Why was the Agent eliminated?

Omen has at present been disabled in all Valorant queues. The motive behind this can be a bug that allowed the one taking part in Omen to “unintentionally see enemies as they appear on your teammates’ view”.

Riot Games talked about that they have been disabling him from 5.15 pm PT (June 2) and have been going to try to resolve the issue by June 3.

Valorant’s Agent Omen disabled in the interim

The official announcement got here as an X submit on Valorant’s social media channel. They have been reposting a video shared by Fayde (Wolves Esports coach). The latter’s submit had the next caption:

“GAMEBREAKING Omen bug: Idk how my player got this bug but he can now see where the enemies are while using Dark Cover + hear the footsteps, hot fix please.”

The accompanying clip showcased the issue and its severity. Riot Games introduced that the Agent is disabled a number of hours after that.

In the most recent Valorant Patch 10.10, we noticed a number of modifications with respect to Omen bugfixes:

• Reverted a bugfix that was launched in 10.08, which ought to repair the problem the place useless allies spectating Omen may see by nearsights (most notably Viper’s ult) if Omen is utilizing Dark Cover
• Reintroduced (and nonetheless investigating) the problem the place Omen couldn’t see correctly when casting Dark Cover if he was overlapping one other dense smoke (smokes that obscure imaginative and prescient inside, e.g. Jett Cloudburst, Brimstone Sky Smoke, and so on.).

The present subject makes it not possible to play towards Omen pretty. At the time of writing, Riot Games hasn’t given any extra updates relating to when the Agent is coming on-line once more.
