The Valorant Battlepass is divided into 10 chapters, each consisting of five tiers, and an Epilogue with five additional tiers. The Premium Edition includes the five tiers in each chapter, but once you complete them, you can also receive the free chapter rewards by earning enough XP.

The Valorant Episode 6 Act 2 Battlepass offers various free rewards for completing each chapter, including a player card, a gun buddy, a spray, a player title, and Radianite Points. In the epilogue, you can receive a golden "Lucky Star" gun buddy, 30 Radianite Points, and a golden "Setting Records" player card.

New Valorant Agent
Gekko, the Valorant Agent 22, hails from Los Angeles and will serve as an initiator in the game. He is the sixth Agent to join the Initiator class, following in the footsteps of Sova, Breach, Skye, KAY/O, and Fade. Prior to his official announcement, Gekko was referred to as 'SmokeDancer' by a well-known leaker named 'ValorLeaks'.
According to Joe Killeen, Gekko's Narrative Writer, naming Gekko's abilities presented a unique challenge compared to previous agents. Each ability is embodied by one of Gekko's companions, who are characters in their own right.
Valorant Gameplay
Valorant is a tactical hero shooter game set in the future where players take on the role of agents, who are characters from various countries and cultures. The game involves two teams with five players each, and players are assigned to either the attacking or defending team. Agents have unique abilities that require charges, as well as an ultimate ability that requires charging through various means such as kills, deaths, orbs, or objectives. At the start of each round, players are given a "classic" pistol and some "signature ability" charges, but they can purchase additional weapons and ability charges using an in-game economic system that awards money based on the outcome of the previous round, kills, and objectives completed. The game offers a variety of weapons, including submachine guns, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, and sidearms.
