What is in the Valorant Episode 5 Act 1 battle pass?

Launching on June 22 and running for 10 weeks (until August 31), there are three different skin lines included with the Episode 5 Act 1 battle pass, as well as accessories like player cards, titles, sprays, and gun buddies.

Setting out to produce skins that are “powerful and dynamic,” Producer Laura Baltzer explains “Shimmer is a sparkling skinline with enough variants to fit perfectly into any collection.

“Spitfire is our artistic take on those players who just press W and want their weapons to reflect that as well. Finally, Task Force 809 is a tactical, sleek skinline with an assassin knife that will hopefully make those calculated backstabs intensely satisfying.”

“The We Can Do It spray shows our favorite Australian Initiator encouraging her teammates… You can even flex on teammates and enemies alike with the Waddle Walk Animated Spray.”

Isn’t the little Tasmanian Tiger/Wolf/Donkey adorable?!
