, polishing rough edges and adding a few nice extras, while players mark five years of wins, losses, and plenty of moments in Valorant.
