The Battle Pass is a pivotal component of Valorant's cosmetic offerings. Riot Games has offered a preview of the Episode 8 Act 2 Battle Pass skins, and there have also been several leaks about the same. 13 weapon models, including the melee, will arrive in the form of distinct skins.
The Battle Pass will continue to be priced at 1,000 Valorant Points (VP), ensuring accessibility for those eager to enhance their in-game arsenal. The upcoming weapon skins, revealed by @tojajules on X, will likely be divided into three distinct collections: Retrowave, Shellspire, and Aquatica. Each will have a unique aesthetic.
The following skins will be available in the Battle Pass:
- Retrowave Sheriff
- Shellspire Phantom

- Retrowave Operator
- Aquatica Outlaw
- Shellspire Frenzy
- Aquatica Shorty
- Retrowave Bucky
- Aquatica Stinger
- Shellspire Spectre
- Aquatica Ares
- Shellspire Guardian
- Retrowave Bulldog
Notably, these skins draw inspiration from fan-favorite bundles like Gridcrash, Neptune, and Ion. However, further details about the Episode 8 Act 2 Battle Pass content are awaited.
A melee item named Shellspire Sword is set to arrive in the game, and it will likely feature the same animation as the Artisan Foil melee skin.
To get the skins, players must purchase the premium version of the Battle Pass, which will be available in the in-game store once Episode 8 Act 2 is live. The Battle Pass not only unlocks a wealth of cosmetic rewards but also rewards Radianite Points (RP), an in-game currency that can be used to upgrade weapon skins.
As players eagerly await official confirmation and further details from Riot Games, the anticipation for Episode 8 Act 2 continues to build.
