Guide to purchasing VALORANT’s battle pass

Riot Games Introduces Seasonal Battle Pass for VALORANT

Riot Games has joined the ranks of popular online games by introducing fully-fledged battle passes for VALORANT on a seasonal basis. These battle passes offer players the chance to collect unique cosmetic items, including skins and gun buddies. Not only do they add a sense of progression to the game, but they also provide an extra incentive for players to climb up the ranked ladder.

The battle pass rewards players based on the amount of time they spend playing the game. As you play, you will earn more and more rewards. On average, it takes about 100 hours to complete a standard battle pass, with the amount of XP needed increasing each week.

If you start in the first week, you’ll earn a total of 28,350 XP, while the final week offers 60,750 XP. This means that completing the battle pass should not be too difficult. However, if you’re a casual player who doesn’t play frequently, you may need to invest more time into the game to finish it in time.

There are two versions of the battle pass: a free version and a premium version. The premium version offers even better rewards and unlocks as you progress.

As the season goes on, the quality of the battle pass rewards improves. Initially, you’ll receive sprays, gun buddies, and titles. But as time goes on, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock weapon skins and even a melee skin.

How to Purchase the Battle Pass

The premium version of the battle pass costs 1,000 VALORANT points, which is approximately $10. To purchase it, simply log in to the game and navigate to the battle pass icon in the top-left corner of your client. Click on the icon and look for the option to upgrade to the premium version. Press the buy button and your battle pass will be activated.

If the icon is grayed out, it means you do not have enough funds to purchase the battle pass. In that case, go to the top-right corner of the client and click on the V symbol to access the options for buying VALORANT points.

With the introduction of the battle pass in VALORANT, players can now unlock a variety of cosmetic items and rewards by simply playing the game. It adds a new layer of progression and excitement to the gaming experience, making it even more enjoyable for fans of the popular first-person shooter.
