Valorant Episode 7 Act 2 Battlepass RetroLA collection details
Valorant's Battlepass is a great way for players to earn numerous in-game cosmetics for their weapons at a bargain price of $9.99. As such, the RetroLA collection is a great addition to this Episode's BP, featuring a unique, fresh aesthetic.
Riot Game's talented team of designers ensures that there's enough variation in every Episode's Battlepasses to make it a viable investment for players looking to get their first melees (or even entire collections) at a low price point.

The newest RetroLA skin collection for Valorant will arrive with the game's Episode 7 Act 2 update. The update patch will go live on August 29, 2023, or August 30, 2023, depending on your region. Upon updating the game client, you will have access to the RetroLA collection.
RetroLA collection price
The RetroLA skin collection is part of Valorant's Episode 7 Act 2 Battlepass. This cosmetic collection will not be available as a standalone bundle and will only be accessible upon purchasing the Battlepass for 1000 Valorant Points (VP) and completing the required tiers.
RetroLA collection’s design
Game Producer Mingxi Zou commented that the RetroLA skin collection has been inspired by Los Angeles's iconic sunsets and its impressive street culture. Commemorating the Champions tournament, the skin line features a vibrant paint finish, highlighting a beautiful sunset across the horizon.
The skins have great visual appeal, combining beautiful complimentary colors. Fans will be excited to know that the weapons do feature a minimalistic animation of clouds floating across the horizon, which adds a touch of character to the entire collection.
