What Changed for Agents in Patch 13.10?

Three sentinels get the same buff: the cooldown that starts after their utility is destroyed falls from 60 seconds to 45 seconds. Cypher's Spycam also gets a longer Reclaim cooldown. Sage's Healing Orb is easier to aim.

Item	Before	After	Effect on play
Cypher Spycam (after destruction)	60s	45s	Faster re-setup after a flank clears the camera
Killjoy Turret (after destruction)	60s	45s	Turret comes back sooner in a round
Vyse Arc Rose (after destruction)	60s	45s	Arc Rose comes back sooner in a round
Cypher Spycam Reclaim cooldown	15s	20s	Slightly slower to pick the camera back up
Sage Healing Orb	Looser targeting	More accurate, crosshair shows while targeting	Fewer missed heals

How Do Assists Work After Patch 13.10?

These assist rules were meant for Patch 13.08 but were left out of those notes. Riot lists them here.

Assist type	Rule in 13.10
Damage assist	More than 10 damage within 3 seconds of a teammate's kill
Damage assist (heavy damage)	At least 50 damage to an enemy that teammates kill, regardless of timing
Healing assist	Only if the healed player gets a kill within 10 seconds after the heal ends

How Do Replay Bookmarks Work?

Replay bookmarking is the headline feature. You can mark key moments during a match and find them later in the replay. Bookmarks are private to you.

PC: set a keybind in Settings, Controls, Interface, Replay Bookmarking.
Console: use the new button in the in-game Options Menu.

Our recommendation: bind the key before your next ranked session so you can mark clutch rounds and mistakes while you play.

What Is New in Gauntlet: Glitched?

Gauntlet: Glitched gets one of its largest updates so far. Groups of up to 5 can now queue together.

New abilities, glitches and ultimate

Upgrades for Hush (Flow, Displacement), Cypher (Spycam), Veto (Interceptor) and Waylay (Refract).
Cypher's Spycam can equip a Classic and upgrade to a Sheriff.
Skye's Trailblazer can equip a Classic and upgrade to a Frenzy, replacing Greatest Dane.
Hush's new ultimate, Suspension, launches a steerable projectile that levitates players where it lands when reactivated.

Selected balance changes

Upgrade	Before	After
Blaze Quickburn, Level 2 recharge	15s	20s
Blaze Quickburn, Level 3 recharge	6s	10s
Boom Bot Overclocked, Level 2 movement speed	150%	125%
Boom Bot Overclocked, Level 2 duration	8s	7s
Boom Bot Overclocked, Level 3 duration	12s	10s
Contingency Redundancy, Level 3 charges	4	3
Prowler Chonky Cat, Level 2 health	90	100
Prowler Chonky Cat, Level 3 health	120	145
Blast Pack Packs a Punch, Level 2 armed damage	60	75
Blast Pack Packs a Punch, Level 3 armed damage	125	145
Stim Beacon Quick Hits, Levels 2 and 3 duration	2s	4s
Stim Beacon The Good Stuff, Level 3 duration	12s	10s
Dizzy Pickup Game, Level 2 pickup cooldown	5s	3s

Contingency's Redundancy also gains a 15s recharge at Level 2 and a 10s recharge at Level 3. Many other upgrades received recharge, charge or stat tweaks that Riot lists in the full notes.

What Does This Mean for Competitive Play?

Riot lists no ranked or competitive changes, so queue rules stay as they were. The sentinel cooldown cut matters most in standard matches: a destroyed Spycam, Turret or Arc Rose returns 15 seconds sooner.

Our read: the faster cooldowns help sentinel players who lose utility early in a round, while the Spycam Reclaim change slightly slows camera pickup. For tournament context see our look at the VCT 2027 competitive integrity rules.

Bug fixes

Hush's Suspension: fixed lingering visuals, indicator jitter against walls and several agent interactions.
Maps: fixed utility hidden by foliage or small geometry, and abilities clipping through structures on Ascent, Breeze, Corrode, Haven, Split, Summit and Sunset.
Fixes for Sage's Healing Orb line of sight, Viper's Pit and fuel voice lines, Vyse's Steel Garden, and text errors for Reyna, Iso and Yoru.
PC only: fixed Chamber's Rendezvous and Killjoy's Turret becoming unusable after Round Rollback in custom games, and unintended movement from Sage's Barrier Orb with Omen's Shrouded Step.
Console only: fixed Cypher's Cyber Cage controller vibration, Sage's Heal Orb vibrating at full health, and the wrong Shock Bolt icon in Sova's combat report.
