It’s 2024, and for most competitive FPS players, it means there are a couple of new updates and content to look forward to on their favourite games. For VALORANT players, it’s the release of the next episode and a fresh new Battle Pass.
Before the new version is here, it’s high time to give you a refresher on what the VALORANT Battle Pass is all about so you can plan ahead and maximize your in-game experience. Both new and current players will have the chance to purchase the pass and climb the ranks to get the coolest skins, sprays, player cards, and more! For those who are just starting their VALORANT journey, here’s everything you need to know about the Battle Pass system and what the current one has to offer.
VALORANT’s Battle Pass System Explained
Ever since the game’s launch, VALORANT has included a Battle Pass, which is a cosmetic system designed to reward players as they play through the different game modes available.
The Battle Pass is split into two tracks. The Free version comes with basic rewards, while the Premium version has exclusive rewards that you can only get through it. You also get a hefty three percent bonus on all battle pass XP earned, making it easier for you to progress and unlock more rewards. The Battle Pass has a total of 50 tiers, some of which are on the free track. However, some of the more prestigious rewards can only be unlocked once you purchase the Premium track for 1,000 VALORANT points, which you can easily get when you top up online through Codashop.
If you don’t opt for the Premium version, you won’t be able to receive the special items that come with it. However, you can always upgrade at a later stage and get the rewards you earned retroactively while playing with the Free version.
Rewards and Leveling Up Your Battle Pass
Whenever you play through missions or win a game in Unrated, Competitive, Premier, or Swiftplay, you will be earning Battle Pass XP. This is what you need to level up your Battle Pass and get the rewards. The more you play and the more XP you earn, the faster you will level up and get rewards. As you earn XP for the Battle Pass, you progress through the tiers, and you’ll get a reward, which could be any of the following:
- Weapon Skins
- Titles
- Player Cards
- Sprays
- Gun Buddies
- Radianite Points
This brings us to the different Battle Pass updates, which come with their own unique rewards. As you may know, the pool of rewards for a Battle Pass is only available for the duration of that Battle Pass. This means that you won’t be able to earn any of the rewards for a previous Battle Pass when a new one is released. However, some gun and knife skins may become available later on at the in-game store. As Riot releases new Episodes and Acts, we also get a new Battle Pass with its own new set of rewards.
Current Battle Pass (Episode 6 Act 1)
Riot started the year with quite a bang with the release of Episode 8 Act 1: Defiance. Now, we’re in the middle of Act 2 with its own Battle Pass and set of rewards for you to grind your way through..
The currentBattle Pass is jam-packed with new rewards that are sure to keep players busy for quite a while. The new rewards include exclusive weapon skins, sprays, gun buddies, and more. Here’s all you need to look forward to in the latest Battle Pass:
- Aquatica Skin Line
- Siphon Brew Player Card
- Shellspire Skin Line
- Radiant Skincare player card
- Sneaky Stack Spray
- Downtime Spray
- Lotus Gun Buddy
- Retrowave Skin Line
Is Getting a Premium VALORANT Battle Pass Worth It?
If you’re just a casual player who doesn’t have that much time to dedicate to playing the game, then you may want to rethink getting a premium battle pass. However, if you get a lot of enjoyment playing the game, winning battles, and unlocking new cosmetics and items, then getting a premium VALORANT Battle Pass is definitely worth it. The premium version has significantly more rewards, more levels to unlock, and more challenges to complete. So what are you waiting for? Get your hands on a premium battle pass, and get ready to reap the rewards!
