One of the things that is on the lips of the entire Valorant player community is that Riot Games temporarily disabled the competitive queues of its popular shooter video game, and that is, the exploit involves changing a setting in Valorant, Hide user interface in the game.
Something that we find quite curious is that, players only had to activate it and blink from Breach, Phoenix, Skye, Yoru and KAY/0. The setting is supposed to make the UI on a player’s screen invisible, but due to the glitch, it has the adverse effect of causing enemy and allied flashes to not work on their screen.
The exploit was brought to public attention on Twitter by Sentinels player Jordan ‘Zellsis’ Montemurro. Zellsis’s original tweet has over 20,000 likes and over 1,200 retweets. In the video, Zellsis changes his setup and has an ally, Skye, flash him as soon as he starts the round.

Her teammate can be seen fully illuminated, while Zellsis still has full visibility. He then tests it with an enemy flash from Phoenix and again can still see perfectly fine after he shoots into line of sight of it.
His trainer Shane ‘Rawkus’ Flaherty can be heard yelling in the background in disbelief. Other Valorant players and personalities shared the exploit this morning to spread the word and reach out to Riot Games to fix it.
The announcement went out at 1:24 pm EST and said that the team would update players when the queue returned. Valorant recently received a patch on August 9 that saw updates to multiple agents and a menu update for the agent selection screen in matches. Myopic flashes like Omen and Reyna are not affected by the exploit.
