As for the battle pass, it will be centered around “myths and legends.” Riot Games producer Laura Baltzer describes the battle pass as something that was inspired by “different cultures and stories.” Some of the new weapon skins players can get upon grinding the premium version (still priced at 1,000 VP or $9.99) of the battle pass include the Piedra del Sol skin line, which is inspired by Aztec art and mythology.
A new free event pass will also be available for players, which is dedicated to celebrating Champions 2022. Of course, the usual competitive reset will also take place.
Here are the full notes for VALORANT Patch 5.04.
