Explain the events of recruiting the new agent

When Valorant Episode 7 drops, Agent Contracts will be reworked into Agent Recruitment Events and there will be a special Agent Shop and Agent Gear feature added to the game as well. With the agent contract system getting an overhaul, here’s a quick rundown of how the new agent recruitment events will work in Episode 7 of Valorant.

How to unlock agents starting with Episode 7

These are free event passes that automatically activate the day a new agent is issued and remain active for 28 days. Unlocking agents takes about the same amount of time as before the new system was implemented.

As you earn Agent recruitment progress and XP, you’ll also earn Kingdom Credits that can be used toward items in the Agent Store, Agent Gear, and Accessory Store. You can still spend Valorant Points (VP) at any time to buy the Agent instantly.

In the event that you miss the XP target for unlocking the Agent during the Agent Recruiting event, you can unlock the Agent in the Agent Shop using Agent, VP, or Agent unlock codes (which you earn as a new player) any time after the recruitment event ends.

All items from agent contracts, such as Gekko’s Shorty or Fade’s Player Card, are still available. If you own the associated agent, you can now choose whether to unlock her agent with Kingdom Credits – or spend your credits on something else.

Agent recruitment events unlock Agents, but not their equipment. Gear now unlocks in levels – in a specific order. There are 10 levels of gear for an agent, similar to how agent contracts contain 10 levels.

For agents you didn’t earn in the old system, you’ll get some Kingdom Credits as a reward. For Agents that you unlocked in the old system, you will not receive these credits, since you have already earned this reward – the Agent.

The new system rewards active players when a new agent is launched, but it also takes no loot from players who might take a break from the game or join the game late.
