Valorant 2.11 patch notes: Replication returns, performance improvements, bug fixes, more

Valorant Episode 3 is just around the corner and as a part of preparations for the next big chapter, Riot Games is releasing the final patch before the big seasonal update arrives.

Valorant 2.11 patch is a relatively small update, mostly focusing on technical aspects of the game, like performance improvements, bug fixes and some minor quality of life changes.

If you were hoping for some juicy balance changes (like those leaked weapon cost changes), then you will be disappointed as the update does not contain any nerfs or buffs.
