Are you a dedicated VALORANT player? If yes, then you’ll be thrilled to know that the highly anticipated VALORANT Episode 8 Act II Battle is set to be released soon, bringing with it a plethora of new skins and rewards like Gun Buddies, Play Cards, Sprays, Tactiplay, Guadrail, and FiberOptic for players to claim and enjoy.
Players hoping to see and try out the new skins and rewards that will be added to the game should first look to claim all the pending Episode 8 Act I Battle Pass rewards and skins, as this new battle pass will replace the contents of the previous one entirely.
