Regarding what I said at 2:00 , it turns out it's a fair bit lower. 2KC for a Round played and 4 KC for a Round won. This means if you were to win a game 13-7 like I mentioned in the video, you actually only gain 92 Kingdom Credits and not 230 :(
I have a question that im not sure if has been answered, but with games pass you get access to every agent on day 1 of release is that still the case with the new agent unlock system?
I am hella thanking my past self for focusing on getting all agents unlocked before maxing the contracts cause now all I have to work on is the agent items
I personally don’t like the feature of not getting contract items using kingdom credits. XP was completely fine with me and adding Kingdom credits feels like it would be harder being able to use the shop seeing the prices of how much it takes to unlock
it's a good update for system progression, but the reward is rather underwhelming cards, buddies, titles not gonna appeal so much, cards yeah there's some cool cards previous BP but titles and buddies not so much so it can be drawback to casual side since they didn't see anything too valuable to exchange it
There will also be previous BP sprays which I’m sure many people including myself are excited for, there are so many sprays that I wish I had but I couldn’t get because I didn’t have the BP
Im mainly looking for the titles i missed but also its free. I dont see any drawback in having this system for casual players. Free if u wann go for it, free if u dont. No game will be super generous with their free game currency, like warframe where when they give u free plat ur not allowed to use it for trading, or league where the only thing u can use it for is buying champs and only some cosmetics (ie player icons)
i personaly think that the cosmetics from agent contracts should be unlocked with xp after you buy the agent because 45000 kingdom credits for every agent sounds redicuoles
What I was also thinking. The agents themselves make some bit of sense but making every cosmetic with those same points and at ridiculous numbers is very stupid on their part instead of just unlocking from exp or having them fairly cheaper through KC
Just a small tip for everyone who wants to buy the new agent (which usually costs $10/€10): if you have xbox game pass for pc, you have all agents unlocked AND you get an xp boost. xbox game pass already costs only 10 bucks, but you can buy keys for a lower price (i got one for €6,70). so there's not really a reason why you would buy it with valorant points. I'm not sure what happens after the game pass sub runs out, but i imagine at that point you have enough kingdom credits anyway.
Okay since you don't seem to get some people's issues, let me explain mine Whenever I get any Kingdom Credits I will have to decide between buying a new agent, buying agent gear or buying previous battle pass items With agents being 8k if I recall Agent items being 40k+ And random battle pass items being even more I have to spend On top of only earning 600 a day from all bonuses and even taking into account the one time only gift of 5k from the devs, it's an insane amount to spend to get anything and players will have to be stuck with making hard choices for either getting limited time rotating items from the store, a system that gives an incentive to saving your currency and waiting for something you want, which is being limited yet again by an arbitrary 10k cap so we can't even save in the first place, or buying missing agents and their corresponding items which have been overpriced to the point of leaving you with nothing left considering I need to hit the cap a little over FOUR times in a row to get agent items The previous agent system was perfect, the KC system should have been made exclusively to trade for battlepass items from the past and thats IT
One thing that I really don't like is the fact that I was on part 4 of unlocking Omen, but now that this is out there is no reduced cost to unlock him, even though I was about to unlock him through exp
Definitely, a good update, but it's hella disappointing that there are no skins or knives in the accessory store. Those are literally the main purpose of buying the battlepass for most players lol
I think a major problem is that the KC you can unlock through agent contracts can't be unlocked if you already completed them... so newer players get more
One of my least favorite parts of this is that I can't earn 3 or 4 tiers of an agent and spend 2 or 4 bucks to speed unlock them, but I suppose haven't done that since I caught up anyway. Oh well.
Apart from sprays and a couple of banners, personally for me, it feels not enough... especially if battlepass items are the only things rotating inside it..
@@freshtomato23_ Fortnite gives v-bucks in free batte pass. Riot should atleast provide something like that, they think all of us gaming are fully employed high paying boomers or what that we have so much money to spend..
would be nice if you could convert kingdom points to valorant points. even if the conversion rates were abysmal, it would still make dropping 20 to 30 bucks for 1 skin more bearable
I do like the general idea of the Kingdom Points but i really think, they should at least create some skins only for that curency. Cause nobody really cares about the buddys or sprays.
@@feyweky_8284 thats nice for you. But the majority of f2p players want an opportunity to get free skins. And this update had the potential do do exactly that.
@@derperch2787 guns will NEVER be available to players who don't want to spend money on them. It's their main source of income and even if they'll make a separate low-tier skinline for these players, they know that the players will be even less likely to buy skins. They won't compromise their income. But at this point almost everyone has skins. At least in Gold+ lobbies. You could just ask them to drop it.
Not only that, but this update is beneficial for EVERYONE in the game. The most hardcore money spenders are skin collectors and going for the premium skinlines, not the battlepasses. The majority of battlepass items are excellent for self expression and customisation. There have been 18 battlepasses so far, and there are even more to come. Tons of items, which you would only buy the battlepass for once you had an internal breakdown due to FOMO. Now you get to buy it for free (albeit it's only the case if the item is in the store). And even if you're low on KC, you can earn 1k or more a day and could easily grind at least 7k a week (which is exactly how long the items are in store). If you are still disappointed about free gun skins, you'll have to deal with it man. Those are unrealistic expectations. Just be satisfied with this. You will surely find items that you'll like. We most of the time didn't bother to check them because we wouldn't buy it anyway.
For you guys who stop playing at the end of the last season, you can leave the last week of challenges unfinished and they carry over to the next season. Easy xp for the new agent.
personally i think they just made it more complicated and the 10k cap would be annoying since u can barely buy 2 items from the shop when ur capped out
Will the agent recruitment event only unlock the agent, or will it include some of the agent's gear tiers (titles, sprays, cards), or will you have to unlock the agent and then use KC to get their gear?
you will no longer have tiers. every match provides you with some KC and you can chose if you want to spend it on cosmetics or agent unlocks. it's not that hard to understand.
I believe not, buying the agent will not give you the first 5 tiers/gears. Unlike the old system, You can now buy the agent directly using KC and bypass all of the gears/tiers BUT if you want the gear you need first to unlock/buy the agent THEN buy your way into the gear you want. for example: you want gekko's shorty skin which is the 10th tier/gear, you need to unlock Gekko first which unlocks his gear section then buy your way up to the 10th tier as said on 4:19.
for me who only wants to buy the agent using KC, this is much better than the old system which you need to grind to get the agent using exp. But this has some bad things too, considering that you will unlock only the new agent for 200k exp within 28 days and not their gears along with it. on the old system, if you got 200k exp you will have the agent and the first 4 tiers. i think this new system is good for buying agents that you don't already have since you can bypass tiers, but the old system is better for getting the new agents since you will get their tiers along with it.
@@CottonballMonster while getting those 200k exp you are also getting kingdom credits which you can use on those first 4 tiers or something else you like so this is even better
this is going to make the grind so much longer for people. if your guess is right its going to take a month and a half to unlock all agent items when before it would take 2 weeks of regular play
I see a lot of confusion here saying this accessory update is great. You all don't realize Riot did this in-order for people to spend actual money on agents. Vast majority of the player base don't buy agents. In-order to freely unlock an agent, you need to first complete the 200k progression. Then you have the ability to unlock with Kingdom credits. At this point, it's likely you've already spent Kingdom credits on accessory items, which then you won't have enough to unlock the agent you progressed. Which then, you'll be pressured to spend real money. This update isn't thinking about the player base, Riot is thinking about their wallet.
Basically I only had to get about 15/10k Exp to unlock Gekko, but because of this new damn system, my progress is gone, I wasted time getting exp and now I'll have to play many more matches to unlock him. Riot is dumb as heck
Bro they have that stupid shop system again !?!? That's just bs, why can't I buy the thing i want whenever I want ? Why i have to pray to the RNG god to be luck to get what i want in my shop ?
For example, i didn't played yesterday and today i can't play as well, i lost 600 KC yesterday and 600 KC today or if i play tomorrow i can still get those 1200 KC?
Overall a reasonably good change. A few negative IMO; with new agents I would often grind the first lower xp levels and then buy the last 2-3 as they took more XP, that’s no longer an option. I think it would be cool if as a perk to buying the battle pass you got an XP boost to the agent contract too. Getting old BP content is good but I think it devalues the battle passes a fair bit. The only reason I buy the battle passes recently is if I want to get some more radienite. Just a general complaint is that the paid content is way too expensive IMO. I don’t see Riot ever changing this but honestly I would probably buy 3 times as much if they halved the price. As is I may buy a bundle once a year.
Also if you are someone who actually bought and completed all the BPs then you have nothing to spend KC on. Seems an over site. Hopefully they change this. Would be cool if there was some high value/unique content you could get with KC to reward the most committed players. There’s not much reward atm for just playing the game.
I feel like this could also weed out smurfing. Smurfs don't play on their accounts often, or play when the seasons about to end. Now if they do want to smurf, they need to play a ton of games and invest a lot more time into their alts in a short period of time to unlock an agent on their smurf account. Whereas previously, they may have played on and off in the span of 2 months to unlock an agent contract.
What if I have unlocked 4 lv of contract for the agent, but I need last 60k XP to open that character, will I need to pay 8k kingdom credits to open that character...? I just needed 2-3 days to open the character I wanted :(
im on the last tier of the viper contract and i wont be able to get it in time before the episode ends, so will the brogress save, or will i need to get all 5 tiers unlocked before the shorty skin?
After some time I like the abiltiy to get the old battlepass stuff but it feels so much slower gathering them for agents where monthlys would shoot up ur progress there is nothing like that now
that accessories part is the good one actually i really wanted to have plater cards but also did not wanted to spend money on them, now i can get them by KC
at this point they should just give people access to previous battlepasses. I never really understood why the devs or any devs haven't thought of it. They use the tactic of FOMO(Fear of Missing Out) to get people to play more and grind the battlepass.If they gave access to new players to be able to purchase old battlepasses and give more experienced players who have purchased them but couldn't finish them on time a chance to earn things like the Ruin Dagger and such. It doesn't make players feel FOMO, and they make more money off all battlepasses.
My only question is will the commemorative buddies and titles be up for purchase? I dont wanna be gatekeepy, but should the "year 1" line of accessories be available for those who didn't play at that time?
i feel like this should be able to work for skins also (actual money stuff) but would require a lot of grinding, such as if you max out your KC counter, then you can get like one skin, or get a couple valorant credits, and keep on doing that till you buy a skin
i was worried that they will include previous battlepass guns and knife skins although i dont have any skins but still i was concern that the value of that limited piece will be ruined. for example ruin dagger.
will the kingdom store thingy only have old battle pass stuff? I really want some of the older buddies/icons that were dropped alongside skinlines like Valorant go! but right now there's no way to get those.
it really sucks that i have like 6-7 champs i have passed the 2000 credit and it says unlocked but i havent gotten them. it really "punish" people that have played before this system came out. Riot should look this up and fix it.
Huge problem, for the agents that you already unlocked by leveling up to get to level 5, they’re switching the level 5 reqard to 2000 kingdom credits instead of the agent, but u will keep the agent, and another problem is, i had 5 agents unlock, and if you add it up rhat would be 10k, and the max is 10k, but i only got 6k…… RIOT GANES REFUNDDDDD
Im so pissed I was almost done Omen to get the GHOST and now I'm screwed, they should of let any agents that you were working on be completed if they were gonna pull this shit
I had a contract active for Gekko and I was on the last tier to unlock him. I now have to spend 8k credits as if he has no progress towards unlocking him :(((
What happens if you were already in a contract for an agent? Does the bar get reset and so you have to spend the 8k credits to get it? I had a Yoru contract at 56k out of 60k to get the agent itself. Am I going to have to buy him as if I hadn’t made progress towards him?
So now a new player should either use kingdom credit for agent or accessories. No both ? How long will it take to unlock them all ? It's daunting now .
I think my game has a problem. The agents dont do voiceovers anymore. Its been real quiet playing the game except when team talks in voice chat. Idk why, started when new update came. 😢
Since there are no weapon skins (any tier, at least worst one) this system makes not much sence. I'd like to even buy previous passes to get old weapon skins but nah, they'll just use space in hard drive since no one already use it.
so theres a cap for maximum kingdom credits at once which is 10k right? but like is there a cap for how many you can gain in a certain period of time? or if i just keep on spending will I always be able to acquire more? and will there ever be an accessory worth more than 10k?
Regarding what I said at 2:00 , it turns out it's a fair bit lower. 2KC for a Round played and 4 KC for a Round won.
This means if you were to win a game 13-7 like I mentioned in the video, you actually only gain 92 Kingdom Credits and not 230 :(

Just a general complaint is that the paid content is way too expensive IMO. I don’t see Riot ever changing this but honestly I would probably buy 3 times as much if they halved the price. As is I may buy a bundle once a year.
Also if you are someone who actually bought and completed all the BPs then you have nothing to spend KC on. Seems an over site. Hopefully they change this. Would be cool if there was some high value/unique content you could get with KC to reward the most committed players. There’s not much reward atm for just playing the game.
I feel like this could also weed out smurfing. Smurfs don't play on their accounts often, or play when the seasons about to end. Now if they do want to smurf, they need to play a ton of games and invest a lot more time into their alts in a short period of time to unlock an agent on their smurf account. Whereas previously, they may have played on and off in the span of 2 months to unlock an agent contract.
Well normal people also play like that. On n off and play when able. Seems harsh to punish everyone for some.
So I can finally get that one skye card I couldn’t obtain because I wasn’t playing the game that early? Hell yeah!
I love your thumbnail. Skye the best!
what happens if you’re tier 4 of a contract right now? does that xp get converted to kc?
Same concern
I dunno, hopefully it does otherwise it's all wasted
Was just thinking this as I'm in the same boat with Gekko. I think we need to grind 3k Kingdom credits it seems :(
it gets wasted
Unfortunately not, no matter how close you are only completed tiers will carry over
What if I have unlocked 4 lv of contract for the agent, but I need last 60k XP to open that character, will I need to pay 8k kingdom credits to open that character...? I just needed 2-3 days to open the character I wanted :(
Same I guess we just have to check when update releases
I just asked the same question, so please tag me when we get an answer.
Bro you just have to play,you will earn xp just like how it is now,except you will also earn kc while completing a contract.
Yeah unfortunately it'll still be full price, even if you're missing it by 1 xp
@@KangaValorant thanks for heads up
im on the last tier of the viper contract and i wont be able to get it in time before the episode ends, so will the brogress save, or will i need to get all 5 tiers unlocked before the shorty skin?
the progress will most likely be saved
also after the update tiers arent a thing
There are no point in playing more than 4 games in a day now for a newbie. 15 and 20 credits for a match? F off with that.
the agent gear having KC as their price is the only downside in this video imo
After some time I like the abiltiy to get the old battlepass stuff but it feels so much slower gathering them for agents where monthlys would shoot up ur progress there is nothing like that now
that accessories part is the good one actually
i really wanted to have plater cards but also did not wanted to spend money on them, now i can get them by KC
I just want to let you know that ur prob the best val “news” channel u just give it straight love it
If valorant kingdom credits is limited to 10k then how can we buy 15500 kingdom credits skin pls explain
I was 10K away from getting tier 7 of neon’s contract. And now I lost all of my progress. I’m fucking pissed.
i hate the progresion for AGENTS
all the people hating on kingdom credits clearly haven't played League
I hope they find a way to put skins into this system, maybe put some heavy grind behind It, but at least give better rewards
yes i wish they could make f2p players able to buy skins other than pistol skins from the free side of bp and agents contracts...
I wish you could buy old bp skins, maybe not knives but old skins like the lycan's bane odin for 10k kingdom credits
why fix what isnt broken
at this point they should just give people access to previous battlepasses. I never really understood why the devs or any devs haven't thought of it. They use the tactic of FOMO(Fear of Missing Out) to get people to play more and grind the battlepass.If they gave access to new players to be able to purchase old battlepasses and give more experienced players who have purchased them but couldn't finish them on time a chance to earn things like the Ruin Dagger and such. It doesn't make players feel FOMO, and they make more money off all battlepasses.
There's no gun on accessories store.. So u still must buy battle pass if want to get a gun skin
Yoo this was actually well explained thanks man ❤
luckily i finished all my agents contracts before this update and i can save my kc for the accessories like the "make some noise" spray
So basically choose between unlocking old BP stuff or buy the agents and their gear. This is pathetic.
So you dont get the items leading up to an agent so we are loosing that plus is their a cap on credits if so that's bad
What if I've ALMOST completed my next contract, what will happen to all my progress?
It's still stupid that you have to drop real money in order to get an agent immediately.
My only question is will the commemorative buddies and titles be up for purchase?
I dont wanna be gatekeepy, but should the "year 1" line of accessories be available for those who didn't play at that time?
Yeah I have the same feeling about that
they absolutely shouldn't, those accessories lose huge value for OG players
hey, just wanted to say that i really like your channel :3
Hey Kanga! Do you play around Ascendant 1-2 on the OCE server? I think I may have recognised your voice in a ranked game but I didn't ask you haha
That sounds about right, i’ve been mostly playing Deadlock today and got placed Asc 1
Imagine buying Day One title in the accessory shop
kanga casually putting insane clips in the background
i feel like this should be able to work for skins also (actual money stuff) but would require a lot of grinding, such as if you max out your KC counter, then you can get like one skin, or get a couple valorant credits, and keep on doing that till you buy a skin
So I was like 30k xp away from unlocking omen, does this mean I have to restart my omen progress?
Unfortunately yeah
So are the gun buddies available in the accessories only from battlepasses? So the bunny gun buddy that turns blue wouldn't be in the accessories?
What bothers me is even though you complete all agent contracts,
You won’t be able to unlock all agents unless you buy creds.
i was worried that they will include previous battlepass guns and knife skins although i dont have any skins but still i was concern that the value of that limited piece will be ruined. for example ruin dagger.
will the kingdom store thingy only have old battle pass stuff? I really want some of the older buddies/icons that were dropped alongside skinlines like Valorant go! but right now there's no way to get those.
damn they really made it a grind to get stuff now, I think it's going to take longer because 2 per round and 4 per win is ridiculously low
if the kingdom credits cap at 10,000 how can you buy the things that cost more than that?
Bro I've been following you in your early days in this channel..you grew it a lot and provide quality content..thank you ❤
If valorant kingdom credits is limited to 10k then how can we buy 15500 kingdom credits skin pls explain
finally the bundle store, i missed a lot of cool bundles and i was so regretful that i didnt play that time
it really sucks that i have like 6-7 champs i have passed the 2000 credit and it says unlocked but i havent gotten them. it really "punish" people that have played before this system came out. Riot should look this up and fix it.
thank you for letting us know
are the player cards only from the battle passes or also the bundles?
Only old battle pass items
I do like the idea of credits to buy previous BP items. Definitely an idea that i think other games should use
I play on weekends so does that mean I will get like bonus xp or some thing?
Huge problem, for the agents that you already unlocked by leveling up to get to level 5, they’re switching the level 5 reqard to 2000 kingdom credits instead of the agent, but u will keep the agent, and another problem is, i had 5 agents unlock, and if you add it up rhat would be 10k, and the max is 10k, but i only got 6k……
RIOT GANES REFUNDDDDD
Im so pissed I was almost done Omen to get the GHOST and now I'm screwed, they should of let any agents that you were working on be completed if they were gonna pull this shit
I had a contract active for Gekko and I was on the last tier to unlock him. I now have to spend 8k credits as if he has no progress towards unlocking him :(((
What happens if you were already in a contract for an agent? Does the bar get reset and so you have to spend the 8k credits to get it? I had a Yoru contract at 56k out of 60k to get the agent itself. Am I going to have to buy him as if I hadn’t made progress towards him?
literally, 200k xp for the pistol skins! and its gonna be reset like what?
Yeah unfortunately if you were partway through a tier, that progress won't carry over
I had like 140k exp out of 150k to unlock the joint venture card and now all of that has gone to waste sadly. time to start over the grind
Bro that system actually makes valorant better ngl🙌🙌
First comment btw
Wait so to unlock an agent you need to spend 1000 VPs or can it be through kingdom creds?
Question: Will you be able to get free battle pass skins, such as the bound knife in this BP or at least a non side arm skin
Will the kingdom points be carried forward to the next season or it will expire when the season ends?
They'll carry forward, nothing resets them
So now a new player should either use kingdom credit for agent or accessories. No both ? How long will it take to unlock them all ? It's daunting now .
will the kingdom credit shop include epilogue cosmetics?
I'm 99% sure no
I don't believe so
I think my game has a problem. The agents dont do voiceovers anymore. Its been real quiet playing the game except when team talks in voice chat. Idk why, started when new update came. 😢
Since there are no weapon skins (any tier, at least worst one) this system makes not much sence.
I'd like to even buy previous passes to get old weapon skins but nah, they'll just use space in hard drive since no one already use it.
nice now i can unlock my last agent and the new agent at the same time after a month i will have them all
so theres a cap for maximum kingdom credits at once which is 10k right? but like is there a cap for how many you can gain in a certain period of time? or if i just keep on spending will I always be able to acquire more?
and will there ever be an accessory worth more than 10k?
Whenever we make a new valorant ID we get to unlock 2 agents for free without any grind so will it be the same after this update or not??
4:03 jett : pick up the op on heaven
