Valorant's latest Battle Pass offers a feast for players, providing three different collections of skins. Like the other Acts from Episode 3, Act 3 features an Operator skin that users who purchased the Battle Pass can acquire by completing mission tiers.
Valorant added a new skin for the Operator with the release of Magepunk 2.0, which carries over the effects from the initial Magepunk collection to more weapons. With bundles dropping every two weeks, gamers hardly run out of new designs to purchase.
