Console VALORANT - patch notes 9.02

GENERAL UPDATES
The ‘Keep Player Centered’ minimap setting will now be forced on for minimap zoom levels above 1.0. This prevents non-centered minimap views from getting into an unusable state for high zoom levels.

Toggleable Abilities: Select abilities which require you to press and hold a button down can now be set to ‘Toggle,’ allowing you to press and let go of the input to steer the ability freely while it’s active.
The following abilities can be set to Toggleable in the Agent Profile Settings:
Harbor: High Tide
Phoenix: Fire Wall
Skye: Guiding Light
Neon: High Gear
High Gear’s description in the Ability Info Panel has been updated to match the ability’s bindings.

Hunter’s Fury applies less drag on your controls, allowing more control over the charge’s duration.
