Furthermore, penalties for friendly fire will be added to the game in Patch 3.12. Even though players can’t really damage teammates with weapons, abilities do still deal a decent amount of damage. As a result, a friendly fire penalty is coming with the next patch.
Lastly, a rework to the whole progression system might be in the works for VALORANT patch 3.12. According to the PBE server updates, ‘a daily ticket’ will be added to the game. There might be different types of rewards for just playing or winning a match.
