00:00Valorant Act 5 is already giving us a lot to talk about, and we just got several new leaks and
00:04teasers that you definitely don't want to miss.
00:06So, let's break down everything.
00:07Let's start with the biggest leak.
00:09According to the leaked information, Riot is working on a brand new skin bundle.
00:13And unlike some of the recent premium collections, this one is reportedly going to include 4 weapon skins and 1
00:18melee.
00:18So, that's 5 cosmetics in total.
00:20But here's the interesting part.
00:21According to the leak, there are no upgrade levels for the weapons or the melee.
00:25Instead, the weapons and melee are reportedly going to have 3 variants each, including the base variant.
00:30Also, some leaks suggest this bundle includes Ghost, Stinger, Outlaw, Phantom, and a Dagger melee.
00:36What about the price?
00:37At the moment, we do not know the bundle's price.
00:39But based on the information, this skin could be a deluxe tier bundle.
00:42And the expected price is 5100 VP.
00:45Now, let's move over to VCT.
00:46We also have information about the VCT Stage 2 Playoffs rewards.
00:50The shot call page shown in the leak currently lists mystery rewards.
00:53With the rewards scheduled to be revealed on August 25th.
00:57And according to the leaked information, two of those rewards could be Miss Call Gun Buddy and Unpaid Analyst Player
01:03Title.
01:03Now, the important part here is that the leak itself suggests these are probably related to shot call.
01:09So, don't take those rewards as 100% confirmed just yet.
01:11But, if this information is accurate, we're getting another opportunity to earn some VCT-themed cosmetics.
01:16For anyone who doesn't know what shot call is, shot call is a desktop twitch extension used during official Valorant
01:22eSports broadcast to make real-time match predictions, score points, and earn in-game rewards.
01:28You can watch this video for more info.
01:30Link in the description.
01:31Now, let's get to something much more interesting.
01:33Riot has teased a new mode.
01:35The Act 5 developer update graphic specifically mentions September dev update and new experimental mode.
01:41And the developers apparently described the mode with the phrase, think KIO war simulation gone haywire.
01:46Now, that description immediately makes me curious.
01:49KEO is basically a combat robot designed specifically to fight radiance and suppress abilities.
01:53So, when Riot says, KIO war simulation gone haywire, it sounds like we're potentially getting something very different from a
02:00traditional Valorant match.
02:01Valorant has had plenty of limited time modes over the years.
02:04But, whenever Riot introduces something genuinely different, it gives players a reason to step away from ranked for a while
02:09and just have fun.
02:11We don't currently have enough information to explain exactly how this new mode works.
02:14So, I wouldn't start expecting specific mechanics yet.
02:17But, the description of the KIO war simulation definitely makes it sound chaotic.
02:20The only thing we can confidently take from the leak is that Riot has a new mode planned for the
02:24September update.
02:25And there's another small detail in Act 5's background.
02:28The artwork features two agents prominently in the center, surrounded by a red and white design.
02:32It might give us a hint about the mode, because Riot says KIO war simulation gone haywire.
02:36If you look at the background, you can see KIO looks different.
02:39So, we'll have to wait for Riot to actually explain it.
02:41And remember, most of the information we've talked about here comes from leaks or teasers.
02:46Not a complete official Riot announcement.
02:48That means things can still change.
02:49And as soon as Riot drops more information, I will update you.
02:52Which one are you most interested in?
02:53The new bundle, the free VCT rewards, or the experimental game mode?
02:57Let me know in the comments.
02:58And follow for more Valorant updates and leaks.
03:00A la hafi.
