Unwrap the Festive Fun: Christmas Events And Items In Valorant

We do have a few things to enjoy for the holidays, but nothing mind-blowing:

Snowball Fight Mode

When we look at typical Christmas and New Year's events in Valorant, we have to mention the Snowball Fight Mode. You can play this mode by queuing into Escalation. As a random weapon during the rounds, you'll get the Snowball gun, which one-shots everyone. Additionally, you're on ice skates, so you can jump high and have fast movement. Just give it a try!

Community Discord Events

Furthermore, you could keep an eye out for events on the official community Discord. Just recently, there were Community Challenges, featuring tasks such as "Week One Objective: As a community, play at least 555,555 matches of Team Deathmatch." As a reward, participants received Gun Buddies, Player Cards, and Sprays.

Festive Skins

And what would Valorant be without skins? Of course, you also have festive skins to choose from, which you can take a closer look at here.

In the Battle Pass of Act 7 Episode 3, you can find many festive items. Riot went with a Nutcracker theme this time, and there are skins for Vandal, Ghost, Stinger, and Operator that match it. Additionally, there are sprays and Gun Buddies.

And that's not all – there are two Player Cards. One of them has a castle in a cozy Christmas vibe and the other one shows some agents celebrating the New Year!
