Valorant patch 6.02 official notes: Server rewind limit down to 140 ms from 200 ms, Voice Evaluation Beta, and more

Valorant patch 6.02 will go live in just some time and Riot Games will be deploying this update to address some of the performance issues in the game.

Multiple bug fixes to Agents, Maps, and weapons will be one of the biggest highlights of the patch, along with the introduction of the Voice Evaluation Beta. It is a part of Riot’s previously proposed RVE, which will work to enhance its behavioral reports data collection capabilities and improve the impact of comms-related behavioral interventions.

Moreover, the server rewind limit will be adjusted to 140ms from 200 ms, and as a result, playing against those with a higher ping will lead to a better experience.

Valorant fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s official website. However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.

Valorant patch 6.02 official notes

1) Adjusted max server rewind limit down to 140 ms from 200 ms.

Players in games where everyone’s ping is low shouldn’t even notice this change. In other cases, the impact from this alteration will be subtle and most will not notice the difference.

• Playing against players with high ping should feel less like getting shot after moving behind cover by a bullet fired earlier
• Players playing with high ping may start to experience hit registration inaccuracy

2) Social updates

• Voice Evaluation Beta (North America/English-only)

Last year Riot Games began a background launch of the Riot Voice Evaluation (RVE) in North America. It will now move into a limited beta phase that will enhance their behavioral reports data collection capabilities and improve the impact of comms-related interventions.
