Sprays in the new update
Sprays in Valorant are great ways for players to communicate their feelings in a game. Riot Games makes sure to create fun sprays for players to use and have done the same with the new update as well. Additionally, many memes references have also been made with the Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 Battlepass.
Producer Laura Baltzer said the following regarding sprays in the new E7A1 Battlepass, “With our accessories, we try to find opportunities to create things that we hear our players talking about and laughing about in-game.” She mentioned that Smoke Maze spray and Pancake Pile-up sprays are directly inspired by the player experience when playing Valorant.
Also, the developers have shown their love for memes multiple times throughout updates. The same can be seen with Role Denial spray featuring Sage, which directly connects with Evil Kermit meme. They have also shown their love for anime memes by referring to Anya’s “Waku Waku” from Spy X Family through Breach.
Developers have been focused on making Battlepass fun so players can enjoy themselves while playing the competitive game. With this mentality, the entire Battlepass has been developed for Valorant Episode 7 Act 1.
Weapon skins
The Valorant Episode 7 Act 1 update will arrive with three weapon collections: Blush, Composite, and Digihex. Laura Baltzer, the Producer, said the following about creating the skins, “We had a lot of fun playing with color in this pass. From Blush to Digihex, we found a lot of inspiration in color. “All these skins were created hoping every player finds a skin that fits their taste.
The Blush skin line is themed on the color pink and uses a liquid texture that remains static. This skin will be available for Operator, Guardian, Spectre, and Frenzy. This skin adds more details to the matte-finished weapon body by introducing pink textured wraps.
