The Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 is here, and it introduced a lot of new content and some exciting changes. Among the avalanche of content, we have a new and highly anticipated Battle Pass.
Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass is one of the best Battle Passes in recent memory, delivering some unique-looking skins, and perhaps the best melee weapon skin in the game.
So let's find out everything about it.
Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass release date
The Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass arrived at the game on Wednesday, 10 January, at around 7pm ET/12am GMT.
As mentioned above, this Battle Pass introduced some great skinlines, and will also bring new Playercards, sprays, gunbuddies, and much more. Without further ado, let's take a look at the Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass skins.
Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass skins
As usual, the Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass costs 1000 Valorant Points. It maintains the same structure as previous Battle Passes, with players needing to play games and complete missions to progress through the Battle Pass and claim its rewards.
Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass brought three new Skinlines. These Skinlines are called Fiber Optic, Guardrail, and Tactiplay.
Guardrail skinline
The Guardrail skinline has received high praise from the Valorant community. To many, this is the best skinline in this Battle Pass and is among the best Battle Pass skinlines ever.
Its unique design pattern, which is especially visible in the weapon grip, makes it stand out. Guardrail weapons also have a sophisticated yet cold look, which will strike fear in the hearts of your opponents.
This collection includes skins for the Vandal, Frenzy, Shorty, and Guardian.
Fiber Optic skinline
The Fiber Optic skinline is your standard Battle Pass skin, which looks okay but doesn't look unique, and also doesn't excel in any of its design features. It has four different colour variants, but none of them has animations.
The Valorant community isn't thrilled about this skinline, and honestly, there isn't much to be thrilled about it. This collection includes skins for the Spectre, Ghost, Marshal, and Classic.
Tactiplay skinline
If you like skins with a "toy gun" look, such as the Radiant Crisis 001 or the BlastX skins, then the Tactiplay skinline is perfect for you.
While Guardrail strikers fear in opponents' hearts, Tactiplay does exactly the opposite. It has a cute design and depicts four animals in all of its skins. This collection includes skins for the Bulldog, Odin, Phantom, and the Stinger.
Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass other rewards
As mentioned above, the Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass includes other cosmetics rewards, such as Playercards, sprays, and gunbuddies.
Without further ado, let's take a look at them.
Playercards
The Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass introduced 13 new Playercards, with all of them having a unique look and feel. One of them even showcases Omen with the new Valorant weapon, the Outlaw Sniper.
Sprays
15 new sprays arrived in the Episode 8 Act 1 Battle Pass, with most illustrating situations players often go through in-game, such as deciding which bombsite to attack or asking your teammates to fall back.
Gunbuddies
This new Battle Pass also introduced ten new Gunbuddies, who look incredibly good. They are perfect to use on the new Kuronami or Outlaw Sniper bundle.
