Reaver skin is back from Valorant Beta with free cosmetics from Prime Gaming

The biggest upcoming treat for the fans is the comeback of the Reaver set of skins. These skins were originally in the beta version of the game, but they never made it to the global launch. The skins looked really amazing and fans have been asking for them. Riot has now teased an image that almost confirms the addition of these skins.

With such exclusive skins, it’s only natural that they will ask for fat cash in return. However, Prime Gaming has free cosmetics on offer for the players. Users just have to link their Amazon Prime account with Twitch and they can redeem the free reward. Once they do so, they will receive an ‘F to pay respects’ charm for their weapons.

There have also been demands for test builds from players. Riot might engage with the idea; however, a lot of games that run test builds for upcoming patches see it as a frivolous practice since not a lot of players use them. Therefore, it is up to Riot whether they want to give players the access to upcoming patches in return for feedback.

Finally, Riot have also announced that they will tweak the weekly challenge system to remove the more tedious tasks. This will make Battle Pass progression much easier for players. In a lot of instances, players have reported that they failed to finish the pass. Now, most of these challenges will be replaced with easier ones.

It is clear that the developers want to make the game as player-friendly as possible going into the next Episode. Players can expect to have a wonderful experience hereon. Moreover, Riot also have big plans for the competitive side of the game that they will reveal in the future.
