Valorant leaks reveal full Episode 2 Battle Pass & new agent
Valorant leaks have revealed the full upcoming Episode 2 Battle Pass, as well as the name and abilities of the upcoming Agent 14.
The entirety of the Battle Pass for Valorant Season 2 has been leaked, revealing a bunch of new cosmetics, as well as details for the upcoming Agent 14.
With Valorant Episode 1 drawing to a close, leakers have been hard at work discovering everything that’s coming to the competitive shooter in Episode 2. They have discovered the upcoming Agent 14, as well as everything that will be in the new Battle Pass.
Valorant Agent 14
Valorant fans have been eagerly awaiting the reveal of the new agent, dubbed Agent 14.
However, their wishes have been answered with a leak revealing the new agent’s abilities and name: Yoru.
The leak is in Russian but Reddit user kuroi_kaze has translated Yoru’s abilities for us.
- Ability One: Creates steps sound. Press Fire to send it ahead. Or pre-place it with Alt-Fire, then press F to send the inactive one ahead.
- Ability Two: Flash. Press Fire to throw it, it will pop after contact with the surface.
- Ability Three: Press the ability button to place Portal, Press Fire to send Portal ahead, Anchor Portal with Alt-Fire. Press Activate to teleport through the Portal.
- Ultimate: Press Fire to become invisible for enemies and invulnerable.
With Riot revealing that the new agent will “tear open” Episode 2, Yoru’s portal abilities seem to fit this well.

Riot confirm a new wave of Valorant bans is coming
Riot Games developers took to Reddit and announced that they plan to take care of the recent surge of cheaters in Valorant.
Valorant is being plagued by an increasing number of cheaters and smurf accounts, so Riot devs have made it clear to fans on Reddit that they’ve noticed the problem, and made plans to deal with it.
There is a plethora of new Valorant content on the way, such as new agents and abilities, so there is a lot to be excited about in the future. However, cheating and smurfing are two major issues that Riot Games are still dealing with.
One player decided to get answers from the developers. After a Reddit thread about the issue blew up, one of the devs finally responded to fan questions and explained the planned solution.
Riot devs respond to Valorant cheating
Reddit user PeteyySD started the thread, where they vented their frustration at the “surge in cheaters” in the game in recent months.
The player made it clear that anytime they reported a cheater, they would show up again in different games. Riot developer, RayKay, took notice of this and issued a response, reassuring fans that Riot plans to implement some serious anti-cheat measures this year.
RayKay said, “Hey sorry about the cheating we are aware and bans are incoming. While we can never stop all cheating we want to make sure that it does not effect your ranked progress.
Our team is looking to make many improvements this year based on the feedback we received and hard lessons we learned last year. Keep those reports and feedback coming.”
There was another question about whether or not players will be able to get back lost MMR from games that have been infested by cheaters, or have their ranks brought back to their original spots. Unfortunately, that isn’t something the developers are focusing on.
Raykay explained, “that is a cool idea, that is something we would like to do but got some bigger priorities in front of it right now.” While we’re relieved that Riot will be making some changes, they haven’t come up with a proper fix yet.
It’s good to know that the developers are taking this matter seriously. Hopefully, we’ll get a solution soon. Until then, the best we can do is report unfair play whenever we come across it.
