The Valorant Episode 4 Act 1 battle pass will release alongside the new update on January 12, giving players the chance to unlock new weapons skins and rewards. 

One of the most exciting things to come to Valorant Episode 4 Act 1 is the new battlepass. Not only does it give players the chance to grind out new levels, but they can also snag some unique rewards. 

Of course, like past Valorant battle pass rewards, some of the game’s cosmetics will be free and paid. Highlights include the Chicken Out Gun Buddy and Hydrodip Frenzy skin, which can be claimed from leveling up the new pass. 

Before the new rewards go live, make sure you get a first look at the Valorant Episode 4 Act 1 battle pass below.

Valorant Episode 4 Act 1 battlepass cosmetics

There’s a total of 15 sprays in the Episode 4 Act 1 battle pass. These include the Valentine’s Tactics player card and Lost Connection spray.

“We leaned a lot more into holidays with the previous battle pass, so we decided to have some holiday fun with this one as well. That’s why we’ve included so much more Valentine’s Day-themed content through the “Be Mine” cards as well as a few other Valentine’s items,” explained Senior Producer, Preeti Khanolkar.

“We’re also continuing several series, such as the Unstoppable // Sage Card, the Bind Schema Card, and the Chicken Out buddy. He was a chicken dinner in the last battle pass, so now you’ll see that he’s okay”.
