Valorant patch 3.02 fixes Sage's Barrier Orb and Raze’s Boombot bugs, volume sliders, more

Riot Games has just released the second minor patch following the Episode 3 update.

Just like the previous one, Valorant patch 3.02 focuses solely on bug fixes and improvements, and the balance team didn't have a role this time around.

That doesn't mean they are not working hard behind the scenes. Riot states that this is the last smaller patch before the big one, as they "continue to evaluate those large Episode 3 changes" and are looking carefully at KAY/O and his general impact on the meta.

In the meantime, Valorant patch 3.02 aims to fix a slew of persistent bugs that have appeared since the release of Episode 3. 

Patch 3.01 was supposed to fix some weird bugs with Sage's Barrier Orb, but it seems that the ability was still causing trouble in some fringe situations.

Raze’s Boombot can no longer be placed through walls (sorry, Raze mains) and KAY/O’s weird bug with textures should be a thing of the past as well.

What's strange with this patch is that it seems that developers didn't tackle Sova's Recon Bolt bug, at least we are not seeing it in patch notes, but it might have been previously fixed with a hot fix.

Check out all the changes below.
