I made a post about this but I doubt it will get seen cause of how many new posts there are here. So I'll hijack this top comment in a thread that is being seen;

Todays patch seems to have made things worse for me, not better.

Here is a look at my chapter 1 unlocks;

• Red boxes indicate things that haven't unlocked properly
• Green are things that have unlocked properly
• Orange line indicates which levels were completed before/after the patch.

What's worse is that my free agent unlocks seem to be completely broken. Look at this image.

You can see here that I've only used 1 of my 2 free unlocks, but the game thinks that I've used both (presumably because my second unlocked properly where my first did not). So now I also have the option to 'activate contract' on agents, but my second free unlock is missing/unavailable. Since using one of these gives you your first 5 levels free, I don't want to just jump on trying to unlock a character through grinding, only to lose that XP at a later date.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? As I've shown, it seems totally random, with me getting and not-getting items from both the free and premium upgrade paths, rather than it just being battlepass or free items that are broken. Interested to see others experiences with this.

Thanks for the additional info. This & the free agent unlocks should be fixed by the work the team is currently focusing on. We'll get you your content, but it'll take a little more time since the issue is pretty complicated.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Do we have to send a support ticket to get it cleared up?

You don't - the team say they have a good path to identifying anyone affected. Again, it's pretty complicated but we'll get you your content.

If you see that the fix was deployed & people got their missed content but you still didn't, that's when I'd make a support ticket.

just a quick update:

they fixed the bug where you don't get rewards , but they didn't give back the bugged tiers. which means that everything that you've unlocked when the bug was in the game is gone until riot patches this out

Sorry about this - we're working on it. Like I said in the other response, this is our top priority but it's a little complicated. We'll get you your rewards - thanks for your patience.

My 35 shields quest is still resetting too... can't even start weekly challenges

We have a fix for that one in testing now & should be deploying soon.

itsKamoz

Yup still can’t get spectre skin from tier 5

Most people should be earning new content correctly now (when you finish a game you should get what you earned in that game). We're working on fixing it so that any content you earned previously but didn't get due to the bug is granted to you as soon as possible

Unfortunately this issue is complicated, but it's top priority for the team today (as it also was yesterday & when it first popped up in the middle of the previous night).

I have something else binded to Alt, whats the action called

Show Teammate Loadouts; it's under Controls > Interface

EDIT: Fixed my error

Honestly this is the reason why I have nothing to say in this thread, because it's a perfect system. Have money to spare? knock yourself out buying stuff. If you don't? you get free stuff anyways. win-win

I don't know if it's PERFECT...but we're trying! I appreciate your mentality on this :) Thanks fam!

yep there are others! if you look through the skins in your collections youll find them. Frenzy, Judge, Ares, and Bulldog :)

Oh cool, thanks! Love you guys ♥

We love you too fam ♥

I want to support you buy buying the battle pass but cant figure out how. I like to think I'm tech savvy too.

Oh dude, yeah. This is a problem I'm trying to address right now. Thanks for asking! On the top left corner, you'll see two little wheels. The one on the right is the Battle Pass. Click it. On the bottom right of that screen, you'll see a prompt to buy "PREMIUM" for 1000 VP. That's the premium battle pass. Right now it just looks like you're buying the next checkpoint in the Battle Pass and that's DEFINITELY not what it is lol. Like I said...I'm trying to work with the team to fix that like right now lol.

At least dont force people to spend more than they need for items if they want to support you, you pretty much always need to buy multiple packs because the prices are set in such scummy way.

Do you mean of the VP? Like buying VP bundles? Across all the different content we offer, it would be extremely difficult for us to make sure that there's always a VP bundle that captures exactly the amount players need. And I don't just mean as a game: purchasing in-game currency is done in collaboration with a central Riot team that handles it for League, Legends of Runeterra, and VALORANT. When we've chatted with players about this, we've learned that it's frustrating for a first purchase, but the frustration usually goes away pretty quickly, because it's very, VERY rare that players only buy cosmetics once in their entire lifecycle. It almost always gets put towards a later purchase. Please know, though, that this is something on our radar. We're keeping tabs on how players feel about this, and if we have good reason to prioritize this issue over other issues, we'll do that :) I hope this makes sense!

I mean in league of legends, Riot added a feature that basically gives you free skins without paying anything if you play the game. Valorant is still super new, don't expect free skins/ cheap skins this early, they still need to make up for their losses since this is a free game, all that marketing and all the employees working don't come cheap. I'd bet that we will get a system that gives free rewards/skins if you keep playing the game, just like league.

Hey fam! Just a reminder that you do get free cosmetics :) Through the character contracts and free battle pass, you get gun skins, calling cards, gun buddies, sprays, titles, etc. Don't forget to equip those when you get them lol!

Yolo_Quant

Yep. All my friends got it, it just how it is. Riot did the research and they know what they doing.

Personally I went in and got it because IMO riot deserves. They gave me an awesome game with quality servers and decent anti cheat. Not adding the fact that they are listening to the community.

We're trying our best to deserve your support fam :)

Hey! Thank you for your response, I truly appreciate it, you have no idea!

I was able to reproduce it 100% of the time during the last few patches released in the beta by being tabbed out or not having the game focused when the game would load into a match!

Ah gotcha, that makes a lot of sense. I will go ahead and test this once the game is live in NA and I'll let you know!

Again thank you so much.

I've heard some reports that this is still happening - have you been able to reproduce it with your method?

Hey there OP.
I'm aeneia. I'm the researcher who worked on the pricing strategy for VALORANT (of course working closely with other folks, like our Rev Strat Guru SWAGGERNAU7).
I wanted to say thank you for this. A LOT of work went into determining our pricing strategy. And not just a few devs in conference rooms: we ran labs, surveys...made massive adjustments and tweaks...then more surveys, then more tweaks...all to create what you see in the store today.
Being honest, when I first joined the team and heard about our intentions for pricing, I wasn't convinced. I played League of Legends for 8 years and spent $20 that entire time for skins. I'm not a whale, not even close. But once I talked to our players...once I understood how all of our systems work together (Battle Passes, Character Contracts, Bundles, and more things we haven't announced yet!)...it made sense to me. And I've actually come to a place that I feel good about what we've put out there.
I'm working today, so I can't s...

Seems like most people in this thread are expecting and feels entitled to the month's worth of chocolate. Even tho the game is free and you don't actually have to give them anything.

I can understand, though. It's really hard to see something that you want, only to discover it's not as accessible as you want. I appreciate your mentality on it :)

maxmurdoch

Thanks very much for your response.

SR achieves the goals you're describing well. I hadn't seen people asking for this. I'd only seen people asking for the things I described, which aligns with what I personally want, so I made a lazy assumption.

Still loving Valorant. Looking forward to whatever game mode you're cooking up!

It totally makes sense that you'd make that assumption. It's why we (at Riot) HAVE to do research. We're all gamers, and I can't tell you how many times we thought the players would want something (because we wanted it ourselves), then got totally put in our place when the players actually had a chance to speak for themselves. Thanks for engaging with me on this, and I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the game! :)

Do you know if the region locks are always going to be this harsh? I’m going back to UK to study at the end of the summer and would definitely prefer not to lose all the stuff I worked for.

I’m not sure since I don’t work on that area. I recommend asking player support that too.

MrsPrater

Can everyone see the finisher animation? That's gonna be the decider in if I buy. And can folks spectating you hear the cool sounds and see the animations? :o

Yes everyone who’s looking at the finisher can see it! And yes same for animation and sounds if they’re spectating you. :)

JeffyP0PcorN

Thank you. Just double checking, switching region removes my close beta gun buddy right?

Not sure. :( Player support would know!
