All Valorant updates in PBE 6.11

GENERAL UPDATES

"We've cleaned up some of the code related to the trajectory of grenade-like projectiles (such as Sova's Shock Bolt [Q] and Recon Bolt [E], and Brimstone's Incendiary [Q]). There should be no net difference, but if we ended up missing anything, let us know!"

"We’ve upgraded the sound-generation engine in the game. This covers ALL sound except for voice chat and the teaser videos in the Collection. Again, if we’ve done our job right, you should notice nothing different, but please let us know if you see (hear!) anything unexpected"

Error Power

"Error Power (also known as Center Biasing for us) is a tool we utilize to reward accuracy by biasing shots toward the center of the crosshair in Valorant.

We’ve made the adjustment to significantly reduce center biasing while in any movement states besides walking or stationary. As a result, guns will be less accurate when fired while moving as shots will have a higher chance to be further from the center of the crosshair."

BUG FIXES

Sova's cape dynamics were redone and smoothed out, while still maintaining a silhouette close to his body to not give away enemy player position in Valorant.
