Valorant Act 5 Battle Pass Closes Oct 14: Final RM 33.90 Call for Malaysia

Published: 2026-10-08

Valorant Season 2026 Act 5 ends on 14 October 2026, and the Act 5 Battle Pass goes with it, so Malaysian players staring at an unfinished tier bar have six days to decide whether the pass is still worth paying for. Verdict first: if the Verdant Cafe skinline pulls you in and you can clock the Chef's Knife melee tier in time, 1,000 VP at REDX Game is a yes at RM 33.90, and for everyone else, Act 6 is the smarter place to spend. The pass runs RM 33.90 at that ringgit ladder, against about RM 39.90 for the nearest in-client Riot bundle, which is RM 6 you keep, settled in MYR, delivered in 1-3 minutes.

Six Days Left: Act 5 Pass Closes Oct 14

Season 2026 Act 5 launched on 19 August 2026. It runs an eight-week stretch into mid-October, after which Riot's SEA server rotates to Act 6 and locks every Act 5 tier behind an expired-content flag that cannot be reopened after the fact. Battle passes expire with their Act. Any unclaimed tiers, radianite, cards or buddies vanish at reset. "The current Battle Pass expires at the end of the Act," the in-game timer plainly reads, matching patch notes on the official Valorant site. Serving tea. The Yamato squad at TODAK finished theirs weeks ago; most casuals in KL and Petaling Jaya still have tiers to grind, and anyone grinding on a late train out of Shah Alam has roughly 8-10 tiers a day on a disciplined Spike Rush and daily missions pace. Six days is enough if you queue after dinner.

What You Get for 1,000 VP

The paid track rotates three weapon collections across 55 tiers, and in practice only one of them is carrying this pass for most buyers.

Verdant Cafe is the headline, with a Classic on the free track, a Stinger, Bulldog and Vandal on the premium side, plus the Chef's Knife melee that is the Act's new finisher animation and the single biggest reason to pay.
Gourmand covers Bandit, Outlaw, Operator and Ares in a clean white-and-green livery, where the Operator is the standout and the Ares is the filler nobody will equip past the first week.
Last Stop rounds out Sheriff, Marshal, Phantom and Guardian in an urban-transit palette, and the Phantom here is sharp enough to carry the collection for Phantom mains who already own the usual bundle picks.

You also pick up 60 Radianite Points across tiers, two titles, a Clove player card, and a stack of sprays and buddies that nobody buys the pass for but that round out the premium track. If none of those three skinlines move you, skip. Keep the ringgit for Act 6. Boleh tahan is not a reason to spend RM 33.90 on cosmetics you will not equip past the first match.

Ringgit Math: Riot Store vs REDX Game

No Valorant VP bundle lands exactly on 1,000, so the nearest in-client option is Riot's RM 39.90 pack, which pays out roughly 1,250 VP (1,154 base plus 96 bonus), you buy the pass, and 250 VP sit in your Riot wallet for later. The RM 19.90 pack only reaches 600 VP, so a single top-up to 1,000 is not actually a route. Two RM 19.90 packs land at 1,200 VP for RM 39.80, ten sen cheaper than one RM 39.90 pack, 50 VP short of the pass, and two transactions worth of friction for one ringgit of saving.

Through REDX Game, 1,000 VP ships for RM 33.90 flat, which is RM 6 lighter than the in-client ladder, MYR-priced end to end, and leaves no FX surprise on your bank statement when it clears. DuitNow QR and Boost are both live rails on the Valorant top-up order page, FPX covers the maybank2u crowd, and TNG eWallet keeps the e-wallet players happy. For a Johor Bahru player topping up before a weekend LAN with friends in Kuching, the saved RM 6 pays for a Mamak teh ais and a roti canai with change for parking.

Murah giler on paper, but the honesty rule still binds: if you were going to buy 1,250 VP anyway for an Act 6 skinline, the extra RM 6 at the Riot store leaves you with 250 bank-ready VP sitting in the account, and the arithmetic flips the other way. Decide by what you actually plan to buy next, not by what looks cheap tonight.

Spotting the "RM 20 VP" Trap

Riot has never sold 1,000 VP for RM 20 in Malaysia at any point in the game's lifetime. Entry pricing on Riot's own ladder begins at RM 13.90 for 375 VP, and any Facebook ad, Telegram seller or random site promising 1,000 VP for under RM 25 is almost always one of three things: a chargeback-fed account that unwinds within 48 hours, a stolen-card top-up that locks your Riot ID, or an outright phishing drop that keeps the login you handed over. In plain English, as Riot's own account-security guidance reads, "any price that cannot exist on the official ladder is a signal, not a bargain." REDX Game publishes its MYR ladder on page, authorises through DuitNow or FPX directly, and never asks for your Riot password, which keeps the login off third-party pages because the top-up only ever needs your Riot ID.

Battle Pass FAQ for Malaysian Players

When exactly does Act 5 end in Malaysia Time?

The Act timer resets to Act 6 on 14 October 2026 at roughly 4:00pm MYT (GMT+8). Exact minute depends on Riot's SEA server patch window and historically slips by 30 to 90 minutes. All times on this page are MYT.

Can I finish the pass if I buy it today?

Only if you queue consistently. Six days at 8-10 tiers each, mixing Spike Rush, Deathmatch and the three daily missions stacked, closes about 50 tiers for a disciplined grinder. You do not need all 55 for the melee; the Chef's Knife drops at the premium milestone tier, not at completion.

Do unspent VP from the RM 39.90 pack carry over?

Yes, VP sits on your Riot account across Acts without expiring. The 250 VP left over after buying this pass still exists in Act 6, which is why some players buy the RM 39.90 bundle rather than the standalone pass. 1,000 VP from REDX Game, by contrast, buys only the pass and leaves no float, which is a cleaner purchase if you were not planning to spend anything more this Act.

Where is the cheapest MYR route to 1,000 VP?

REDX Game lists 1,000 VP at RM 33.90, against about RM 39.90 for the nearest Riot in-client bundle. Pay with DuitNow QR, Boost or FPX, and the VP lands on your Riot account in 1-3 minutes advertised.

Is REDX Game legit for Valorant top-ups?

Yes. REDX Game is a Malaysia-registered digital top-up, invoices in MYR only, and uses DuitNow and FPX rails that regulators actually see. The top-up only ever needs your Riot ID, never a password. Memang best for one-off VP, with the usual advice to screenshot your order confirmation before you close the tab.
