Episode 10, Act 2 is finally here, and it brings a host of changes that are set to shake up the meta. From significant agent updates to a brand new battle pass, there's a lot to cover. Here are the key takeaways from the Patch 10.0 notes.
Agent Updates: Cypher Buffs & Jett Nerfs
The biggest news is a long-awaited buff for Cypher. His Cyber Cage can now be remotely detonated even after death, and his Neural Theft ultimate now reveals enemies twice. This is a huge boost for the Moroccan information broker. On the other hand, Jett's Tailwind ability now has a slightly longer cooldown, a move by Riot to continue tuning her dominance in the pro scene.
Map Pool Changes
Say goodbye to Breeze for now, as it rotates out of the competitive queue. In its place, the fan-favorite Pearl makes its return. Get ready to practice your B-long executes again!
New Battle Pass Highlights
This Act's battle pass features three new skin lines: 'Pixel-Perfect', 'Rune Stone', and 'Velocity'. The standout is the 'Velocity' melee weapon, a sleek karambit-style knife with a clean animation. As always, the pass is packed with unique gun buddies, sprays, and player cards to grind for.
