VALORANT’s April Fools’ Day joke about adding a lie detector to voice comms is a good idea
It’s April Fools’ Day, one of the worst days of the year if you work in games media thanks to an avalanche of fake announcements and joke updates. But amongst all the silliness there is the rare good idea, and we spotted one in today’s VALORANT “update.”
VALORANT “Update 4.1” introduced fans to swapped abilities and eye wash stations for flashes, and the trailer for this update also gave players a cursed look at Raze’s hands using Breach utility. But the final feature included in this year’s April Fools Day update was a “deception detector” that mutes you for the remainder of a round if you lie.
