"I somehow turned into a Valorant player card": Valorant community surprised as Riot turns epic clip into player card

In a surprising turn of events, a Valorant fan's Reddit clip has made its way to the Episode 8 Act 3 Battlepass as a player card titled Radiant Reaction Card. The clip featured user u/skepia_cutie slicing a KAY/O knife with their Oni Katana in an action that seemed to be straight out of an action movie.

After the player card was discovered in the latest Battlepass, u/skepia_cutie posted on Reddit:

"So i woke up to my friend spamming me on discord that i somehow turned into a valorant player card. ngl i kind of thought they were lying and then i found on twitter this thing lol"

so valorant found my clip and turned it into a player-card byu/skepia_cutie inVALORANT

The KAY/O knife ability, called ZERO/point, suppresses opposing Agents. It prevents them from using any ability for a brief moment.

You can shoot at the knife to destroy it, but a scenario where you use your melee to slice it mid-air is something that is unheard of.

u/King_Pyjamas, a teammate of Reyna player u/skepia_cutie, had posted their POV on Reddit a year back, and the video garnered quite a lot of attention, including from some Riot devs.

A Riot software engineer, u/RiotCombatCube, had commented:

"You call that a knife? This is a knife!"

Lead Producer of Cosmetic Content at Riot, u/Riot_Preeti, had also seen the post, and many members of the community believe it was one of these employees who had a part in immortalizing this unique animation with a player card.

Members of the Valorant community were enthralled at this latest addition, with some lauding it as "cool as hell." u/bigmajorloser2 commented:

"This ****s cool as hell. I was wondering what was the idea behind this player card."

Another user u/Alyycakes expressed their joy in finding out the origin behind their favorite player card from the Valorant Episode 8 Act 3 Battlepass:

"Out of all the cards in the BP, this one was my favorite. So, I'm happy I now know what the origin/meaning was behind it, lol. Awesome clip btw!"

This isn't the first time Riot Games has paid homage to a content creator or the community for their hilarious antics. The developer is known to immortalize such unique moments, and this player card adds to existing community-related content, which started with Finest's "Revive Me Jett" voice comms.

Some members of the community, like u/Best_Calendar2307 and others, believe a coveted Riot Gun Buddy for u/skepia_cutie would have also been great.

However, u/skepia_cutie said a player card that immortalizes their moment in the game is so much more than a Gun Buddy, and many members of the community seemed to agree.
