Gray Zone Warfare 0.4.4.0 Closes Fort Narith Vault Exploit and Fixes Stuck Tasks

Gray Zone Warfare patch 0.4.4.0 went live June 4, continuing post-Spearhead support. The update closes a vault exploit in the Fort Narith operations room that players were using to reach out-of-bounds positions. It also fixes a stuck progression trigger on the Street Spotter task that left some players unable to advance. Additional fixes cover magnifier sight alignment and several animation issues. The game is in version 0.4.x, still in Early Access on Steam.

Story 02 FPS Valorant Patch Notes 12.09

Valorant Masters London Starts June 6: First Major Without Neon's 77% Pick Rate

VCT Masters London runs June 6 through June 21, making it the first major Valorant international event since Patch 12.09 removed Neon's sprint-jump speed bonus and cut kill-based fuel regen outside her ultimate. Neon had a 77.25% pick rate across all four VCT regions in Stage 1, exceeding Chamber's record roughly 67% peak from Champions 2022. Riot moved the nerf up from Patch 13.00 specifically so the pro meta could settle before London. All shotguns were also made less accurate while moving in the same patch.
