TL;DR: You can add bookmarks to your replays, Gauntlet: Glitched updates, assist changes, and bug fixes.

HELLOOO everyone! Joy here to bring you the latest on patch 13.10. In this patch, you get a gun, you get a gun, everybody gets a gun. We’re bringing some fun updates to Gauntlet: Glitched, where Cypher’s Spycam and Skye’s Trailblazer gain some memorable abilities... among a number of other updates. Read on for more. 😀

GENERAL UPDATES

Replay Bookmarking

You can now bookmark key moments during your matches, allowing you to easily navigate to those moments when viewing your Replays.
Your bookmarks are only visible to you and won’t appear for other players viewing the replay.
On PC, the keybind will be blank by default - you can set the keybinding in Settings → Controls → Interface → Replay Bookmarking.
On Console, you can capture bookmarks with a new button in the Options Menu while in game.
Here’s how to set this up!
- PC
  - Set up your keybind
  - Use your keybind in game to bookmark a moment
- Console
  - Add a bookmark from the options menu while in game
Here’s how bookmarks will look on the replay timeline

AGENTS UPDATES

We’re making some light changes to Sentinel cooldowns to help encourage more strategic back and forth between teams. This is a small, targeted change while we continue to look at ability cooldowns and Sentinel states across VALORANT more broadly. We're decreasing to a shorter cooldown after these abilities are destroyed to see if it gives Sentinels a bit more room to place utility early and reset mid-round, while still rewarding the team that breaks their setup. This puts these cooldowns slightly below Initiator signature cooldowns (50s). We'll be watching how it affects the back-and-forth around ability timing, and what we learn will help shape any bigger changes down the line.

Cypher
- Spycam
  - Cooldown after being destroyed decreased from 60s >>> 45s.
  - Reclaim cooldown increased from 15s >>> 20s, in line with other Sentinels
Killjoy
- Turret
  - Cooldown after being destroyed decreased from 60s >>> 45s.
Vyse
- Arc Rose
  - Cooldown after being destroyed decreased from 60s >>> 45s

We’re also improving Sage’s Healing Orb targeting accuracy to match Miks’ Harmonize, making it easier to not accidentally heal the wrong teammates.

Sage
- Increased accuracy while targeting allies
- Crosshair is now visible while targeting with Healing Orb

GAMEPLAY SYSTEMS UPDATES

In Patch 13.08, we updated how assists were awarded alongside our Performance Score updates, but missed including them in the patch notes then (whoops!). These changes are intended to more visibly encourage trading, better reward players who contribute to securing kills, and make sure healing assists reflect their impact on a fight.

Here’s what changed:

Damage Assists: You can now earn an assist by dealing more than 10 damage to an enemy within 3 seconds of a teammate securing a kill. You’ll also continue to earn assists for dealing at least 50 damage to an enemy that your teammates kill, regardless of when that damage is done.
Healing Assists: Healing assists are now awarded only when a player you’ve healed gets a kill within a 10 second window after the heal effect ends
