Valorant Patch 3.12 is here, bringing with it Agent specific keybinds and a bunch of social updates to round out the year. 

Valorant Patch 3.12 may be a smaller update than usual, but it has finally introduced Agent keybinds – a highly requested feature. Players can now fully customize their keybinds and switch between them based on the Agent they’re playing. While this is the biggest feature of 3.12, there are also a number of changes to the game’s social features. 

Disruptive players can now be reported during the pregame, while excessive damage done to allies is now being monitored.

This should help lower the amount of griefing and team kills that occur in matches, which should create a more positive experience. There are also a number of bugfixes, so here’s everything that’s coming in Valorant Patch 3.12.
