Following Pearl's debut in June 2022, Lotus, the game's ninth map, was just unveiled by Riot Games and Valorant. The architecture of Lotus, which is situated in the Western Ghats of Omega Earth's India, has been influenced by Dravidian-style buildings, ancient Indian step-wells, and rock-cut architecture. As they explore this forgotten metropolis, which has a 3-site map similar to Haven, players will come across a few new environmental dynamics including rotating doors and destructible walls.
Additionally, Episode 6 Act I debuts a brand-new Battlepass and the Araxys skin line. The Battlepass will include goods like a 9 LIVES classic gun skin, where you'll be able to create an entire team of Agents as cats. This item was inspired by the events taking place throughout the world around this time, including New Year’s, Valentine's Day, and Lunar New Year.
The Battlepass also includes a Folded Wish gun buddy and Shock Heart spray. Players can obtain weaponry from a strange, potentially hostile, alien race thanks to the Araxys skin line. They conquered the stars almost unmatched with this weaponry thanks to technological advancements beyond human comprehension, which are today considered their legacy. Fancy lore for a weapon skin, eh?
