Valorant Episode 5 Act 3 Battle Pass: Release date, weapon skins, player cards, and more

A new Act is on the horizon for Valorant players as Riot Games is gearing up to launch Episode 5 Act 3 later next week. Act 3 will bring a plethora of things to the competitive FPS, including a fresh Battle Pass filled with sprays, gun buddies, skinlines, and the long-anticipated Indian Controller Agent, Harbor.

A new Battle Pass means players get to grind to unlock all that the pass has to offer. Each pass consists of 55 tiers, and players will have two months to complete it. Although Valorant's Battle Pass does provide free rewards, the majority of the cosmetics are locked behind a Premium version that costs 1000 Valorant Points (VP).

So when is the new Battle Pass coming out and what does it bring?
