Valorant Patch 13.06 Malaysia Time: Agent Gear Revamp 22 Sept 2026
Published: 2026-09-03
Patch 13.06 Malaysia Timing at a Glance
Patch 13.06 rolls to Malaysia servers on 22 September 2026, around 06:00 MYT (GMT+8), the standard APAC Tuesday-morning maintenance window. All times below are Malaysia time. The Agent Gear rework goes live the same day, and the roughly 7-hour queue takedown will land on KL grind stacks before breakfast.
Key MYT windows for Malaysian squads planning their last grind week:
- Mon 21 Sept, 22:00 MYT: your last full grind night before the rework.
- Tue 22 Sept, ~05:00 MYT: server maintenance begins.
- Around 12:00 MYT the same day: queues normally reopen after the APAC patch window.
- Prime time from 21:00 MYT: first live session on the new gear system.
Riot spelled the change out in the Patch 13.05 notes: "Each piece of gear will be tied directly to how much you play the associated Agent" (Riot Games, Patch 13.05 notes). Season 2026: Act 5 continues under the same calendar. This is a mid-Act system swap, not a new Act.
Patch Impact: Kingdom Credits Now Buy Playtime, Not Just Time
Kingdom Credits (KC) are a general-purpose currency today. You farm up to 600 KC a day from four daily checkpoints of 150 KC each by winning rounds in Unrated, Swiftplay, or Competitive, and you can spend that pile on any Agent's 10 gear tiers you want. After 22 September, that flexibility ends. Every gear tier will still cost KC, but each Agent's tier will only progress while you actively play THAT Agent.
Gear you have already claimed stays with you. Any new tier you buy after the patch, though, tracks against the associated Agent's playtime, so switching characters mid-tier stalls the bar until you queue as them again. The Valorant Wiki entry for Kingdom Credits still lists the 10,000 KC wallet cap and the 600-per-day pace, and neither number is changing on 22 September.
Off-Agent Gear: The Grind You Won't Finish After 22 Sept
Here is the math nobody at Riot is emphasising. Ten tiers of Agent Gear typically cost around 40,000 KC per Agent, mirroring the old 10-level Contracts. Your daily ceiling is 600 KC. So one Agent's full track is about 67 clean grind days, roughly two Malaysian school terms of playing every night.
If you main Sova but planned to grind Clove's Gear "just for the card and spray", every hour on Sova after 22 September will contribute zero progress to Clove. Boleh tahan, but the sting is real: any off-Agent gear you have not started before then is effectively locked behind hundreds of extra hours on an Agent you do not want to queue. Yoodo Gank and TODAK esports content teams in KL flagged this to their Discords first, and the polite phrase in Petaling Jaya cyber cafes right now is "grind the bench Agents while you still can, cry later." Twenty-five Agents at 67 days each is 1,675 clean grinding nights, or a bit over 4.5 years, which is the honest ceiling of what a full-completionist Malaysian player is signing up for.
Cost Math: What 40,000 KC Actually Costs in Ringgit
KC are not sold for money. You earn them by playing. So the real cost of a full Agent Gear track is time, not VP: two hours per night of Competitive from a Petaling Jaya bedroom, at roughly one full checkpoint per two wins, hits the 600 KC ceiling on most nights.
VP is a separate story, and this is where the ringgit gap matters for a Malaysian wallet. The 5,350 VP anchor pack sells for RM 267 on REDX Game's Valorant top-up page, versus about RM 328 through the Malaysian App Store, a RM 61 gap on a single top-up. That is roughly a 19% price gap on the exact same VP. Delivery over DuitNow to a Malaysia Riot ID lands in 1-3 minutes on REDX Game, faster than waiting on an App Store receipt email from Cupertino.
Malaysia FAQ: Patch 13.06 Timing and Gear Rules
What time does Patch 13.06 go live in Malaysia?
Around 06:00 MYT on Tuesday 22 September 2026 (22:00 UTC on 21 Sept). APAC patches typically deploy in a 4 to 7 hour window, so queues in Kuala Lumpur normally reopen by lunch.
Do I lose the Agent Gear I already earned?
No. Riot has confirmed you keep everything already claimed and can still spend Kingdom Credits on future gear. The only change is that new tier progress is gated by playtime on that specific Agent.
Should I grind off-Agent gear before 22 September?
If you have a "for-the-collection" Agent you don't main, yes. The 600 KC daily cap makes it impossible to catch up afterwards on Agents you don't queue, so focus your last week on tiers closest to the reward you actually want.
Does the Kingdom Credits cap still apply?
Yes. The wallet ceiling stays at 10,000 KC. Malaysian players hoarding for the new system should burn any excess before 22 September, otherwise the daily farm goes to waste while you sit at cap.
How does Patch 13.06 affect Malaysian VP pricing?
VP prices are unchanged by the patch. REDX Game still sells 5,350 VP for RM 267 versus RM 328 on the Malaysian App Store, and DuitNow top-ups still credit your Riot ID inside 1-3 minutes.
Will Malaysian ranked matches reset with Patch 13.06?
No. It is a gear-system change, not a new Act. Season 2026: Act 5 continues on the same calendar, so MMR and Radiant chase carry straight over.
Local Tips: KL Grind Windows and Where to Refill VP
Two Malaysian habits matter more the week before 22 September. First, prime-time Competitive in KL runs 21:00 to 01:00 MYT and is currently stacked with players trying to burn KC on their mains before the rework locks it in. Queue earlier if you want cleaner lobbies. Second, the first daily win still hands you bonus KC toward one checkpoint. Senang gila to forget when you are grinding on autopilot at 2am in Shah Alam.
For VP top-ups, REDX Game's Valorant top-up service accepts DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, and Boost, and delivers 1-3 minutes to a Malaysian Riot ID. All three e-wallets are the norm at any KL mamak card top-up counter, so the checkout flow feels familiar. Bundles such as the Elderflame Operator, RGX 11z Pro Vandal and Singularity Sheriff pack still price at 5,460 VP, or about RM 273 at REDX Game against RM 335 on the App Store, a similar 18-19% gap. Ipoh and Kuching players on shared home lines should pre-buy VP before 20:00 MYT on patch night, so a shaky connection at midnight does not cost you the buy window. Tak perlu tunggu lama for the credit if you send DuitNow first, and Malaysian squads planning a post-patch 22 Sept ranked push can queue on REDX Game's Valorant page with topped-up VP already in the wallet.
