Valorant Act 5 Malaysia Time: Patch 13.04 & Aeris Bundle
Published: 2026-08-26
Valorant Act 5 went live in Malaysia on Wednesday, 19 August 2026, roughly an hour after Riot's patch 13.04 maintenance closed on the SEA server. Kuala Lumpur ranked queues re-opened near noon MYT (all times MYT, GMT+8). The Act runs through 14 October 2026, giving grinders 56 days to farm the food-themed battle pass and pull the 9,500 VP Aeris bundle before it rotates out of the store around 8 September.
When Patch 13.04 Landed in KL
Riot pushed patch 13.04 to the SEA and Pacific realms on 19 August. Servers were down for about 4–5 hours in the early morning. Ranked queues in Petaling Jaya and Johor Bahru cybercafés re-opened around 12:00 PM. This is the 38th act in Valorant, and it keeps the eight-week cadence. Expect balance patch 13.05 to drop mid-cycle around 2 September.
The headline change nobody can skip: Breeze rotated out and Abyss rotated back into the competitive map pool. Anyone climbing Immortal-to-Radiant in Shah Alam should redo callouts fast, because Abyss's fall-off death traps still punish players who last touched the map in Act 2. Riot's official notes on the VALORANT Wiki summarise the swap as "goodbye Breeze and hello Abyss." Kuronami 2.0 and Nocturnum transforming-melee bugs also got fixed this patch, so those cosmetics stop shattering mid-swing.

Aeris Bundle: 9,500 VP for Four Skins Plus the Suit of Aeris
The Aeris Collection dropped 18–19 August and holds shelf space until roughly 8 September. Full-bundle price is 9,500 VP. Contents:
- Aeris Vandal, Bandit, Guardian and Marshal at 2,375 VP each
- Suit of Aeris melee (transforms across dagger, sword and greatsword) at 5,350 VP alone
- Magical Deck Flex 1,375 VP, Aeris Player Card 575 VP, Aeris Gun Buddy 475 VP
Add the parts and the standalone total lands at 15,050 VP. Buying the bundle through REDX Game's Valorant Malaysia top-up saves 5,550 VP of stated value; the melee alone accounts for 5,350 of that. The Flex has a hidden 10% chance to roll six Riftbound Overnumber cards on equip, which is the collector bait if Riot's TCG launch this year caught your attention.
Battle pass side: 50 core tiers plus five epilogue, themed around food and dining. Premium standouts are the Verdant Cafe Vandal, Last Stop Phantom, Gourmand Bandit and Gourmand Operator. Free-track weapon skins from the Verdant Cafe and Last Stop lines are the polite pickup for casuals who only log in weekly. Clear the Act's weekly missions on time and the pass usually finishes with two weeks to spare. Grab the pass and any VP top-up in the same REDX Game order to skip double checkout.
What 9,500 VP Actually Costs in Ringgit
Riot's global store lists 11,000 VP (the smallest tier that covers the Aeris bundle) at US$99.99. Convert at around RM 4.30 to the dollar and it lands near RM 430 before Apple's local mark-up. The Malaysian App Store historically prints ringgit prices roughly 5–10% above the FX-only rate for large Valorant tiers, so the equivalent 11,000 VP top-up sits around RM 449.90 on App Store Malaysia today.
REDX Game's Valorant direct top-up runs the same VP load through DuitNow, FPX, Boost or Touch 'n Go eWallet with a 1–3 minute delivery window. Anyone who has ever queued at 7-Eleven Bukit Bintang for an iTunes gift card just to fund a 5,350 VP purchase already knows the convenience tax. Tak perlu tunggu lama; the MYR-first rail exists and takes a bank pin instead of a gift card serial.
The math trap most Malaysian grinders fall into: buying VP one small pack at a time (475 VP × 20) is nearly 30% more expensive per VP than the 11,000 VP tier. Load once. Buy the bundle. That single rule saves more than any Facebook discount code will. On REDX Game, that same one-shot top-up posts in minutes.
What Malaysian Ranked Players Should Do This Act
Map rotation matters more than any skin bundle if your Elo is on the line. Abyss returning means Falls-Off-Map deaths spike again in ranked, and smoke lineups from Act 2 need refreshing before the meta settles. Malaysian esports org TODAK has been running local Valorant scrim nights on Discord for grinders chasing a VCT Pacific Ascension shot, and the returning Abyss map is the first thing their coaches are drilling. Cross-check hero lineups against the current mirror on Liquipedia's Patch 13.04 page before scrim night.
Premier V26A5 also runs shorter this cycle; the season is compressed to about six weeks, so plan scrim availability in Ipoh and Penang around that window. If you skipped Act 4 Premier because of exam season, this Act's shorter frame is friendlier to working adults with real jobs and Grab shifts on weeknights.
Fake VP Deals to Skip
Every Act, "cheap VP" resellers pop up in Facebook groups across Shah Alam and Kuching promising half the App Store rate. Riot's terms prohibit account-share top-ups outright. Vanguard's account-flag heuristics have been more aggressive since Act 3. If a listing asks for your Riot login, that is not a discount but a ban risk. Stick to direct top-up sellers where you keep your credentials, such as REDX Game's Valorant Malaysia store, or Riot's own in-client purchase. A checkout that only asks for your Riot ID is safe; one that asks for a password is not.
Valorant Act 5 Malaysia Time FAQ
What time did Valorant Act 5 go live in Malaysia?
The SEA server returned around 12:00 PM MYT on Wednesday, 19 August 2026 after roughly a 4–5 hour maintenance window that started early morning.
When does Act 5 end?
Riot's calendar sets the Act 5 end at 14 October 2026 MYT, which gives you about 56 days to finish the food-themed battle pass.
How much does the Aeris bundle cost?
Full Aeris Collection is 9,500 VP. Individual pieces total 15,050 VP, so the bundle saves 5,550 VP of stated value; mostly through the Suit of Aeris melee. In ringgit, the nearest App Store tier (11,000 VP) sits around RM 449.90.
Is Breeze permanently removed?
No. Breeze rotated out for Act 5 while Abyss rotated in. Riot cycles maps in and out most Acts, so Breeze should return in a later rotation.
Where can I top up Valorant Points in Malaysia with DuitNow?
REDX Game handles Valorant Points top-ups with DuitNow, FPX, Boost and Touch 'n Go eWallet. Pricing is MYR-only, no gift card conversion. Delivery is advertised at 1–3 minutes.
Should I buy the Aeris melee alone or grab the bundle?
Suit of Aeris alone is 5,350 VP. That is more than half the bundle cost. If the knife is on your list, the bundle is the correct pick. Skip it otherwise; individual weapon skins rotate back through the store later.
