Episode 2 of Valorant is officially underway. With it comes a brand new agent, a brand new Act, and a brand new Battlepass. The Battlepass is one of the more exciting gaming features over the last several years. Valorant has done a wonderful job providing content, free or paid, for players to grind towards each Act.
Act I of Episode 2, Formation, is pretty standard when it comes to a Valorant Battlepass. It has ten chapters, each with five paid rewards and some free ones sprinkled throughout. At the end, players will find and Epilogue. This is just a small treat for completing the Battlepass with some extra rewards.

Stand Out Item: Infinity Bulldog
Right off the bat, players can earn one of the new, sleek Infinity skins. The Infinity Bulldog is the first tier and the first weapon within the Ep 2, Act I Battlepass. The green with hints of gold is absolutely beautiful and Bulldog diehards are going to love it.

Stand Out Item: EZ Spray
“GG EZ” is a term that Valorant players are all too familiar with. This spray will add insult to injury after any stellar performance. Slapping down the GG button and letting the enemy know it was an easy task is what competitive gaming is all about.

Stand Out Item: Salt Shaker Buddy
The term “salt” or “salty” basically means someone is upset or bitter at a situation. Just like the EZ Spray, gamers are very familiar with the phrase. Put the Salt Shaker Buddy on the side of a Judge and the opponent on the receiving end of it will be salty indeed.

Stand Out Item: Outpost Judge
The Judge is the second of the Outpost weapons found in the Ep 2, Act I Battlepass. The entire Outpost line is intriguing to say the least. The Judge shows it off well, with its long body. This gives it plenty of room to show off the skin’s theme.

Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: Aerosol Operator
Let’s be honest. There was never going to be any other reward from Chapter 5 as the Stand Out Item. The Aerosol skin series tags up weapons like the side of an alleyway dumpster. It is just plain cool. Everyone loves an Operator skin and this is just one more to add to the great list of options.

Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Make ‘Em Dance Spray
The Make ‘Em Dance Spray is a fun little add on to the spray roster. It exaggerates Raze’s Boom Bot into a cartoonish style, complete with robotic smiley face. The Boom Bot, as it sits on a surface, does a little dance. The wiggle it pulls off is actually kind of cute.

Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: Infinity Guardian
The Guardian is one of the coolest looking weapons in Valorant. It is slender, clean, and intimidating all at the same time. Adding the Infinity skin to it was a good choice by Riot Games. The weapon looks absolutely amazing.
Premium Rewards
Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Aerosol Odin
Much like the Operator, the Odin version of Aerosol deserves its place as the Stand Out Item of Chapter 8. There is so much room on the massive heavy weapon, it really gives the skin designers free rein. The graffiti on the Odin is great, and what stands out among the tagging, is the little “pew” near the tip of the gun.

Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Chill-Joy Card
Killjoy really changed the game of Valorant. Not only did it make teams adapt to her playstyle, it gave fans a character with some personality. She always has something snarky to say. It is nice to see her just hanging out with her little bot, drinking some coffee, and putting together who knows what kind of scheme on her computer.

Stand Out Item: Choose My Weapon Spray
What a wonderful concept. The Choose My Weapon Spray is probably the best spray in the Ep 2, Act I Battlepass. Every time it is sprayed onto a surface, it randomly rolls through the weapons until it lands on one. The animated sprays in Valorant were already great to begin with. This one tops it off.
Premium Rewards
Stand Out Item: Epilogue: Salt Shaker Buddy
The Epilogue is an added bonus for the Valorant players who grind through the Ep 2, Act I Battlepass. It doesn’t just end at Chapter 10, there is more to work for. The second Salt Shaker Buddy stands out among the tiny selection of rewards. Its a golden version of the one found earlier in the Battlepass. What more is there to say?
As always, the Battlepass can be purchased for 1,000 Valorant Points. At any time during the Act, players can purchase it and earn all of the rewards up to that point.
