Valorant’s upcoming Act 2 content update will drop on August 4 and will bring with it a slew of new things for players to experience. There will be a new Valorant Agent, Killjoy, a new line of skins called Glitchpop, and even a new mode called Deathmatch, which will be Valorant’s version of a free for all game type. The new Battle Pass will also introduce unique unlockables, including gun skins, gun buddies, sprays, player cards, player titles, and Radianite Points, and will cost 1000 VP.

The new Valorant skins, Glitchpop, works with the weapons Odin, Bulldog, and Judge. It will also introduce its own combat knife. The skin takes inspiration from a “dystopian future where death has no consequence.” The weapon colors are bright and vibrant and have a Cyberpunk aesthetic. Riot Games released a trailer that shows them in action.

Valorant’s Deathmatch will pit ten players against each other, and the first one to reach 30 kills within six minutes wins. If no one reaches 30, then whoever has the most kills wins instead. During Deathmatch, in-game money will be infinite, abilities will be unusable, and the Spike will be nonexistent. Every weapon in the game will also be available, and players will start off with heavy armor. A UAV will reveal an enemy’s location every five seconds, and whenever the player scores a kill, a Health pack will drop.

Riot Games announced it was working on Valorant’s Deathmatch Mode a while ago, so it’s not too surprising to see it in Act 2. It doesn’t release until August 5, though, so it won’t be with the initial update. When it does launch, it will be a Beta version, so Riot will make adjustments to it as needed later down the line.

While Valorant players may have known Deathmatch was coming, it’s still exciting to know that it will be arriving soon, as a free-for-all game mode has been Valorant’s most requested feature to date. However, because this upcoming Deathmatch will only be a beta version, there’s no guarantee it will stick around. If its servers prove stable, though, Riot Games may allow it to do so.
