New Valorant PBE reveals multiple Clove fixes

Recent Valorant patch v8.07 Public Beta Environment (PBE) made some agent changes before putting them in the live version. These included the much-awaited Clove bug fixes, however, there were also some changes to Chamber and Omen abilities.

Clove is the newest agent in Valorant, which became insanely popular for its playstyle. With a mix bag of abilities like self-heal and self-rez, they became one of the most popular picks in the ranked game.

However, players started reporting multiple bugs that were funny at first but gave a huge competitive disadvantage. This also resulted in a delay in Clove’s competitive debut at the VCT. The developers have issued multiple fixes in the most recent PBE.

Have a quick look at the fixes -

1. Fixed a bug where Clove's Not Dead Yet (X) does not progress the “Use Your Ultimate” weekly mission and Match Details incorrectly reports 0 casts.
2. Fixed a bug where Clove’s Ruse (E) used after death does not report to the Match Details.
3. Fixed a bug where Clove’s aim direction would abruptly change when suppressed during Not Dead Yet (X).
4. Fixed a bug where Clove would sometimes resurrect without their primary weapon when using Not Dead Yet (X).
5. Fixed a bug where Clove’s head and arm hitboxes could be offset when aiming sharply up or down with Ruse (E) equipped.
   - Fixed the same bug that also applied while Clove was crouched with Ruse (E) equipped.
6. Fixed a bug where Clove’s Meddle (Q) used an incorrect ability icon in the combat report.

Chamber and Omen changes

The C ability for Chamber “Trademark” saw a nerf or actually a fix. Players now cannot place the ability on unintended locations around the map using the old exploit. Omen on the other hand received a buff to his ultimate ability.

“Omen is now able to pick up the Spike and interact with other useables like doors while in the Shade form of From the Shadows From the Shadows (X) without having to cancel the ability.” the official patch notes stated.
