  • Year One Gun Buddy

  • Year One Card

  • EP 3 // Reflection Card

  • YR1 and Year One Titles

  • 20 Radianite Points

Valorant Senior Producer Preeti Khanolkar revealed “We were inspired by how much players love some of the exclusive Closed Beta content, like the Beta Watch Card and the V1.0 Title. We thought it would be fun to feature Jett doing something low-key, so we designed the Year One Card as if Jett were baking a cake in her kitchen and also made one of the slices of cake into a gun buddy.”

The third Episode card that features the game’s newest agent KAY/O and other agents is available in the event pass. She revealed that the decision to add Radianite Points to the event pass was because the final free tier in the Episode 3 Act 1 Battle Pass is the Jigsaw Ghost. Each variant of the Jigsaw Ghost has a different agent and Riot Games wanted players to choose their favorite option between Yoru, Skye, Astra and Killjoy.
