Want to know how you can get your hands on VALORANT’s Episode 1 Premium Battle Pass? We thought we’d lay out everything you need to do right here.
The full release of Riot Game’s VALORANT dropped two days ago, and since then gamers all over the world have been sinking their teeth into the new FPS multiplayer (strangely enough, entailing some pretty disappointing reviews so far, but still). The game is now in its Episode 1 phase, and every Episode contains a series of Acts. For every Act, there is a new Battle Pass, both of which last for two months at a time.
In order to get this Episode’s Battle Pass, you’ll need to purchase 1,000 VALORANT points, which will cost you around 10 real-life US dollars. You can do so via the little “V” icon in the top-right of the game’s interface, selecting the appropriate amount of VALORANT points, and following the subsequent prompts in order to complete your purchase. You can now exchange those points for the Battle Pass.
To do so, direct your mouse to the star icon in the top-left corner of the game’s interface. When you click on that, you should see an option to buy the “Premium Upgrade” (to the right of the reward tiers.) Clicking on “Unlock” under said option will get you the Premium Battle Pass, at a cost of the 1,000 VALORANT points you just purchased.
And what will that actually get you? There are apparently 12 gun skins and one knife skin that you can unlock across the 50 tiers that the Pass covers. Plus, if you manage to complete the entire Pass, you’ll receive a nice little gift of 130 Radianite Points, which can then be used to update a bunch of other cool in-game skins.
