VALORANT Episode Five, Act Two has a lot of content in store for players worldwide. This includes the new battle pass that can grant rewards such as weapon skins, player cards, gun buddies, and more.
Some of the possible rewards players can pick up through the battle pass for free include the Immortalized Sheriff weapon skin, the Spike Showdown and Rising Tide player cards, the Magic Hummingbird gun buddy, and the Guess That’s It spray.
As for those who want all of the rewards from the premium pass, a ton of new content is up for grabs. Players can grind the premium pass in exchange for the Obsidiana, Immortalized Vandal, and Piedra del sol Phantom. Other possible rewards, such as the KAY/O K.O., the Kitsune Mask gun buddy, and the Hehehehehe spray, will also be available.
The Episode Five, Act Two battle pass is themed around “myths and legends,” according to Riot producer Laura Baltzer. The devs also want the battle pass “to reflect some of the things” going on in the esports scene of VALORANT.
“We wanted the Battlepass to reflect some of the things that were going on in VALORANT and make it feel like a memorable part of this moment in time for players,” Baltzer said. “Champions is just around the corner and we can’t wait to see what legends are born from it.”
Baltzer also shared stories about some of the upcoming weapon skins’ backgrounds, such as for the Piedra del Sol skin line. “We worked very closely with our Latin America office on the Piedra del Sol skinline,” Baltzer said. “They helped us on everything from the color palette to the final naming of the weapons. It was so great to learn from them about some of the beautiful Aztec art and rich mythology.”
