A new audio bug in Valorant allows players to activate the sound effect of Sova 's ultimate ability without using the ability. This can be an unfair advantage, as players may think they are using abilities to deceive their enemies and defend themselves.
Sova's Hunter's Rage ability lets her fire three long-range, wall-piercing energy blasts. Each blast takes a few seconds to fire, and players can see where the blast will fire for a few seconds, giving them a chance to dodge. Enemies directly hit by an explosion are killed and partially hit enemies take significant damage.
When Sova's ultimate ability is activated, a certain sound effect can be heard by all players. This serves as a warning to the enemies that three deadly explosions are about to fire. However, a new bug is causing Sova players to activate the sound effect without actually using the ability.
A player has uploaded a video showing how to enable the bug. Players must have ultimate abilities and a scout drone for it to work. If players activate both abilities at the same time, the ultimate sound effect will activate, although Sova will only take out her scout drone.
This can cause enemy players to wait for Sova to explode while still roaming freely. While it won't directly damage enemies, it can still confuse the opposing team.
As long as players have both abilities, they can be repeatedly exposed to the malfunction. Bug posted by a player on Valorant Bug megathread . We hope Riot Games will fix the issue as soon as possible.
