覆蓋的電子競技和世界各地有影響力的人。得到它!信貸:防暴遊戲/邁克斯塔布斯Valorant最近慶祝了它三歲生日,遊戲推出以來,已經越來越強大。新代理死鎖是其中一個最有趣的和有趣的增加遊戲的同時,代理商的整體平衡是一樣好,幾個失誤之後,新的和更新的地圖在高層玩時一貫是可行的。但Valorant的一個領域,顯示出它的年齡是戰鬥。當Valorant推出戰鬥沒有任何革命,複製公式,無數的其他遊戲使用了多年來提供一係列的美容項目,你解開你玩遊戲。但是現在,三年過去了,項目通過提供的戰鬥感覺無聊相比溢價一直添加到Valorant皮,和事件的發射7行動1隻會使問題變得更糟。每個戰役中通過將為9.99美元,因此你獲得50水平工作和解鎖美容項目。一些將皮武器,你真正想要的東西,而大多數其他化妝品如槍的夥伴,噴霧劑和物品展示在你的遊戲配置文件。從未令人難以置信的物有所值,但如果你玩足以解開一切你通常會得到12武器皮膚和近戰的皮膚在早期的Valorant是一個體麵的方式,以確保你不運行在無聊的默認皮膚。 But now, with three years of premium skins and battle passes behind us, the skins on offer in the battle pass feel more underwhelming than ever. The current battle pass for Episode 7 Act 1 features the Blush skins, which make your guns a bit pink, the Digihex skins, which make your guns blue, and the Composite skins, which make your guns orange and slightly change the shape of them. The current battle pass skins are very underwhelming, with this being the highlight of them all.

None of these skins can hold up against the fancy premium ones, and even past battle pass skins have looked significantly better. But the real death note for the battle pass in Valorant is the recent introduction of Kingdom Credits, the new free-to-earn currency that you can use to unlock previous battle pass content. Now, this isn’t a free way to earn skins, they remain exclusive to the battle pass for now, but the other content such as sprays, gun buddies and player cards are all available to buy with Kingdom Credits. With a rotating store of items from previous battle passes you can’t instantly jump in and cherry-pick whatever you want from previous battle passes, but as the weeks go on most if not all of the previous battle pass content will be available for free. So now, I look at the battle pass for Episode 7 Act 1 knowing that a lot of it will be available for free in a few months, and the only thing I’d really be paying for is the weapon skins and it feels incredibly underwhelming. The Kingdom Credits allow you to buy previous battle pass items.

It’s also something I want to purchase, having an overarching meta-game to earn rewards for playing is fun, and adds a sense of progression I’m never going to get from improving my rank as I’m not good at the game. Now, I’m not saying I have amazing solutions to this issue. The Kingdom Credits clearly aren’t going anywhere and do actually provide some value to entirely free-to-play players, while the simple answer of making better skins would cheapen the value of the premium skin lines which presumably make Riot a ton of cash. Challenges tied to the battle pass could improve things, as could exclusive game modes or mini-games, something Dota 2 has previously done to much success, basically anything to add a bit more value and interest to the battle pass. With Valorant’s success and rumored console port , it's likely that Riot doesn’t need to be selling a battle pass to every player, but with reasons to buy one quickly disappearing it wouldn’t be surprising if sales are starting to fall off. If that is the case then we may finally get some updates to the boring battle passes we have been getting recently, but until then I won’t be buying one again. Follow me on Twitter or LinkedIn .
