What this hub covers
Valorant Patch 13.06, released 22 September 2026, is the largest update of 2026 so far. It overhauled the pre-game experience with the Home/Lobby merge, introduced Agent Mastery (a per-agent progression system) and replaced ACS with Performance Score as the primary competitive metric. The patch also added the new rifle "The Warden" and launched the Gauntlet: Glitched limited-time mode.
Key changes in Patch 13.06
- Home/Lobby merge. The separate Home and Lobby screens are now a single hub integrating Events, Missions and party management. Queue times and party invites are handled from one screen.
- Agent Mastery. A new progression system tracking your performance with each agent. Unlock tiers with agent-specific cosmetic rewards.
- Performance Score replaces ACS. The old Average Combat Score metric is gone. Performance Score weighs utility usage, objective play and team contribution alongside kills.
- The Warden rifle. A new rifle sitting between the Guardian and the Vandal in price and role.
- Gauntlet: Glitched. A new competitive-oriented limited-time mode with modified economy rules.
- Console expansion. Valorant Console is now live in Australia and New Zealand.
