VALORANT patch 13.09 adds Agent Hush across platforms, improves Warden recoil and follow-up-shot accuracy, and reduces Clove Pick-me-up movement speed from 15% to 10%. Ability descriptions and tooltips gain clearer passive and buff information; competitive UI and numerous bugs are also addressed. PC-only and console-only fixes are separately labeled in the source.
