VALORANT just wrapped up Masters London, and Riot used the big stage to drop a flood of Season 2026 Act 4 news. Buried in all of that is the new Battlepass, and the leaks, plus the official reveal, have given us a full look at what is coming. If you have been waiting to see what the next pass holds before deciding whether to spend your VP, here is everything we know so far.
When Does the VALORANT S26A4 Battlepass Release?
The Season 2026 Act 4 Battlepass goes live on June 24, 2026, landing right alongside the new map Summit and the 3v3 Retake mode.
So you will not be waiting around. The moment Act 4 drops, the pass is yours to grind through, and you will have the full length of the act to climb its tiers before everything resets again.
VALORANT S26A4 Battlepass Price
Nothing has changed on the pricing front. The premium track will cost you 1,000 VP, which is the standard rate for every act pass in VALORANT. As always, the free track is open to everyone, but the bulk of the good stuff, including the melee, is locked behind that premium purchase.
VALORANT S26A4 Battlepass Skins
Sky Reaper Sword: The Tier 50 Melee
Let us start with the headliner, because the melee is always the reason most people buy the pass in the first place. The Sky Reaper Sword is a sleek, dark blade with a clean, futuristic build and a sharp green accent running along the guard. It has that stealthy, almost military feel to it, the kind of melee that looks great whether you are inspecting it in the menu or pulling it out mid-round to flex. It is not loud or flashy, and that restraint is exactly why it works.
The Sky Reaper Ghost sits on the free track, so even players who skip the premium pass walk away with a piece of the set. The Ghost carries the same green and gunmetal styling, and it can be upgraded with Radianite, so you are not stuck with a single base look.
Sky Reaper Bundle: Green Tech Energy
The full Sky Reaper line leans hard into that aerial combat theme, with crisp metallic frames and those signature green highlights tracing the rails. Across the weapons, you get a consistent, grounded sci-fi look that feels right at home for players who like their loadouts clean rather than cluttered. It is one of the more cohesive battlepass skinlines we have seen in a while, and the fact that it bridges both the free and premium tracks is a nice touch.
Intertwine Bundle: Purple and Pink Flair
If the Sky Reaper set is the subtle option, the Intertwine bundle is the loud one. This collection swaps the green for a moody purple and pink palette, with glowing accents that pop against the darker metal. The set spans a rifle, an SMG, a sniper, and a shotgun, and it carries a sleeker, more stylish vibe than the other two lines in the pass. The Intertwine Guardian is the standout pull here, so if purple is your color, this is the one to chase.
Tacti-Guild Phantom: A Playful Change of Pace
Then there is the Tacti-Guild Phantom, which goes in a completely different direction. Instead of sci-fi or mystical themes, this one is all charm. The skin wraps the Phantom in a cartoon scene full of cute little adventurer characters, a wizard duck, an armored knight, a bunny ranger, and more, all set against a storybook backdrop.
It is goofy in the best way, and it adds some much-needed personality to a pass that otherwise plays it pretty cool and serious. If you like your skins with a bit of humor, this is the standout.
Buddies, Cards, Sprays, and the Rest
Beyond the weapons, the pass is packed with the usual mix of accessories. The free track hands you the Binding Thread Buddy, the Heal Up Squad Card, and the On Your Feet Spray, all leaning into the wider VALORANT story.
The premium track stacks on more, including the Boom Ball Flex, the Prooooowler Buddy, the Unstoppable // Iso Card, the Soft and Deadly Card, plus the Blep and Unimpressed sprays. There is even a V26 Act 4 commemorative coin buddy in the mix for collectors. It is a solid haul of extras, and the variety of sprays and cards should give most players something they actually want to equip.
Should You Buy the S26A4 Battlepass?
This pass covers a lot of ground. You get the understated cool of the Sky Reaper melee, the flashy purple Intertwine set, and the lighthearted Tacti-Guild Phantom, so there is genuinely something for every type of player. Throw in a generous spread of buddies, cards, and sprays, and the 1,000 VP price tag looks pretty reasonable. If you plan on playing through Act 4 anyway, especially with a brand new map and mode to dive into, the pass is an easy pickup.
Season 2026 Act 4 arrives on June 24, 2026, so you do not have long to wait before you can start grinding for that Sky Reaper Sword.
