VALORANT Patch 13.01: Outlaw Nerfed and Rank Cheaters Targeted

Major Competitive Cleanup

Riot is finally cracking down on rank manipulation, promising account suspensions and rank resets for boosters. This update also forces the Outlaw to be less of a reliable crutch for bad aimers by adding significant post-shot penalties.

Detailed Tweaks & Features

• Yoru Deception: Gatecrash duration is buffed and his clones now mirror your equipped weapon.
• Discord Link: You can now invite friends to your lobby directly through Discord integration.
• Iso Changes: Equipping weapons after using Double Tap is now instantaneous.

Stat Shifts

• Outlaw Recovery: 0.1s ➔ 🔴 0.15s
• Outlaw Spread: 0 ➔ 🔴 2.25
• Outlaw Recoil: 0 ➔ 🔴 4.0
• Yoru Gatecrash: 15s ➔ 🟢 20s

Numerous agent bug fixes were deployed to stabilize core gameplay loops. The Outlaw finally feels fair, but the rank ban hammer is the real headline.
