Valorant patch notes – update 6.10 fixes frustrating Yoru Fakeout

The latest Valorant patch notes for update 6.10 are a savior for Yoru mains, particularly if you lean hard on the duelist’s Fakeout ability – or you’re sick of getting that massive flash in your eyes every time it ends. There are also several bug fixes for Valorant characters, plus some new portraits, additional dialogue for Reyna, and a complete overhaul for the Valorant spray system. Brimstone’s had a slight tweak as well, as the Riot FPS game heads into its latest version.

Let’s start with Yoru. While he’s never been top of the Valorant tier list, his Fakeout ability is pretty useful in clutch situations, since it creates an instant body double that can draw your aim, and which explodes into a disorientating flash once it expires.

The other issue is that the flashbang effect from Yoru’s expired double would sometimes hit you even if you were out of range. In combination, this meant Fakeout was both underpowered and overpowered at the same time.

Update 6.10 fixes both these issues, as well a minor gripe whereby the Yoru decoy would have a different weapon skin to the Yoru actual. But there’s more, as Riot introduces sweeping changes to the spray system.

The new ‘Spray Wheel’ makes selecting and using your sprays a lot quicker and more intuitive, and the ‘Spray Carousel’ supplies an easier-to-navigate grid that can be searched and sorted at will. You activate the Spray Wheel by holding down your spray keybind. However, you can still instantly access your favored quick spray simply by tapping
