5 Valorant Patch 13.06 Changes on Malaysia Time (22 Sept 2026)
Published: 2026-09-12
Valorant Patch 13.06 arrives on Malaysia servers on Tuesday, 22 September 2026, and the largest shift is the Agent Gear revamp. Every future Kingdom Credit item will be tied to how much you actually play the Agent it belongs to. All times below are Malaysia Time (MYT), which is GMT+8.
Riot flagged the change inside Patch 13.05, which shipped on 1 September 2026, and Kingdom Credits themselves stay in the game even after the revamp goes live. What actually moves is the source of the XP that opens new gear on the track, which is now bound to the specific Agent you queue with each match. Nine-day window. Squads in KL, Ipoh and Johor Bahru still grinding the Aeris bundle need a plan before the 22 September timer flips, and that plan starts with sorting out which Agents' gear tracks are worth pushing right now.
Patch 13.06 Lands 22 September 2026 on Malaysia Servers
Malaysian queues restart around 06:00-09:00 MYT on 22 September, matching the Pacific rollout pattern used for previous mid-Act patches on the SEA cluster. Champions Shanghai group stage matches begin 24 September, so Pick'Ems close in-client and on the web the night before, which gives Malaysian fans a hard 23 September deadline to lock their bracket predictions. REDX Game recommends topping up VP on 20 or 21 September, so wallets clear before the client patches. Two days is a comfortable buffer for Boost, TNG eWallet, or DuitNow clearance across Maybank2u and CIMB Clicks.
Act 5 kicked off on 18 August with the Aeris bundle, and Patch 13.05 delivered no balance changes at all, with nine agents receiving individual bug fixes only. Patch 13.06 opens the Champions 2026 bundle window, per the official Patch 13.05 notes, with the exact capsule release slot expected between 12 and 24 September on the Pacific server rotation. Malaysian pros in the VCT Pacific pipeline treat this like a mini pre-season reset.
Agent Gear Revamp Rewrites the Kingdom Credit Path
Riot wrote it plainly in the 13.05 notes: "With the release of Patch 13.06 on September 22, we'll be revamping the Agent Gear system" (playvalorant.com). Already-earned gear stays with your account. Kingdom Credits keep working as the currency. What changes is how new gear opens up: through Agent-specific playtime, not global XP that flows onto any Contract you happen to set.
Before 22 September, a Duelist main can farm Yoru or Reyna gear by grinding literally any Agent. Cypher one-tricks benefit the same way. After the patch, that shortcut ends. Malaysian flex mains feel this the most — a Yamato-style clutch player who mostly runs Cypher will finish Cypher's track faster than a flex main, but every OTHER Agent's track resets its progression clock. Kingdom Credits still buy the items, yet the XP prerequisite is now stapled to the specific Agent. For a background primer on how Riot has structured Valorant's economy since the June 2020 launch, the Valorant Wikipedia entry lays out the earlier Battlepass and skin models.
Ringgit Math: What 1000 VP Actually Costs in Malaysia
Buy 1000 VP through REDX Game Valorant at roughly RM 33.90 for Malaysian accounts, versus about RM 45.90 through the Apple App Store for iOS players in KL topping up the same tier. That RM 12 gap widens on the 5350 VP block, where the direct top-up runs around RM 169.90 versus about RM 219 through the App Store for the same in-game currency amount. On a Champions 2026 bundle rumoured to land at 11,000 VP, the ringgit gap crosses RM 100 across the full stack, which alone funds two extra skin lines for the average KL squad. Boleh tahan.
The math shifts if you skip skins for the battle pass. Season 2026 Act 5's Premium pass runs 1000 VP. One clean top-up covers it, with change left for a Deluxe rifle roll. iOS charges roughly the same for less: a KL Bangsar player who tops up RM 100 via REDX Game lands about 2,950 VP, enough for the pass plus a 1775 VP Prime tier. Same wallet on iOS? Around 2,150 VP. Petaling Jaya cafe crews running five accounts feel that gap compound fast.
5-Step Grind Plan Before 22 September
- Log every Agent you want gear from. Open your progression tab tonight. Screenshot the Agents sitting at 50% or higher on their gear track. Prioritise the ones you barely touch — those are the tracks that will freeze on 22 September.
- Convert leftover Kingdom Credits. The currency survives. What may shift is availability and item pricing on the new track. Spend on any 8000 KC or 5000 KC items you were sitting on before the store refresh.
- Grind universal XP between 12 and 21 September. Under the current system, XP flows into whichever Agent Contract you have active. Set the Contract to your most-played Agent for post-patch continuity, then park a second Contract for an off-meta pick you rarely queue with. Two rows of progress per week is realistic on a Klang Valley schedule.
- Top up VP before the Champions bundle drops. Estimated window 12-24 September for the 2026 Champions skin capsule. Use REDX Game DuitNow for 1-3 minute delivery so wallets clear before the store refresh cycle. Cikgu-hours (weekday evenings) tend to see faster bank push than weekend surge.
- Set your Pick'Ems. Group Stage locks 24 September. Free rewards apply to Malaysian accounts too. Chamber, Cypher, Deadlock, Fade, KAY/O, Omen, Sage and Waylay bug fixes are already settled in 13.05, so ranked play stays clean across Yoodo, Digi and Unifi Mobile connections.
Patch 13.06 Questions Malaysian Players Ask
When does Valorant Patch 13.06 drop for Malaysian players?
Tuesday, 22 September 2026, with the typical Pacific rollout hitting the Malaysia server around 06:00-09:00 MYT and a short queue outage of roughly 30 to 90 minutes before ranked reopens for Klang Valley players.
Do I lose Kingdom Credits gear I already earned?
No. Riot's 13.05 notes state that gear you already earned stays on your account, and Kingdom Credits keep working as the currency for future gear purchases through the revamped Agent-specific progression track.
Berapa harga 1000 VP di Malaysia?
Sekitar RM 33.90 melalui REDX Game direct top-up, disampaikan dalam 1 hingga 3 minit menerusi DuitNow, Boost atau TNG eWallet untuk pemain Malaysia. Harga di App Store iOS untuk tier yang sama ialah sekitar RM 45.90 untuk pemain di Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, dan Johor Bahru.
Adakah Patch 13.06 mengubah agen pilih ranked di server Malaysia?
Tidak secara langsung. Patch 13.06 tidak mengubah balancing agen ranked. Perubahan utama ialah cara Kingdom Credits gear diperoleh untuk agen tertentu. Meta ranked di Malaysia bergantung pada patch balancing berikut, bukan 13.06.
Should I grind on my off-meta Agent before 22 September?
Yes, if you want cosmetics for an Agent you rarely queue with. Under the current rules, universal XP can be steered onto that Agent Contract. After 22 September, only matches on that specific Agent contribute to their gear track. Kalau grind sikit setiap malam, senang gila catch up before the window ends.
Malaysia Local Tips: KL Cafes, Yoodo Ping and MPL Overlap
KL Bangsar and Petaling Jaya cyber cafes see the Champions Shanghai overlap pack out early evening from 24 September, especially the mid-tier LAN rooms that stream matches on the projector while ranked queues stay live in the back seats. Yamato of TODAK, Malaysia's MPL Mobile Legends veteran, has streamed Valorant sets from his Kuching setup during MPL Malaysia S18 offweeks between Selangor Red Giants match nights. Yoodo, Digi and Unifi Mobile ping to the Singapore server averages 18-32 ms from the Klang Valley on Valorant during 20:00 to 23:00 MYT windows. Memang best for late-night scrim scheduling in Shah Alam and Cheras.
Johor Bahru and Georgetown Penang players who mix Valorant with weekend MLBB grind can lean on one wallet for both titles instead of juggling two separate top-up channels each Sunday afternoon. One REDX Game Valorant top-up typically clears in under three minutes across Maybank, Public Bank and Hong Leong. Tak perlu tunggu lama and no App Store markup. For readers still watching Champions Shanghai from Ipoh mamak stalls, remember all match and patch times are MYT (GMT+8), which is the same clock that governs Malaysian ranked queues on the SEA server cluster.
