VALORANT Patch 12.06: what changed
VALORANT Patch 12.06 was published on Mar 31, 2026 and includes 1 nerf, 3 adjustments and 16 fixes.
TL;DRPatch 12.06 changes Waylay's Saturate from an INSTANT cast to an EQUIP, so she can no longer Hinder enemies instantly while airborne. Viper's Pit spreads more consistently around map geometry, and Flex movement speed rises to match melee movement speed. The rest of the patch is bug fixes.
Who this matters to
Waylay players
Saturate must now be equipped before use; Riot wants Waylay to take on more of the risk herself instead of setting up teammates with almost no risk.
