Seeing this gem of a melee weapon, fans couldn't control their emotions. A fan can't even imagine that this is actually in the game.

This new pack will include the Vandal, Odin, Ghost, Specter and Melee skins, which are quite similar to the Star Guardians from League of Legends.

Along with these skins, you will also get Gun Buddies, Player Cards, and Sprays in this pack. This pack focuses on a cute cat, who will fly around the weapon when you look at it. Additionally, the cat displays various animations when shooting, reloading and jumping.

Speaking of Episode 9, there are also character upgrades and nerfs. After a controversial buff on Iso, the Chinese duelist finally receives a nerf to his Double Tap (E) ability. On the other hand, the Russian initiator, Sova, received a buff on Owl Drone's HP (C) ability.

The beginning of episode 9 in Valorant made the fans super excited. What do you think about these huge updates and rewards? Let us know in the comments section.
