The final Act for Episode 7 is out in Valorant, with Riot Games introducing a brand new Agent to the roster. Alongside that, Riot has also introduced a new Battlepass for the Act, unleashing a new range of cosmetic items for gamers to enjoy as they sail through the new season. Riot Games is always known for putting many pop-culture and meme references into their cosmetics, especially sprays. In the past, the developers have delivered some famous meme-inspired graffiti for fans.
This time, the Battlepass incorporates a spray, referencing a popular Indian movie, RRR, featuring Skye's Trailblazer Wolf and Harbor, the Indian Agent in-game.
Valorant Episode 7 Act 3 References RRR in New Battlepass
The RRR-themed spray is on tile 34, called the 'Keep your Paws Off' spray. The particular spray is a premium item and can be unlocked only by purchasing the Battlepass for 800 Valorant Points (VP). Once purchased, gamers can simply play the game to grind the pass till they reach the respective tier.
The Keep Your Paws Off spray features a scene from the RRR movie, referencing one of the protagonists dodging a Royal Bengal Tiger by sliding below it. In the spray, the characters are swapped by Skye's Trailblazer Wolf, as Harbor fills the shoes of the protagonist. Being an Agent from India, Harbor fits the spray perfectly, as praised and mentioned by many Valorant fans. The reference has been a popular topic on the internet, with many Indian Valorant players praising Riot Games for the effort.
Why Makes the Keep Your Paws Off Spray So Special in Valorant Episode 7 Act 3?
RRR was one of the biggest hits coming from India last year and has amassed a massive global following. The movie follows the fictitious tale of two legendary revolutionaries as they embark on a journey away from home before they begin fighting for their country in the 1920s. It also tells the oppressive tale of the British rule in India during the time period.
The scene that inspired the Valorant Keep Your Paws Off spray was taken from a scene from the movie with actor N.T. Rama Rao Jr. In the scene, Rao's character dodges the paws of the colossal beast. Riot Games did not miss out on the opportunity to deliver a top-tier cosmetic in-game, with the spray garnering a lot of popularity since Episode 7 Act 3's release.
