Valorant 10.01 patch notes include Rank Shields, Tejo bug fixes and more

Valorant’s latest patch is here, with update 10.01’s patch notes including updates to Rank Shields, bug fixes for new Agent Tejo and more — here’s the full list

Nothing stays the same for long in Valorant, and shortly after the 10.00 update that introduced new Agent Tejo, the 10.01 patch is here.

While it’s mostly focused around bug fixes (many of them affecting Tejo), there’s also the addition of Rank Shields for competitive play in Riot Games‘ tactical shooter.

These will help ensure players don’t lose ranks for every loss, giving a little bit of protection if your team isn’t quite clicking the way it should when you jump in.

Competitive updates

Rank Shields have been added to Competitive Mode!

• You are granted two Rank Shields while in Tier 1 (e.g. Silver 1, Gold 1, Platinum 1) of all Ranks except Radiant.
• When you lose a game at 0 RR, one shield is consumed, leaving you with one shield remaining.
• Losing again at 0 RR consumes the second shield, leaving you with zero shields remaining.
• If you lose three games while at 0 RR, you demote to the lower rank (e.g. Gold 1 to Silver 3).
• You do not have shields in the other tiers of a Rank (e.g. There are no shields when losing at 0 RR in Gold 2).
• Only when you move into Tier 1 via promotion or demotion, will you replenish two shields for that tier.
• Winning at 0 RR and going back to 10 RR will not replenish your shields.
• You can see all information about Rank Shields in the Rank Details screen in the client!
