Valorant patch 4.08 release date"},"content":{"rendered":"

After years of dominating the meta at low and high ranks, becoming a staple of competitive Valorant<\/a>, Jett is due for massive nerfs, with Riot finally addressing the slippery duelist. <\/p>\n

The devs decided to give a heads up to Valorant’s fanbase ahead of the 4.08 patch<\/a>, as it included some game-defining balance tweaks to the iconic Korean duelist. <\/p>\n

Aimed at making her more susceptible to being punished by peeking angles with an Operator, forcing her to use her Tailwind ability or lose it without triggering it all. <\/p>\n

Peeking with no way to punish Agents holding site has been a common theme with Valorant. Oftentimes, opponents are forced to burn resources, primarily smokes just on the fact that a Jett could be holding certain angles.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of Chamber, an Agent that’s capable of taking aggressive duels and getting out as safely, if not more than Jett, this issue has aggravated even more in Valorant.<\/p>\n

Now that Jett’s playstyle is set for a big rework fans are wondering how long will they have to wait to see how this new version of Valorant’s defining Agent in action.<\/p>\n

When is Jett getting nerfed?<\/h2>\n

As Riot Games mentioned, patch 4.08 will bring forth Jett’s huge balance tweaks. This update will be released on Tuesday 26th April<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The balance changes are set to coincide with the start of Valorant Episode  4 Act 3 and the impending release of the game’s newest Agent, Fade<\/a>.<\/p>\n
