When Does Valorant Act 4 End in Malaysia Time? Battle Pass Countdown
Published: 2026-07-24
Act 4 Ends the Night of 19 Ogos 2026 in Malaysia Time
Season 2026 Act 4 wraps on Tuesday, 19 August 2026 (PT patch day), which lands late that night or early Wednesday morning here in Malaysia. Riot has not published a public MYT rollover clock, but every Valorant Act since 2020 has switched during scheduled patch maintenance early Pacific Time. That consistently converts to a window between 23:00 MYT 19 Ogos and 04:00 MYT 20 Ogos on the SEA server. Play like it ends on the night of the 19th and you will not miss anything.
The official Season 2026: Act 4 page on the playvalorant.com wiki confirms Act 4 launched 24 Jun 2026 with Patch 13.00, a 56-day rotation that matches Riot's stated four-Act 2026 cadence. That leaves roughly four weeks from today (23 Julai 2026 as this goes up) for Malaysian players in KL, Petaling Jaya, and Kuching to squeeze out the last of the Intertwine, Sky Reaper, and Tacti-Guild battle pass drops before they disappear for good.
All times below are MYT (GMT+8) unless stated. REDX Game will refresh this page the moment Riot's rollover maintenance banner shows the exact minute.
What Finishes on Malaysian Servers
- Act 4 Battle Pass (50 tiers + 5 epilogue): unclaimed reward tiers are permanently deleted at rollover. No VP refund. If you paid 1,000 VP for the pass, unclaimed tiers = wasted VP. Stated in the in-client pass tooltip and repeated on the Season 2026 Act 4 wiki.
- Sky Reaper Sword (tier 45 melee): Act-exclusive knife on the paid track. After 19 Ogos it leaves the pass and cannot be earned outside a rare future re-release bundle.
- Intertwine and Blackspyre bundles: the paid featured collections rotate out of the shop over the following two weeks. Check your Featured store daily during the closing window.
- VALORANT FC Event Pass: the separate esports pass expires with the Act. Any unclaimed radianite from VCT drops is lost, and Twitch drop progress does not carry over.
- Act 4 Ranked Rewards: the gun buddy is issued based on peak Act rank. Play at least one competitive placement after your rank locks in to guarantee delivery to your locker.
How Malaysian Players Should Prioritise the Last Four Weeks
Boleh tahan the urge to marathon all 55 tiers on the final Sunday. Break it down instead. Weekly Missions give roughly 15,000 XP; three weekly caps between now and 19 Ogos work out to 4-5 battle pass tiers per week if you finish them cleanly.
Priority order for the average Malaysian player who logs in 3-4 nights a week:
- Weekly Missions first, every week. These reset every Wednesday around 08:00 MYT. Miss a week and there is no catch-up path.
- Ranked placement early in Ogos. Lock in your Act 4 rank in the first two weeks of August so the Act rank buddy is guaranteed. Waiting for the last night is how you end up in a 30-minute queue on a 4G line in Shah Alam.
- Tier 45 melee before the last day. If you fall behind and only care about the Sky Reaper Sword, buy tier skips with VP rather than gamble on grinding. The math is in the next section.
- VALORANT FC drops. Watch at least one Pacific stream with your Riot ID linked; radianite drops here are effectively free VP-adjacent currency.
Skip the mid-Act "hot streak" myth. Grinding at 03:00 to hit tier 50 the night before rollover has never been an efficient use of a Malaysian workday-adjacent schedule.
Ringgit Math: VP Pricing for Act 4 vs the App Store
The single biggest reason Malaysian players top up outside the store is the Apple and Google 30% cut that gets passed straight to the checkout. On the 2,050 VP tier, REDX Game currently lists RM 65 while the Apple App Store rings up around RM 84 for the same VP total. That is nearly RM 19 saved on one purchase, or roughly the price of a bowl of laksa in KL. On the 5,350 VP tier (usually what battle-pass-plus-tier-skip buyers grab), the gap widens further; expect an RM 40+ ringgit difference at the checkout page.
Rough tier-skip math if you are behind on the pass: each tier skip costs 150 VP. Ten tiers short with a week left = 1,500 VP, comfortably inside the 2,050 VP pack. Buy from the REDX Game Valorant Malaysia top up page, pay via DuitNow QR, FPX or Boost, and delivery lands in 1-3 minutes tied to your Riot ID.
Original ringgit calc for the completionists: fully clearing the pass from tier 0 via skips = 50 × 150 = 7,500 VP. That is the 5,350 VP pack plus a 2,050 VP top up, which works out to roughly RM 195 at REDX Game rates versus close to RM 265 through the App Store. Grinding still beats buying if you have the free evenings, but skipping the final 3-5 tiers is often the pragmatic call.
Only pay in Malaysian Ringgit. USD tiers routed through overseas resellers add FX spread plus Malaysian card foreign-transaction fees that quietly wipe out the headline discount.
FAQ: Act 4 Closeout and What Carries Over
Do I lose my VP if I do not spend it before Act 4 ends?
No. VP is your permanent wallet balance and carries into Act 5 and beyond. Only the Act 4 battle pass tiers and the FC event pass expire at rollover.
Will the Act 4 battle pass be extended?
Riot has never extended a live Act in Valorant history. Do not plan around a delay. Treat 19 Ogos as the hard deadline.
When does Act 5 (or Season 2026 Act 4's successor) launch in Malaysia?
Not confirmed by Riot as of publication. The 56-day cadence points to an expected launch on Wednesday 20 August 2026 MYT, likely alongside a Patch 13.03 client update. This section will be refreshed the moment Riot's news page publishes the official post.
Can I still buy the Sky Reaper Sword after Act 4?
Not directly. Battle pass exclusives sometimes reappear years later in re-release bundles, but there is no confirmed schedule. Treat 19 Ogos as your final buy window for this knife.
How much VP do I need to fully finish the pass from tier 0?
Full pass buyout via tier skips is 50 × 150 = 7,500 VP. That's the 5,350 VP + 2,050 VP combo, roughly RM 195 on REDX Game's Valorant top up store. Grinding remains cheaper if you still have the time.
Where Malaysian Players Go Wrong in the Final Week
Two mistakes eat more Malaysian ringgit around Act rollovers than any other. First, buying VP from third-party auction accounts on Telegram or Facebook Marketplace. The "Murah giler" 5,350 VP listings that look like a steal often result in a suspended Riot account within 30 days once the fraud system claws back the payment. There is no Riot appeal path once a fraudulent purchase is confirmed. Only top up through licensed Malaysian resellers such as REDX Game or through the in-client shop.
Second is the last-hour rank grind. Paper Rex analysis on the official Paper Rex Liquipedia page and Pacific coach interviews on VCT broadcasts consistently note that queue quality drops sharply in the last 48 hours of an Act because everyone plays scared. One well-known Pacific coach put it plainly on the VCT Pacific broadcast: "The last night is not where you climb; it is where you lose the rank you already earned." Play your placement in the first two weeks of Ogos, then coast.
Finally, if you play from Penang, Ipoh, or Johor Bahru on peak-hour home broadband, expect Singapore-server queue times to double on rollover night. Memang best to log in earlier that evening and finish your last matches by 22:00 MYT rather than fighting the crowd at midnight.
