#KILLJOY VALORANT PATCH#
Until the next one arrives, Killjoy mains (if any remain after her last patch bludgeoning) will need to try their hands at an alternate Agent. Valorant’s updates come semi-regularly, typically dropping around Tuesday each week. We'll be disabling Killjoy until we can patch this exploit.”
#KILLJOY VALORANT UPDATE#
“Believe it or not, this update was not intended. “You might have heard about Killjoy's newest ability - placing turrets under the map,” A tweet from the Valorant account reads.

This isn’t the first time this exploit has reared its head, leading to players sharing rather tongue-in-cheek assessments of her recent nerfs. Even a peashooter begins to hurt when locked on for the entire round. The trick is that these spots would allow the turret to fire back in, often across the entire level. However, a few sneaky players had discovered spots which allowed them to place the turret outside the bounds of the map.

Following on from both Raze and Omen’s time in the sin bin, gadget-master Killjoy has now been dropped from the playable selection of Agents.

It seems like Valorant’s Agents just can’t keep themselves out of trouble. German Agent Killjoy has been temporarily removed from Valorant’s playable roster until the next update.
