Valorant patch 6.01 is here, and it has added Lotus to the official map pool for Unrated and Competitive game modes. The newly-introduced Valorant map has also received an important change, which has been revealed by the devs in the official patch notes of the new Valorant update.
Another notable change that Valorant patch 6.01 has brought to the shooter is the removal of the ‘Replication’ game mode. The Lotus-only queue has also been removed from the game.
The primary change Lotus has received is the reduction in volume for the rotating doors. Once the update has been shipped, the rotating doors near the bombsites will be much quieter when rotating. In addition to these changes, the 6.01 patch for Valorant focuses on important bug fixes and addressing map exploits on the new map Lotus.

Lotus
There are several bug fixes for Lotus.
- The boost exploits in the back of B Site have been removed.

- Breach can now use abilities on both rotating doors.
- The destructible door located at A Link now has working vision cones.
- The Spike can no longer get lost in the back of A Site. Fixed a broken Spike plant spot on A Site.
