Hush joined the game with the VALORANT 13.09 update. The patch makes Warden’s opening shots easier to control and reduces Clove’s movement speed bonus. The update covers several topics for players who want to learn the new agent, reconsider their weapon choice, or better understand the post-match screen.
Meet Hush’s Abilities
Hush is a Chinese Duelist who uses telekinesis. Her abilities can disrupt enemy positioning, while her aerial movement requires careful timing as you learn the agent.
- Telekinesis — Passive: She can pick up weapons and the Spike from a distance and interact with switches. Picking up the Spike is available on the attacking side.
- Displace: Pulls players toward the center and concusses those who collide with a surface or another player. Refreshes every two kills.
- Flash Burst: Blinds players looking at the explosion.
- Flight: Launches her toward the pull point she creates.
- Suspend: Leaves affected players suspended in the air.
You can review the targeting and reactivation steps in the official ability descriptions. Instead of trying to use every ability at once during your first attempts, choose a single entry plan. First disrupt the enemy’s position, then consider when your teammate can advance. Testing the flash and pull effects in coordination with your team makes it easier to determine whether a play you make alone actually creates space. Seeing an ability reach its target in practice is different from using it at the right moment during a match. Choose one question to focus on: Could your team advance after the ability, or did everyone remain in the same position? You can review your replays with this question in mind.
Changes to Warden’s Opening Bullets
Vertical recoil on the opening shots has been reduced slightly. The spread values have changed as follows:
| Second bullet | 0.25 | 0.20 |
| Third bullet | 0.60 | 0.50 |
These adjustments aim to make the weapon’s opening bullets more controllable. If you previously tried Warden and stopped using it, you can test its short bursts again. Practicing against the same target at similar distances makes it easier to compare the new feel with your old habits. Do not focus only on the number of hits during this process; evaluate your stationary firing and crosshair placement as well.
Which Habit Should Clove Players Reconsider?
Pick-Me-Up’s movement speed bonus has been reduced from 15% to 10%. If you play Clove, reassess how you reposition after using the ability. Instead of automatically repeating a peek that previously felt comfortable, account for nearby cover and support from your team. Before deciding to abandon the agent entirely because of a single change, it may be more useful to observe how your own playstyle is affected.
What Do Haste and Snapshot Mean?
Haste refers to increased movement speed, while Snapshot refers to revealing players with a stationary silhouette. Haste should not be confused with Combat Stim’s effects on firing and weapon handling speed. When reading ability descriptions, check the effect’s name rather than looking only at its icon. This will help you distinguish an effect that improves movement from a buff that affects weapon handling.
What Is Included on the Post-Match Score Screen?
An information screen has been added for Performance Score. On PC, players can hover over trades on the scoreboard to view an explanation. Best Match of the Act now has a greater effect on Map Score. Instead of focusing on a single number after a match, you can read the on-screen explanations alongside your own decisions. Choosing one habit to improve in your next match provides a more actionable goal than treating the score change alone as a measure of success.
Which Region Does the Radianite Change Cover?
The Radianite purchase update is exclusive to Korea. The official notes do not provide a confirmed launch time for the update in Türkiye.
Itemgold’s Take
As you adjust to 13.09, first choose the change that directly affects your gameplay: team entries with Hush, short bursts with Warden, or repositioning with Clove. You can plan your cosmetic purchases separately from this learning process. If there is content you want to purchase from the store, you can browse the ItemGold Valorant Point Türkiye category and the 375 VP product. The product is listed for PC and the Türkiye region; check your current balance, the price of your desired content, and your account’s compatibility before choosing an amount.
