VALORANT Patch 13.10: Replay Bookmarks and Sentinel Buffs
Riot Games has released patch 13.10 for VALORANT. The update introduces a bookmarking system for replays, reduces ability cooldowns for several Sentinels, and updates the Gauntlet: Glitched mode. Additionally, Riot has officially detailed the assist scoring rules that were implemented in patch 13.08.
A key quality-of-life improvement is the introduction of bookmarks in replays. Players can now mark key moments during a match and navigate to them directly on the replay timeline. These bookmarks are private and only visible to the player who created them. PC players can bind a key in the Interface settings, while console players can use a new button in the in-game settings menu.
Sentinel gameplay sees significant changes as cooldowns for destroyed utility have been reduced. Cypher's Spycam now recovers in 45 seconds instead of 60 (though manual retrieval still takes 20 seconds), while Killjoy's Turret and Vyse's Arc Rose now have 45-second cooldowns after destruction. This allows Sentinels to redeploy their utility faster mid-round. Additionally, Sage's Healing Orb targeting has been improved with a crosshair indicator, bringing its precision in line with Miks' Harmonize.
Riot also clarified the assist scoring rules introduced in patch 13.08:
The Gauntlet: Glitched mode has been updated to allow group queuing for up to five players, with opponent pairs being formed randomly. The update also introduces new ability enhancements, new glitches (including a new ultimate for Hush), and various balance adjustments to existing enhancements.
