Unveiling an array of goodies in the early access playtest, ONE Esports had the chance to review the BP, including all the new weapon skins, playful meme references, and a cryptic Easter Egg hinting at the imminent arrival of Valorant’s next agent.

Here are the five best Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass collectibles

Did you drop this? spray

Embrace the “Did You Drop This?” spray in Valorant to symbolize support and camaraderie. The spray has Phoenix handing out a crown, a supportful gesture often given online to those who are going through difficulty.

Demonstrating your support can make a significant impact, and this spray might be the boost your duo needs in a challenging ranked match.

Guardrail Vandal and melee

Discover the Guardrail Vandal and Melee skins, a sophisticated addition to any Valorant collection. The Vandal’s sleek design, reminiscent of an AK-47 skin, offers precision and style, while the Guardrail Melee’s hammer brings the grandeur of an epic weapon from an MMO RPG.

Together, they form a dynamic duo that seamlessly blends elegance and power, redefining the artistry of weaponry in the Valorant universe.

You wanna bet? player card

Valorant’s “You Wanna Bet?” player card is a showdown between the game’s fan-favorite duelists, Jett and Neon. Drawing parallels to the iconic question of Superman versus the Flash in the DC universe, this card teases fans with the age-old question of who is the fastest agent in Valorant.

Hopefully, Riot Games will do us a favor, and, one day, they will create a cinematic that would answer the question of who is the fastest agent.

Tactiplay Phantom

Discover the Tactiplay Phantom skin, a stylish addition to Valorant’s collection featuring a color scheme inspired by the initiator agent Gekko. This skin showcases a sleek design and highlights Valorant’s beloved mascots, the Tactifriends.

Perfect for collectors, the Tactiplay Phantom bundle is a must-have, offering a visually appealing upgrade for your weaponry and a nostalgic nod to the charming Tactifriends.

Chrysalis card

Speculation is rife among players, with many believing it to be a clever Easter Egg hinting at the new Valorant agent.

The card’s circular shape in the middle of the player card has fueled discussions, with some suggesting a connection to a smoke ability and the possibility of a new controller agent.

The new Valorant Battle Pass will cost players 1,000 VP.

When is the new Valorant Act?

Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 will be released on January 10.
