Another small patch for VALORANT has been deployed, with patch 10.03 giving the minimap a visual upgrade and updating the effect of slow abilities. The smaller patch size is due to the soon-to-start Masters Bangkok event, and the patch will deploy a day later than usual due to a Riot holiday.
Full VALORANT 10.03 Patch Notes
The slowing abilities of Chamber, Skye, and Harbor will now slow dash abilities. Dash abilities include Jett’s Tailwind and Neon’s Slide. Previously, agents like Jett and Neon could dash at full speed even if they were caught by a slow, but now slowing abilities will slow a dash by 50 percent. These abilities now all slow dashes:
- Chamber’s Trademark
- Skye’s Trailblazer
- Harbor’s Cascade and High Tide
- Concussive abilities:
- Astra’s Nova Pulse
- Breach’s Fault Line and Rolling Thunder
- Cypher’s Trapwire
- Deadlock’s Sonic Sensor
- Gekko’s Wingman
- Harbor’s Reckoning
- Neon’s Relay Bolt
- Tejo’s Special Delivery
The minimap visuals have been updated, providing “increased gameplay clarity and fidelity.” The minimap now uses shading to clearly show elevated spots across the whole map, as well as ziplines.
VALORANT Patch 10.03 Bug Fixes
- Fixed issues where explosive damaging utility could kill sentinel trap abilities like Vyse’s Arc Rose from vastly outside its intended radius.

- You can use the friends list search field to filter your friends list by player name or tag.
- When you have more than four party invites, the friends list will now hide them so you can still see your friends. You can click ‘Show More’ to display any hidden invites.
