Price
The Premium Battle Pass for Act 3 will cost 1,000 Valorant Points, as per previous seasons.
New Agent
Each "Act" of Valorant has added a new character, and we expect this one to do the same.
The game's roster is now comprised of 15 Agents, and we'll update this more as we hear about Agent 16.
For now, we have this tease from @Valorleaks showing a video with the translation of "In times of war, do not be afraid of bombs" – could our next Agent be focused on explosives, or diffusing them?
Modes
Riot has been experimenting with new modes that focus on shorter play, but whether a new one will join the lineup in April is anyone's guess.
Battle Pass Rewards And Weapon Skins
The new battle pass will cost the same as previous battle passes, 1,000 VALORANT Points, or roughly $10.
As always, we're expecting the following rewards in the Battle Pass:
- Gun Buddies
- Sprays
- Weapon Skins
- Variants
