All games suffer from bugs and bugs, but some of them are too destructive for the game to be taken lightly. Valorant is no exception. Recently, players encountered a bug related to the pin code, which only worked when the Valorant character Harbor used his ultimate. Riot quickly snatched the controller out of the game's ranked FPS queues to tweak its Reckoning around the edges.
So far, Harbor's success rate hasn't been high enough, forcing the developer to reload his Cascade Charges. In the 5.10 Valorant patch, the Indian Runaway got a significant buff in the extra waterfall, which caused a weird glitch in his ultimate. Pings of all players who were in the area of AoE Reckoning were bursting with jumps, sometimes even for 1000ms.
The surge lasted for the duration of Harbor's ult, which is 9 seconds. This was a constant bug that caused noticeable frustration for all players, even those with animal builds. Luckily, Riot quickly noticed this and is working on a fix. However, to do this, Harbor will have to go to the workshop, which means that he can no longer play.
“Harbor's finite capability creates unintended latency spikes in some cases. For now, we are disabling the agent in the competitors' queue. Stay tuned", - said the developer.
It is yet to be determined when Harbor will return to the queue, but this should take at most a few days. It was expected that the agent's recent buffs would finally make it a meta ability in Valorant. Those eager to play buffed Harbor will have to wait to dominate competitive Valorant with double cascades and Reckoning that doesn't ping stun.
It is worth noting that he only disappeared from the competitive mode. Casual players have not yet reported a similar bug in other Valorant modes, but it would be best to avoid tinkering with Harbor in unranked mode until a fix is provided.
