I missed voicelines in yesterday's PBE, here they are.

Episode 8 Act 2 Battlepass Playercards | #VALORANT

radiant lotus
#

Neon ballin

sharp schooner
#

So the new agent has been delivered to the HQ by Omen, on top of that Hourglass is actually pissed off at the VP

steel marten
#

the phoenix vl is interesting but ppl were saying to be cautious of.it

#

whether it was actually datamined or generated

viral delta
sharp schooner
#

two cards have lore implications, Sage on her way to get Omen to return and the phone of some other hourglass assassin showing the primary targets of the hourglass

sharp schooner
viral delta
#

We don’t even know if they’re from the files or AI generated

steel marten
#

Sova being on the hit list now I have to hope he will appear again

sharp schooner
#

that would just destroy their credibility

normal bobcat
#

Maybe they didnt know it was ai generated as well?

#

I mean, hoax and misunderstood leaks/news happened before, i remembered the valorant mobile news that went super viral then it was found out that it was a completely different app for mobile phone

#

Idk though, just speculating

sharp schooner
#

I doubt it is AI generated mainly because they have a lot of emotion which a lot of AI voiceovers lack

#

the AI ones are more monotone

steel marten
#

true

viral delta
steel marten
#

In that case

steel marten
#

smoker with ??? Reassurection??

viral delta
#

But what are these for?

#

8.05 voicemail?

steel marten
viral delta
#

Ye

sharp schooner
#

The thing is I dont know what Cypher, Sova, Phoenix, KJ voicelines are for... voicemails? in game voicelines like how Chamber had ones before introducing Neon?

#

probably the second option

#

Chamber used to have voicelines like " zippy jett needs some competition,no?" or telling Sage that the new recruit is a bit prickly

#

in preparation to recruiting Neon

normal bobcat
#

Is there any other source posting the same kj cypher sova phoenix voiceline?

sharp schooner
#

or telling Viper to pack something light going to manilla

steel marten
#

oo possibly

#

maybe they won't be in game vls

#

just

steel marten
#

transition vls idk

#

also ppl are saying the underneath it all card is a map teaser

viral delta

normal bobcat
#

No thats sage

steel marten
#

Vertical/multilayer map???

normal bobcat
#

Lmao i thought that was omen toooooo

steel marten
#

squints

sharp schooner
steel marten
#

oh yes its her.pony tail

viral delta
steel marten
#

I thought it was his cape

#

underground with LEVELS?

#

And big vertical zips???

#

also if we see sage fucking

#

Swinging across the gorge

#

excited

sharp schooner
#

Just one thing, this might not be a place directly on the map, a lot of map teasers show the general location rather than the exact place the map occurs... we can see this is teasers for Fracture, Breeze, etc

viral delta
#

Ye

steel marten
#

aw oh right

viral delta
#

You can put in Icebox’s teaser as well

sharp schooner
#

yes Sunset too

normal bobcat
#

I guess these are for lotus and icebox?

#

Im not sure which one is for sunset tho

sharp schooner
#

Golden Hour card is Sunset's teaser

normal bobcat
viral delta
#

Yerp

normal bobcat
#

Alrighty

old path
#

But also, about Omen and Sage
She implies that she doesn't know that much of his pain
Would that mean she hadn't been the one to resurrect him originally?

#

Or, at least, she did not have a part to play in the giant question mark of the timeline that exists between [Viper bugzapped Omen] and [The VP gets formed and Omenified Omen joins]

#

But then, why does Viper harbor so much hatred for her?

#

And what is this card supposed to represent?

sharp schooner
#

Ok so the voicelines we got are in fact voicelines for match start

steel marten
#

maybe sage had to do so without question?

sharp schooner
# old path But then, why does Viper harbor so much hatred for her?

My guess here is that Viper's voiceline towards Reyna about fighting to save a loved one is probably to key to figuring that out. I am thinking the attack on Viper's life was the last step to stop her from researching radianite, what I suspect is that prior to that they had made an attempt on the life of a loved one as a threat to force her to stop. She did not stop so they went directly for her life. Sage, imo could have been Viper's last resort to save her loved one. She could have failed to do so, leaving Viper with basically nothing to lose now.

ONE IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT KILLJOY'S COMMENT ON A25's FASHION SENSE

#

LISTEN

#

WHEN IT COMES TO FASHION YOU EITHER GET CHAMBER'S SEAL OF APPROVAL OR YOU DON'T

#

I DONT MAKE THE RULES

#

idk why I typed that all in caps

steel marten
#

also can i say

#

OH I WAS ABT TO SAY THAT

#

WHAT DOES KILLJOY KNOW ABT FASHION

#

damn ugly yellow puff jacket with math symbols

#

i would be more sure if astra or reyna said it like

#

dk what chamber knows abt fashion since he's also just in nice expensive clothing vs having a knack for fashion

#

but at least he's from france so we can Imagine but kj with her ??????? green beanie and leggings and

#

what is the fucking weather

sharp schooner
#

I agree Astra's vibe is very much in line with someone who has great taste, and she looks great herself

steel marten
#

RIGHT u see it too

#

im interested what cypher means by body bag

#

do the agents butterfly eat the corpse .

sharp sage
#

oh i am so interested in this controller now, especially after phoenix's line

solar elk
#

What do you mean agent 25 can self resurect ?

sharp schooner
#

that might not be exactly how it works

#

the effect will probably be similar but I doubt it is the same as phoenix' mechanism. I am very curious to know how it will work

solar elk
#

Could be a controllable decoy

#

Like that one agent from R6

sharp sage
#

oh yeah that could be fun

viral delta
#

Caterpillar into pupa into a butterfly

#

This empty body bag is a metaphor for the empty pupa once the caterpillar became a butterfly and flew away

steel marten
#

hm

viral delta
#

Btw an alternate name for pupa is chrysalis, which also happens to be the name of the teaser card

steel marten
#

so your guess would be that the butterflies she controls are the people she's wasted

#

because Cypher's referring to the hourglass people and then their empty body bag

viral delta
#

Not exactly but the butterflies definitely does something to the enemy's bodies or her own body

steel marten
#

I think it'd be cool if it consumed the enemies bodies

sharp schooner
#

posting it here as well:
The card " underneath it all is bringing up multiple points in my mind:

  • One thing is the building Sage is going in might not be the headquarters of hourglass right now, but it seems like it was one of their main sites historically. whether it is in use right now or not is not clear. it looks like a very old structure built inside a cave.
  • another thing is that Hourglass faction is likely older than 500 years old, We will be able to have a better judgement of their history once we get to know the architecture of this new structure.
  • Another point is that the hourglass faction seems to have always been inclined to do things secretly otherwise why build such a structure in a hard to reach location and in a deep cave?

Ok, honestly, I didn’t care that much about the new story direction riot was going for. They just keep adding more organisations like they are cookies Alr. However this new card underneath it all has me suddenly very interested again. I just love ancient organisation that might have shaped history as we know it.
