A Valorant hot mic bug is making for unintentional hilarity (and some hurt feelings) with the push-to-talk (PTT) mic option being disabled in favour of being on by default.
Riot Games rolled out a Valorant patch this week with update 6.11 that gave Pearl an overhaul, and lifted Chamber out of the mires of mediocrity where he's been languishing in with new buffs that take him back to his days of glory. In the days since the patch went live however, players have discovered a bug that's causing havoc in real life, as opposed to scuppering up gameplay.
The Valorant hot mic bug is exactly what it sounds like; the game's default mic settings are PTT, so you have to push the V key if you want to speak to teammates in the team chat (unless you've mapped the function to a different key of your choice). Press the key and they can hear you. If you're not pushing it, they can't.
