This update is nothing in comparison to what Patch 8.11 will be.
Riot Games released Patch 8.10 for VALORANT today, May 29, which focuses on updating the existing basic training tutorials for new players.
From here on now, the Welcome Contract will be different as the developers tweaked its structure to include "clearer missions and milestones" that will help new players progress in VALORANT before they start playing Ranked. The Basic Training Event will also allow players to view their progress, and understand goals at each milestone.
Aside from altering the basic training tutorials, the developers have also fixed Cypher and Clove bugs in VALORANT Patch 8.10.
Overall, this is just a small patch in comparison to the much-anticipated Patch 8.11, which Riot announced on May 21 via a dev update video. Patch 8.11 will bring on significant balance changes to VALORANT and a new map rotation after VCT Masters Shanghai concludes.
Here is everything included in VALORANT Patch 8.10 notes.

VALORANT Patch 8.10 notes
Basic Training Event
- We are releasing an update to our Welcome Contract for new players! The new structure includes clearer missions and milestones to help you navigate the New Player Experience with a bit more guidance before your Ranked climb.
- The Basic Training Event will appear similar to other Events, allowing you to view your progress, understand your goals at each milestone, and complete them to earn rewards to jumpstart your VALORANT experience.
- If you have previously completed the Welcome Contract, you will not see the Basic Training Event (don’t worry, you have already earned all the same rewards!).
- If you are partially complete with the Welcome Contract, your previously earned rewards will be reflected in the Basic Training Event when it comes online, and you will be able to proceed through Basic Training, earning XP toward your Battlepass.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where shots fired immediately after exiting Cypher’s Spycam (E) would bypass the weapon’s raise animation and not deal damage. The weapon raise animation now plays for its full duration.
- Fixed issues where the timer for Clove’s Pick-Me-Up (C) could be restarted which would allow Clove to have more time than intended to activate the ability.
That's all for now. However, stay tuned to esports.gg for more VALORANT news and guides.
