Valorant Episode 2 Act 2 details: Astra, new battle pass, more

As with every new Valorant Act, a new Agent will be joining the roster. This time, it’s the cosmic controller Astra, hailing from Ghana. She can converge the stars to drop gravity wells, smokes, and other utility across the map.

There’ll also be a new battle pass, packed to the brim with new skins, sprays, gun buddies, player cards, and more. It’ll be available for 1,000 VP once the Act launches.

There’s also likely to be a balance patch dropped on the same day as the Act launching. However, details on that are yet to be revealed.

We will keep this piece updated as more information arises.
