Riot's upcoming update, Episode 6 Act 1, is set to go live on January 10 and will deliver a new map alongside fresh cosmetics.

The map, Lotus, is the ninth addition to Valorant and features a three-site layout that echoes the design of Haven.

Lotus is located within Omega Earth's Indian region, taking visual cues from the Western Ghats.

Design influences include traditional Indian stepwells and rock-cut Dravidian architecture.

Players can expect new interactive elements such as rotating doors, breakable door and wall segments, and a silent drop mechanic for quieter movement.

Episode 6 Act 1 will also introduce a new battle pass and the Araxys skin line.

The latest Valorant update brings an enticing battle pass priced at 1,000 VP, equivalent to $10.

Players opting for the free tier can look forward to rewards like the 9 Lives Classic skin, Big Announcement gun buddy, Playzilla DAN card, and Shock Heart spray.

Those who invest in the premium pass will unlock exclusive items including the Venturi Vandal, Venturi knife, Rift Rider card, Perfectly Roasted spray, and Folded Wish gun buddy.

The Araxys collection arrives as a premium bundle,

offering a complete cosmetic overhaul for your arsenal.

For a total of 8,700 VP, players can acquire the full set:

Araxys Vandal, Operator, Shorty, and Bulldog,

accompanied by the Bio Harvester melee weapon.

The bundle is rounded out with a gun buddy, player card, and a spray.

Each firearm in the bundle features a detailed progression system.

Advancing through levels unlocks increasingly elaborate effects:

Starting with a unique model and specialized bullets,

then gaining distinct audio and muzzle visuals.

Higher levels introduce custom animations for every action,

culminating in a signature finisher and kill banner.

Three color variants are available for the guns: Purple, Black/Red, and Gray.

Each variant applies its unique palette to the weapon's model and its final effects.

The Araxys Bio Harvester melee follows a similar path.

Its upgrades provide a custom model first,

then enhanced animations and visual effects with every swing.

The same three color variants—Purple, Black/Red, and Gray—are also available for this blade.

Valorant remains free-to-play on PC,

accessible through its official website for all players.
