COMMUNITY BATTLEPASS

The community battlepass follows the same concept of battlepass with a twist. Usually, Riot introduces the battlepass as a process to earn exciting rewards just by playing the game. But this time around, players from the community can vote which Sprays, Gun Buddies and titles they deem best for their own region.

After the voting period ends, the top voted rewards will be added to the community battlepass, which will be available for the duration of June 13th to June 25th.

YR1 EVENT PASS

Riot also promised to introduce a new pass system which will be given out to every single Valorant player, free of cost. This pass will contain Episode 3 Player Card, a Gun Buddy, etc. While these rewards seem basic at first, they are different in their own manner.

All drops will feature exclusive items from previous battlepasses that came before. The YR1 Event pass will be available from June 23th to July 6th.

PLAYER CARDS

As Valorant celebrates its YR1 Events, the players will be handed three Player Cards from the three previous Episodes. The Valorant players will be given three chances to redeem these three Player Cards. Here is how to get them:

• Episode 1 Player Card: No set information is given on where to redeem this card from. The card will be available on June 9.
• Episode 2 Player Card: The player card will be redeemable on June 14 through a special YR1 Prime Gaming Drop.
• Episode 3 Player Card: This Player Card will be given out as a reward for the YR1 Event Pass.
