Valorant Episode 3 Reflection Act 1 introduces a new battlepass

Valorant Episode 3 Reflection Act 1 introduces a new battlepass for players to grind. Similar to previous battle passes, Episode 3 Act 1 introduces 3 new weapon sets.

Senior Producer Preeti Khanlokar said regarding the battlepass,

As with every battlepass, we always want to create content that appeals to a wide and diverse audience. A player might not love every single thing in the battlepass, but there should always be at least one thing that they absolutely love. For this pass, we wanted it to feel very much like a reflection on the past because it’s been one year since the game launched. That’s why we created the K/TAC and Jigsaw gun skins as callbacks to our lore and agents. Lately, we’ve also tried to just create stuff that players will find funny, like the“Too Heavy” and “Clutch or Kick” sprays. If we’re cracking up over something, we hope that players will find it funny too, like some of the memey Jett sprays we’ve done in the past

The battle pass consists of both free tiers and paid tiers, the latter of which players can unlock with 1,000 VP. With the sprays, the Valorant design team further embraces the meme culture by introducing fun sprays that reference community activities.

Here are the winners of the Karma Give Back Bundle! Purchase the bundle from June 22–July 8, and 50% of the proceeds from Weapon skins and 100% from accessories in the Give Back Bundle, will go towards the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, in partnership with Impact Assets. pic.twitter.com/pXyiXsaMXO
