While this round of Valorant patch notes is relatively slim, the biggest change is to the FPS game‘s new mascot, Wingman, the adorable bird-like slime creature that has been causing havoc since Gekko’s release.
While there aren’t many changes in patch 6.06, the main ones hit Gekko’s ‘lil bro, Mosh, and spike-planting, chaos-causing buddy Wingman.
Mosh’s damage to objects has been decreased from 2.5 to one to bring him more in line with robotic initiator KAY/O, as well as Breach’s infamous Aftershock.
Wingman, unfortunately, will now die if he is the last alive on the squad. While this saves you the guilt of shooting the little guy, I can’t help but feel a little bad for him – even if he’s diffusing the spike I just worked so hard to get onto site. He also won’t be able to concuss players who are outside of his range, which is very much a positive.

While none of these changes will radically shake up the Valorant tier list, it’s worth loading up one of the best Valorant crosshairs to ensure that tiny changes like these don’t impact your game.
