While this series of Valorant patch notes is relatively sparse, the biggest change is the FPS game’s new mascot, Wingman, the lovable slimy bird-like creature that’s been wreaking havoc since the release of Gekko.
While there aren’t many changes in patch 6.06, the main ones have affected Gekko’s little brother, Mosh, and his spike-planting, mayhem-causing companion Wingman.
Mosh damage to objects has been reduced from 2.5 to 1 to bring it more in line with the KAY/O robotic launcher, as well as the infamous Breach Aftershock.
Wingman, unfortunately, will now die if he is the last one alive on the team. While it saves you the guilt of shooting the little guy, I can’t help but feel a little bad for him, even though he’s spreading the spike, I’ve worked so hard to get there . He also won’t be able to shock players outside of his range, which is a huge plus.

While none of these changes drastically alter Valorant’s tier list, it’s worth loading one of Valorant’s best scopes to ensure that small changes like these don’t affect your gameplay.
