Version 13.09 is coming to Valorant to kick-start a brand new act: Season 2026 Act 6. As always, the patch notes will be released when the update's rollout begins. However, a few leaks have already revealed some of the changes coming to the game.
While we wait for the full notes to go live, here is all the information we have so far about the upcoming update.
When Does Valorant Patch 13.09 Come Out?
Patch 13.09 of Valorant is scheduled to come out on Tuesday, October 27, or Wednesday, October 28, depending on your region.
The update's rollout will begin on Tuesday at 9:00 AM PT for North America, LATAM, and Brazil servers. European players will need to wait a bit longer, as the rollout starts on Wednesday at 4:00 AM BST for the region.
What Do We Know About the 13.09 Patch Notes?
Although we still don't have the patch notes for version 13.09, a few leaks have arisen in the past hours detailing the changes coming to Valorant.
Aside from adding a new agent, the update is set to make changes to Clove. According to leaker Valohabercisi, the speed boost from Clove's Pick-Me-Up ability (C) will be reduced from 15% to 10%.
Killing a Clove player after they cast their ultimate will grant an ultimate point and a refresh point for their signature ability. On top of that, if Cloves uses their ult, they cannot get ultimate points during that round.
The Warden will also get adjusted, with the recoil on the first four shots now reduced. Here is how the recoil will be after the update:
- 1st shot: 0.6 → 0.45
- 2nd shot: 1.5 → 0.9
- 3rd shot: 2.5 → 1.8
- 4th shot: 3.75 → 3.2
Once the full patch notes are released, we will update this article to add the remaining details to keep you up to date.
