Additionally, there are a few small changes headed to Brimstone and Omen that could shift their playtime as the patch rolls through. Viper was also mentioned in the patch notes. Even though she didn't receive any changes just yet, Riot did acknowledge that she's underperforming, and will be a target for buffs in the new year. There are even a few changes headed to the Classic's alternate fire, as well as several significant updates to the game's competitive mode. Lastly, there are a handful of bugs that have been addressed in this patch as well. Here's the full list of patch notes for VALORANT Patch 2.0.
