Riot Games has released Valorant patch 11.11, the final update of 2025. The patch introduces VP Gifting, a feature players have requested for years, alongside bug fixes for over a dozen agents.
VP Gifting Goes Live December 3rd
Players can now purchase Valorant Points and send them directly to friends instead of picking out specific skins or bundles. The new option appears on the VP purchase page in the store.
Riot is rolling out the feature in stages starting December 3rd PT, so not everyone will have access immediately.
Clove's Ultimate Gets Four Separate Fixes
Clove's Not Dead Yet ability was causing multiple issues that patch 11.11 addresses. Killing Clove right after they activated the ultimate caused some finishers to behave erratically. The agent icon in the team composition bar also failed to update when Clove died inside a smoke while using the ability.
One fix targets a strange spawn bug. If too many players stood over Clove's body, they'd revive at spawn instead of where they died. The Pick-Me-Up overheal indicator will also no longer stick around on the HUD after the overheal depletes.
Harbor's Post-Rework Bugs Addressed
Harbor received a major rework recently, and several bugs came along with it. Storm Surge was affecting Yoru during Dimensional Drift when it shouldn't have been. Dead Clove players were also seeing a Nearsight effect if Storm Surge hit their corpse.
Cove had a placement issue where it would snap-rotate 180 degrees when players looked up or down. Reckoning's minimap indicator was lingering after use and blocking vision cones.
Spectators were seeing colored boxes when switching to players who'd just been hit by Storm Surge or Reckoning. That visual glitch is now fixed.
Cypher's Intel Tools Work Properly Again
A significant Cypher fix resolves unintended information leaks. Enemy positions were briefly appearing on the minimap while those enemies were supposed to be hidden by Cyber Cage.
Two visual bugs also got attention. Spycam would appear recovered even when destroyed during the recovery animation. Trapwire looked active if Cypher died just before it finished arming, even though the trap wasn't functional.
Iso's Kill Contract Interactions Fixed
Clove and Reyna weren't entering Kill Contract at full health with full shields when they had damaged overheal. They now enter the 1v1 at full strength as intended.
Phoenix had a separate issue combining Run It Back with Kill Contract. He wasn't getting his original health and armor back after leaving the arena while his ultimate was active.
Other Agent Fixes
- Chamber - Rendezvous audio no longer cuts off near the end of the teleport animation.
- Jett - Players won't get stuck in midair near ledges or box corners anymore.
- Phoenix - Hot Hands now shows accurate healing values in the combat report.
- Reyna - Devour and Dismiss prompts won't stay on screen when she's out of charges. Her overheal also displays correctly for spectators now.
- Skye - Regrowth was healing certain deployable abilities. It should only heal allied agents.
- Tejo - The Stealth Drone was pushing players and giving them a speed boost. That interaction has been removed.
- Veto - Crosscut could be shot through walls that weren't supposed to allow penetration.
- Vyse - Sova's Recon Bolt and KAY/O's ZERO/POINT were getting stuck in Shear walls instead of being destroyed on contact.
Haven Map Fix
A wallbang spot in A Link near A Site allowed shots through a wall that wasn't supposed to be penetrable. Players looking to abuse that angle will need to find another option.
UI Updates
The Agents page now displays the full roster in a grid format. Navigation works with mouse or arrow keys.
Collections UI updates from patch 11.10 are also live in South Korea, bringing that region up to date with the rest of the world.
Known Issue: Gun Buddy Names Mixed Up
V25A3 ranked gun buddies are showing as "V25A6" in collections. Riot says players don't need to worry. The buddy earned for the first three Acts of Season 2025 is safe and will display the correct name soon.
Players who earned an Act rank in the last three Acts of 2025 will receive their actual V25A6 buddy when patch 12.00 drops.
Valorant Closes Out a Big Year
Patch 11.11 caps off a significant year for Valorant. The game celebrated its fifth anniversary over the summer and made the jump to Unreal Engine 5. Riot also pushed through multiple agent updates across all classes, including the recent Harbor rework.
The VP Gifting addition answers a long-standing request from the community. Combined with the agent fixes, players heading into 2026 should have a cleaner experience overall.
