Welcome to Valorant Season 2025, gamers! At the beginning of 2025, Valorant introduces many significant changes, including a new agent, map rotations, rank armor, and new battle passes. Follow and bookmark LootBar as we reveal all the details one by one!
Valorant Season 2025 First Patch - Patch 10.00
New Agent - Tejo
With Patch 10.00, Tejo joins valorant! Tejo, a Colombian intelligence operative with explosive abilities that promise to shake up the battlefield. Visit this Blog if you want to learn more about him: Unveiling VALORANT New Agent Tejo: Abilities, Release Date and More!
Map Rotations
Starting with patch 10.00, maps will rotate every Act. Valorant will share updates about the map pool for each Act, announcing the next rotation shortly after the current Act begins.
Patch 10.00 Map Rotation:
- Fracture and Lotus are returning to the Competitive and Deathmatch queues.
- Ascent and Sunset are being removed from the Competitive and Deathmatch queues.
Automatic Remake Voting
If a player goes AFK in the first round, a remake vote will now start automatically. Passing the vote requires only a majority of the remaining players.
Example: Previously, if one player was AFK, all four remaining players had to vote yes for the remake. Now, only three out of the four remaining players need to vote yes for the remake to succeed.
Rank Armor, RR Refund System - Future Feature in the Rank
Rank Armor is coming to VALORANT. It is a buffer to ensure you don't fall between major ranks. For instance, if you lose a match at Diamond 1 with 0 RR, you won’t be immediately demoted to Platinum 3. You’ll use rank armor to prevent yourself from being demoted to Plat!
And RR Refund System is also coming soon! You can refer to the Rank Point Refund System of the Rainbow Six: Siege. But one thing different is, this refunded points will take effect after you complete your next ranked match in this Act.
New Cosmetic Item - Flex
Valorant is introducing a new content type called Flex, a creative equippable designed for self-expression. Think of it as something you can hold in-game, as expressive as a melee weapon but without gameplay constraints. However, these animations won't be visible from a third-person perspective. Finally, FLEX items won't impact agent speed. If you're holding a FLEX item, your movement will remain at ability speed.
Valorant Season 2025 Act 1 Battle Pass - V25A1 Battle Pass
As the first battle pass of the Valorant 2025 Season, V25A1 Battle Pass could be the best battle pass ever! You can dual wield the battle pass knifes and that is awsome! You can refer to the previous melee weapon skin "Prosperity & Demise"。What's more, many high quality-skins are waiting for you to unlock! Here are the skins in the pass that are worth unlocking and using!
V25A1 Battlepass Hieroscape Skinline
V25A1 Battlepass Celestia Skinline
These are probably the best-designed weapon skins in this battle pass, and it is recommended that you unlock them.
Year of the Snake Event Pass
China will usher in the Year of the Snake in 2025. By completing weekly tasks and logging in daily to play a few games, you can easily unlock all the content in the battle pass. Even better, it includes a free 20 RP!
Valorant 2025 VCT Bundles
The 2025 VCT Bundles will be released on January 9, 2025. In addition to a unique skin design, this bundle also introduces inspection animations. Purchasing a bundle for a team that has won championship trophies will display the number of trophies in the inspection animation!
