What to expect from Patch 6.0 (Episode 6 Act 1)?

Patch 6.0 is shaping up well for Valorant players. Multiple changes are expected to flow in. Primarily, the new patch will introduce a new Battle Pass. It will contain three new skinlines, 9 Lives, Venturi, and Gridcrash. It will also feature new Player Cards, Gun Buddies, Sprays, Titles, and Radianite points.

The most significant change during this patch will be the departure of Bind and Breeze. The reworked Split and a new map, Lotus, will be added to the roster. Split drew widespread criticism for being heavily defender-friendly, so developers have made changes to the map, which should ease those concerns and equalize the playing field.

Lotus will be a new addition to Valorant's latest Episode. It will have three new sites and introduce a new map mechanic called 'rotating doors.' The map is large and has sections with plenty of spots and corners.

Omen will also see a change wherein his smoke will always hit the nearest floor, reducing the possibility of creating one-way smoke. Lastly, a new skin bundle will be released. The bundle will be called Araxys and contain skins for Vandal, Operator, Shorty, Bulldog, and Melee.
