How does Battle Pass work in Valorant?
The Battle Pass is a system by which players can support the Valorant team and receive rewards in-game. Battle Pass costs 1000 Valorant Points, which can be bought from the store. The rewards mainly include cosmetic items such as weapon skins, player cards, weapon charms (gun buddies), sprays, and Radianite points. The rewards are spread throughout the 50 Tiers of the Battle Pass. Players who do not wish to purchase the Battle Pass can also get certain limited gifts through progression.
When is the next ACT in Valorant?
You can expect the next Episode 7, Act 3, to drop on October 31, 2023. We still have to wait for an official confirmation from Riot Games for the exact release time.
