The third Episode of Valorant is officially underway. Episode 3, titled Reflection, is live with brand new Agent KAY/O and an almost brand new feel for how the game operates. As well, the Ep 3, Act I Battlepass is available for players to start unlocking the goodies that Valorant has become synonymous with. This Battlepass is no different than previous iterations. It contains 10 main Chapters and an Epilogue Chapter. Each Chapter contains five Premium Rewards and either one or two Free Rewards.
Here is Run It Back’s total overview of the Ep 3, Act I Battlepass and the stand out items from each chapter.
Premium Rewards
Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: K/TAC Sheriff
The K/TAC weapon skin set coincides with KAY/O. It looks really cool on most of the weapons in the Battlepass. For Chapter 1, the Sheriff stands out the most. It is the first item unlocked in the BP. Who doesn’t love another great Sheriff skin?
Premium Rewards
Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Naked OP Card
The player cards in Valorant just keep getting better and better. Chapter 2 rewards players with the Naked OP Card. It showcases a chiseled sculpture with nothing but a garment around his waist and an Operator in his hand. This is going to be a fan favorite, no doubt.
Premium Rewards
Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: Jigsaw Judge
The Jigsaw Judge is the second Jigsaw series weapon found in this Act’s Battlepass. It is Killjoy-themed with an interesting style. The puzzle pieces are rather sporadic, which makes it look quite ugly on some guns to be honest. This one hits just right, however.
Premium Rewards
Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Greatly Increased? Spray
The stand out item of Chapter 4 is the Greatly Increased? Spray. This is a call back to the Valorant competitive queue of the past. Players that performed well in competitive matchmaking would receive the Greatly Increased notification. This signified a boost in their ELO pushing them closer to a promotion. Though Valorant is only just over a year old, this causes some serious nostalgia.
Premium Rewards
Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: Rubber Ducky Buddy
Gun buddies are becoming more and more popular as Valorant ages. In Chapter 5 of this Battlepass, what stands out the most is the Rubber Ducky Buddy. Ernie from Sesame Street says it best. Rubber Ducky makes things lots of fun. And this one is decked out like Brimstone. What more could you ask for on the side of your gun?
Premium Rewards
Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Surprised Penguin Spray
Chapter 6 is arguably the least desirable of all in Episode 3, Act I. That doesn’t mean it is completely lost. The Surprised Penguin Spray rules. Penguins have become a staple of Valorant with Dabbing Dan. This is just him with a shocked expression. His little beanie is so cute.
Premium Rewards
Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: Jigsaw Guardian
The Guardian makes any skin look incredible. With Jigsaw, it slaps the puzzles pieces and Astra across its long body. The Jigsaw Guardian is a beautiful example of this new skin set. The other Jigsaw guns could learn a thing or two.
Premium Rewards
Free Reward
Stand Out Item: Monarch Marshal
The Monarch series truly is nothing special. The Marshal, on the other hand, has become a special weapon once more. It is seeing a lot of use with recent tuning adjustments by Riot Games. That means, players are going to want some fun skins to add to this low-priced sniper rifle. The Monarch Marshal will do just fine.
Premium Rewards
Free Reward
Stand Out Item: K/TAC Operator
The second to last main Chapter of the Battlepass brings the always coveted Operator skin for the Act. This time around, the Operator receives a skin from the K/TAC line. With the color beaming into the barrel of the gun and a few hints on the scope, the K/TAC Operator is a sleek weapon that is going to see its fair share of time on the battlefield.
Premium Rewards
Free Rewards
Stand Out Item: K/TAC Blade
Melee weapons are always unlocked near the end of the Battlepass. This one is no exception as players are rewarded with the K/TAC Blade. It isn’t the prettiest melee weapon in Valorant, but it looks really clean. For those who opt for the BP and don’t buy skins, this is a solid choice to take into the server.
Premium Rewards
Stand Out Item: Epilogue: Naked OP Card
The Naked OP Card is great. In the Epilogue, it gets a makeover with a golden version. The Operator next to the sculpture is pure gold, taking this player card to another level. Those who make it to the end of the Battlepass and then some are going to enjoy this card.
As is typical with the Valorant Battlepass, it can be purchased for 1000 Valorant Points. Players can also level up the tiers of their Battlepass before purchasing it and retroactively unlock any rewards up to the point.
