This should really get fixed. The soundfile is indeed connected to the "congrats you won the round" part of most people's brain at this point and it should absolutely not play when there is another player alive on the enemy team!
/u/aeneia Could you look into this? :3
I'll for sure bring it up to the team!
I have a question. Will the bp rewards be on the shop for money in the future? Its not clear atleast for me
I'm not sure about that!
I'll play like 25h a month ish. How long does the battle pass last or does it last forever. I need to know this cause I dont know if I'll be able to get to lvl 9 (my goal for the vandal dot exe skin)
Unfortunately, I'm not totally sure if you'll be able to get it. It depends on mission completions and things like that. Sorry I can't be of more help :(
Speaking of answers we should know, we should probably be able to see xp requirements of future tiers of contracts and the bp. Would have dodged a lot of controversy.
This is a great point - I think general clarity is a pain point for a lot of folks right now :(
What about those who play pugs/scrims? Unfortunately, custom games give no experience. To avoid people idling for rewards there can be a simple list of requirements: cheats off, minimum duration of a match - X (e.g., 20) minutes etc.
Oh! Being clearer on the XP requirements is a really good idea. I'll chat with my team and see if we can make that available somewhere (if it isn't already). Thanks for the heads up!
just so you know, not being upfront about that is a problem.
at 10€ for a battlepass that doesn't give back points to buy the next one, I expect to be able to complete it within my normal playtime which means 2-3 matches a day with some days/weeks off. it works on most battlepass games, like Destiny.
when I read "only top players are meant to get the last rewards", to me it reads "your 10€ will only be worth this much and you'll have to choose if you want to be a sucker for 3€ per level" because I can't magically make time appear while working all day, and Valorant isn't the only game I'd like to play if only to not burn out.
when I see the math on Reddit exceeding what I could put in in any realistic scenario, my first and only reaction is to ask for a refund and never buy it again.
Thanks for sharing your feels on this. I added an edit to help clarify for other players:
I should be clear here: When I say a "top percentage of players," I don't mean some crazy high, 98th percentile thing. If we find that NOT ENOUGH folks are completing it, that's a problem, too!
We definitely expect that some folks won't complete it, but that's super normal. Not everyone buys the pass with the intention of completing it. They just think, "If I play the amount I normally play, I'll get back enough stuff to make it worth the $10 I spent on it." I'm one of those people lol. So when I say "top %," it includes those folks too. I hope that makes sense!
I would have to disagree with the top tier item being something meaningful that only the top percentage will get. Had I known that was the goal I probably wouldn’t have purchased it.
I believe if we’re paying cash for a battle pass, it’s reasonable to expect that you can comfortably get it in the given time. 20 hours of gameplay a week seems like a rediculous commitment to have to make AFTER investing cash into the pass.
I mentioned this in a previous response, but I’ve paid for battle passes in other games and the first time I can’t complete the pass, I lose interest in all future passes. If I can reasonably acquire all the content I paid for then it’s a waste of money. Maybe Ive just been very fortunate in the games that I’ve played with battlepasses and I’m spoiled to expect that I can acquire content I’ve paid for.

AFAIK, it should be much closer to 10. I hope this helps :)
Could you share some insight on including Radianite points in free part of the Pass? As Radianite points are "useless" for both free players (they have no up-gradable skins) and paid pass users (none of Paid pass skins can be upgraded, right?) and for those who bought some simple skins from the shop, as they also aren't up-gradable. So, only people benefiting from Radianite points are those who already bought Bundle and, probably, bought a Pass, yet half of the Free Pass rewards are Radianite points. Is there any other use planed for them in the future for ftp and non-premium skin users? Right now it doesn't seem like a thought out decision.
Hey there! I can't speak to any concrete plans we have (or haven't) made, but I can say for sure that we're aware of this, and we're working on an alternative for our non-evolving-skin players :). There's a long list of things we want to change and polish, but if we ever wanted to get our game out the door, we couldn't have addressed all those things before launch. This BP Radianite issue is one of them. The good news is, our game is live, meaning we aren't stuck with all these issues! And this is up there on our list of things we want to :) Thanks for asking!

I think that makes sense...if you've got the completionist mindset, it can be super frustrating to feel like the final tier is out of reach. But it definitely shouldn't be 20 hours a week! It should be much closer to 10. (~100 hours over ~2 months, according to SWAGGERNAU7 and Milkcow). I'm curious...does the Battle Pass only feel worth it if you're able to complete it?
If I wasn't on reddit, I wouldn't even know this game had a battlepass. Even after reading this thread, it took a minute pressing everything in the main menu before I found it. If not enough people are buying the pass, this could be a contributor. I appreciate that the menus in this game are clean and not full of advertisement, but the battle pass could use some love.
Oh absolutely. I'm actively working on this right now lol. Thanks for bumping it!
Riot dev in another thread said they will retroactively award progress sometime after they hotfix
Retroactive reward granting is for earned battlepass & contract content, not missions I'm afraid.
Im always on game 9/10 for the mission, and it resets, every, f***, game after the 9, Im going insane
It should be fixed now my friend. Fix was deployed at 11pm last night PST and earlier for EU/Asia
This has made playing Valorant near impossible for me, due to the input lag, FPS drops and stuttering full screen windowed brings with it.
A fix soon would be appreciated so I can play again.
What is your monitor setup? You said two monitors - what is their native resolution? What resolution are they set to in Windows/Nvidia/AMD control? Can you add screenshots of your display settings?
Are you never able to swap to fullscreen, or are you required to swap around to different window resolutions as shown in the video first?
Are you using DSR?

If you see the launcher validating files after a crash it means the game detected corrupted files when trying to load game content. It should self-repair but if you see it more than once there may be an issue with your RAM or disk.
Hiko are you kidding me???
HE'S GONNA GO FOR IT, THEY WIN THE ROUND. HIKO PICKS UP A TRIPLE AND CLOUD9 WIN IT WHATTTT?
What hardware are you running on?
and if their reply is just "normal" the stickied comment its just an average comment with nothing super important
happens a lot. "oh, a rioter commented, i wonder what insight they will provide"
rioter 1: "UNBENCH THE KENCH"
rioter 2: "oh definitely, i'm a big fan of j cole"
love me some jcole
I've had my cypher traps fall through that floor so it might just be a collision issue instead
Good to know thanks! Will definitely do some destructive testing in that area.
Oooooh this is a great find will bring back to the team! My guess is that the spawn point of the drone snaps to the closest eligible location, which in this particular spot is through the ceiling there. Thanks for the report! Definitely not working as intended!
