Valorant Episode 4 Act 1
Valorant currently has Episode 3 Act 3 ongoing and it is supposed to end within about 2 days. It will soon be replaced with a new episode and many new things will be introduced to the game. The game has successfully completed about 2 years and it is currently in a better position. From a new agent, to map changes, to a brand new Battle Pass and more, we have a lot to talk about!
Valorant Episode 4 Act 1- Release Date
According to the developers, the new episode is scheduled to come out on 11th January 2022, which is the upcoming Tuesday. Like the acts, Act 1 of EP 4 is supposed to run for about 2 months.
Valorant Episode 4 Act 1 Battle Pass
Let’s talk about the best part of the update and yes, we are referring to the new Battle Pass. It has so much to offer for such a cheap price. The Battle Pass will cost 1,000 VP (about 700 INR) and players will get three different skin lines, a beautiful knife, eye-catching player banners and other goodies.
1) Hydrodip Skin Line
The first one out of the three is the Hydropdip skin line. It is surely unique and looks better than most average Battle Pass weapon skins. However, out of the three, it is our least favourite one. Either way, it offers skins for (without any variations);
- Bucky
- Frenzy
- Guardian
- Judge
2) Schema Skin Line
The second one that the Battle Pass has to offer and is currently our second favourite out of the others. Fans that loved the Valorant Minima collection will surely prefer the Schema skin line. It is subtle yet the red lines make it stand out amidst others. It offers skins for (without any variations);
- Odin
- Sheriff
- Stinger
- Vandal
3) Velocity Skin Line
The third and our favourite one on the list, the Velocity skin line steals the show without any second thought. The cheerful colour scheme and graphics over the weapons, with options for variation, makes it worth the XP grind. It offers skins for the weapons listed below;
- Bulldog
- Spectre
- Phantom
- Shorty
- Knife
There are 4 variations with the colour scheme ranging from Orange to Yellow, Purple and Aquamarine. The Knife, on the other hand, is also from the Velocity collection and offers all 4 variations. The Knife model offered is Karambit and it looks much better than the one that was offered in an earlier Battle Pass.
Other Things in the Battle Pass
There will be upgrade tokens, player banners, player cards, Spray, Weapon Buddies and more that will also be offered with the Battle Pass.
New Agent

Valorant is going to have a brand new agent introduced to the game. Her name is Neon and she will be a duelist in the game. She goes by the codename Agent 19 and features tons of new abilities to look out for. If you want a more detailed guide over Neon’s abilities then let us know down in the comments.
Other Changes and Patch Notes
For now, we have no insights over the new official patch notes, however, we will keep you posted when something is known.
For now, all we have gathered are a few map changes that will be coming to the game maps.
