Today, Riot Games has revealed VALORANT patch notes for 4.02, and it includes performance and social updates in addition to bug fixes. This is just another minor update for the game's Episode 4, Act 1, which introduced the new Duelist agent, Neon, so don't expect a major content dump like some fans might have hoped, with this patch. However, its fixes will surely be a welcomed addition to make sure the tactical shooter won't ruin the experience of players.
In addition to the patch's updates, VALORANT is also adding the new Tigris skin line collection and the free Lunar Celebration Event Pass this week.
You can read the full patch notes for 4.02 below:

PERFORMANCE UPDATES

○ These improvements should play well with in-game overlays, however, having another program’s window on top of your gameplay window will negate these benefits.
SOCIAL UPDATES
● AFK detection buff
○ Updated detections for non-participatory behavior in game
● Agent-select reporting
○ Looks like there’s been some confusion around Agent-select reporting.Remember, you can right click players in pre-game and report them if they’re being disruptive!
