Here are the VALORANT Patch 7.02 patch notes

VALORANT’s next update, Patch 7.02, will officially go live on Aug. 2, with just about a month remaining in Act One of Episode Seven. While there are no major changes to agent abilities, maps, or game modes, there are a handful of changes that will improve the player experience.

A new hub for esports, the global rollout of the Real Time Text Evaluation and intervention system, some new voice lines, and a number of bug fixes highlight Patch 7.02. Here are the full notes.

VALORANT Patch 7.02 player behavior updates

The most substantial part of Patch 7.02 is the player behavior measures going live. The previously announced global rollout of Riot’s Real Time Text Evaluation and intervention system will begin. The new system has been tested solely in North America up until now and will mute players in voice and text chat automatically when they send disruptive messages in text chat.

VALORANT Patch 7.02 agent updates

There is only one listed agent update in Patch 7.02. Jett’s voice lines have received an update, with added interaction lines with Gekko and Neon.

VALORANT Champions hub

A new in-game esports hub goes live with Patch 7.02. Within the hub, players can check the schedule and follow their favorite teams. The hub goes live officially on Aug. 2.
