Battle Pass

The is a cosmetic system in VALORANT that allows players to unlock a variety of cosmetics as they earn experience through missions and match XP. 
Each act has its own pass, and every new act closes progress on the current pass and resetting all players back to the beginning of the new pass. All players can unlock cosmetics rewards from the act pass, but most of that pass' content can only be unlocked by paying to get access to the Premium track.
Occasionally, additional event passes are released within an act to celebrate an occasion.
==Summary==
Battle Passes are split into tiers and chapters. Players progress through a pass by earning XP from dailies and missions, and playing match-made game modes.
===Act Battle Pass ===
Every act, a new act Battle Pass is launched that lasts for the duration of the act (about two months). Each act pass has 55 tiers grouped into 11 chapters; chapters 1-10 and a final Epilogue chapter, with 5 tiers in every chapter. Players start with Tier 1 completed. The amount of XP required to complete Tier 2 is 2,000, and for every tier after that (except for Epilogue Tiers), the amount of XP required to complete that tier increases by 750:
\pagecolor{Black}\color{Black}{\rm XP\ to\ complete\ a\ specific\ tier}=(Tier\ number\times 750)+ 500
Each Epilogue tier requires 36,500 XP. This means the total amount of XP required to complete the pass is 1,162,500 XP, and 980,000 XP is required to reach Chapter 10/Tier 50.
There are two tracks in the act pass; Free and Premium. The free track gives all players rewards with every chapter they complete, as well as access to all Epilogue rewards. The Premium track, which costs to get access to, boosts Battle Pass XP gains from playing matchmade games (mission XP excluded) by 3% and gives these players additional rewards for every tier they complete. Players earn progress for tiers regardless of whether they have bought access to the Premium track or not. This means players can buy access to the Premium track weeks after the act begins to retroactively unlock the rewards they earned while on the free track. The 3% XP boost however is not applied retroactively and only takes effect for every game played after the player unlocked the Premium track. Premium track players can also automatically earn progress to reach a specific tier they haven't unlocked by paying for every tier that needs to be completed to reach the player's target. This cannot be used for Epilogue tiers.What is the VALORANT Battlepass?
Act passes contain weapon skins, accessories (player cards, buddies, sprays, player titles), and Radianite Points. The amount of each type of cosmetic in this pass can vary, but for the free track it is always the same: 
*Tiers 1-50
**3 player cards
**3 buddies
**3 player titles
**2 sprays
**3 lots of (excluding Episode 01: IGNITION: Act 2, which had 2 lots of )
**1 sidearm weapon skin
*Epilogue
**1 player card
**1 buddy or spray
**3 lots of 
Players with access to the Premium track will earn additional cosmetics and RP, with the exception of player titles (all Act Pass player titles are part of the free track). These include access to three new collections of weapon skins, two of which will be Select Edition and one of which will be Deluxe Edition. The Tier 50 reward for Premium Track owners will always be a Melee skin. The Epilogue chapter also has set rewards; golden variants of two rewards from this pass (cosmetics eligible for golden variants are cards, buddies, and sprays), unlocked at tiers 1 and 5, and three lots of , unlocked at tiers 2, 3, and 4.
When a new act arrives, a new pass with new content begins and the previous pass becomes unavailable, with its weapon skins no longer being able to be obtained by any means. Once an act battle pass is no longer one of the three most recent passes to have been released, its accessory content will become eligible to appear in a player's weekly Offers in their Accessory Store, where players can unlock past items using Kingdom Credits.
===Event Pass===
Occasionally, there will also be an additional pass available in an act, usually to celebrate an ongoing event. These event passes always use a free track containing accessories and Radianite Points.

==History==
During a Q&A with DrLupo during the beta, Riot developers stated that a Battle Pass would be coming to VALORANT after launch. On June 2nd, 2020, the first Battle Pass was introduced on the release day of VALORANT with 50 tiers.
The Pass received updates with IGNITION: Act 3's launch, adding the Epilogue chapter and making sure one of the weapon skin themes had variants so that players who only bought Battle Passes could finally spend their RP on somethingWhat's New in VALORANT Act IIIBuild me a VALORANT Battlepass.
Episode 3 contained the first additional battle pass other than the Act Pass. The YR 1 Anniversary Pass was added to celebrate VALORANT's first anniversary, with all its rewards on a free track. This pass was only available for the first patch of the episode, 3.0. In 3.05, the 3% XP bonus was added.
At the launch of Episode 6, Premium Content developers revealed that they were working on creating ways for players to unlock past battle pass cosmetics to give them a way of obtaining something they may have missed, while also doing so in a in a way that didn't feel bad for the other players who originally unlocked those cosmetics when they were first available under the impression that they were limited-time products that would not be coming back to availability. In Episode 7, the Accessory Store and Kingdom Credits were launched, allowing players to freely earn KC which they could then use in the Accessory Store to purchase old battle pass accessories.Episode 6 Livestream: Premium Content working on bringing back old cosmetics
Episode 7 Act 2's pass was the first to contain a weapon skin from a fourth collection within the pass, with the standalone RDVR Phantom skin.
