Title: Significant Changes in Breeze with the Upcoming VALORANT Update

In news sure to excite players, the Metal area on bombsite A in the Breeze map will reopen in the upcoming Patch 8.01. Riot Games announced this on Friday (19), revealing that the planned change initially slated for the last release, Patch 8.0, will finally be implemented on the following Tuesday (23).

The developer shared this information on their official X profile, explaining that the decision to reopen the Metal area was made after its closure in Patch 7.04. At that time, the community expressed dissatisfaction with the resulting void in the map, impacting the entry dynamics into bombsite A on Breeze and, consequently, mid rotations.

The open A Halls section will return to Breeze, as it was prior to Patch 7.04. We've felt that the closed area was too restrictive when paired with the rest of the previous Breeze changes.
