Yet another Valorant PBE patch is here. Since it comes immediately after several adjustments and fixes were brought on by the last one, it does not have too many changes to offer.

The PBE or Public Beta Environment was developed by Riot Games to test out certain new features such as Agent and map tweaks. Additionally, these include fresh content and UI changes as well, tested among a select few players before rolling them out to the large general playerbase.

This article will tell you everything you need to know about the latest PBE Patch 6.06 that is currently live, having started from 4 PM PST on March 16, 2023, and set to stay till 11 PM PST on March 20, 2023.


All changes coming with Valorant's PBE Patch 6.06

According to the latest announcement from Valorant's developers, the following changes will be tested during the PBE arriving on March 16, 2023:

MAP UPDATES

Lotus

  • Updated door destruction VFX to make it easier to see through.

The animation when the door was breaking made it difficult for players on either side to see what was happening or if there was anyone on the other side. This change should add more transparency to that animation to make it easier for gamers to see what lies behind the door as they break it.


BUG FIXES

Agents

  • Fixed a bug where Yoru’s Fakeout (C) would fall through the ground when shot in mid-air.

Although this is not a particularly game-breaking bug, it can be quite distracting to see a full-fledged player model, which is what the Yoru clone looks like to enemies, fall through the map when you shoot at it. Therefore, it is a good thing that the developers are fixing this bug in Valorant.

These are all the changes coming with the latest PBE Patch 6.06. The next set is expected to go live on March 31, 2023, and April 21, 2023.
