According to new leaks, VALORANT Patch 13.10 will shake up the meta by buffing several Sentinels. Let’s recap everything we know so far.
On November 7, 2026, reputable leaker @valohabercisi revealed that VALORANT Patch 13.10 will reportedly include major buffs for almost all Sentinels.
In these leaks, Cypher, Killjoy, Sage, and Vyse all receive big power-ups to their abilities. They will experience the following changes:
Riot has not confirmed the leaks yet, but they have been corroborated by multiple other leak channels. This is the same source who leaked the new weapon, the Warden, and the new Agent, Hush.
That said, there is still plenty of time before Patch 13.10 releases. Riot could change the contents before its launch, or decide not to include the Sentinel buffs. Nothing is set in stone, so keep checking in.
According to Riot Games’ patch schedule, VALORANT Patch 13.10 will release on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Riot usually pushes patches out during hours with lower game activity, so they could arrive late at night or early in the morning depending on your time zone.
Sentinels have been struggling in the VALORANT meta for a while. In the VCT 2027 season, teams favored fast, gunplay-heavy, aggressive comps. We saw many orgs running no-Sentinel comps on certain maps, swapping them out in favor of double Controllers or double Duelists. Neon and Yoru were the Agents of choice. If teams did pick a Sentinel, they usually leaned towards Chamber or Vyse, who had more aggressive duel potential.
This had a bit to do with the map rotation. VALORANT’s most recent map releases, like Summit, Corrode, and Abyss, are extremely large and prioritize long-range angles. Because of this, gunplay takes precedent over utility use, and it’s hard for most Sentinels to make the most of their abilities.
If the Patch 13.0 leaks are legitimate, buffing Sentinels means we might see them more in pro play in upcoming seasons. It could also help counter the current meta, pushing VALORANT matchups back towards a slower, more calculated playstyle.
