Riot Games has released VALORANT Patch 13.10, introducing several quality-of-life improvements and balance adjustments. A headline feature allows players to add bookmarks to their replays, either via in-game keybinds or the options menu, making it easier to track specific moments on the replay timeline.
The update also brings changes to the Gauntlet: Glitched mode, where Cypher’s Spycam and Skye’s Trailblazer receive new ability updates. Additionally, the patch implements targeted changes to Sentinel cooldowns. By decreasing the cooldown after these abilities are destroyed, Riot aims to give Sentinels more room to place utility early and reset mid-round. These new cooldowns are set slightly below Initiator signature cooldowns (50s), intended to encourage a more strategic back-and-forth between teams.
Other notable changes include improved targeting accuracy for Sage’s Healing Orb, now matching Miks’ Harmonize to prevent accidental healing of the wrong teammates. The patch notes also clarify that assist awarding updates were implemented in Patch 13.08 alongside Performance Score changes, though they were omitted from the previous patch notes. This update serves as a small, targeted step while Riot continues to evaluate ability cooldowns and Sentinel states across the game.
