Additionally, in Patch 10.00, VALORANT will launch new skins in the EX.O bundle. Are you curious to know more about the latest features? Well, let’s take a look.

It does seem like Patch 10.00 is going to be one of the most significant patches in VALORANT. Firstly, VALORANT has announced the launch of Agent 27, Tejo, an Initiator from Colombia. His ability kit consists of some of the most unique abilities seen in VALORANT, including drone missiles and air missiles.
Additionally, VALORANT has released a new in-game cosmetic item called Flex. Fans can equip Flex in-game. According to Jack Flannery, the product lead of VALORANT, this item will help players express themselves even better during play.
According to Sean Marino, the art director of VALORANT, Flex could consist of various items, from a block of cheese to a stress ball. To equip Flex in VALORANT, players must insert it into their spray wheel. Players can equip Flex at all times during a match, including during the post-plant phase.
On launch, two Flex items will be available to VALORANT fans. One will be free, and the other will be available through this season’s battle pass.
