You cannot currently buy or unlock weapon and melee skins from an expired VALORANT Battle Pass. Riot does let selected old Battle Pass accessories return through the Accessories Store, but that system covers player cards, sprays, gun buddies and titles—not weapon skins. There is no legitimate code, Night Market offer or account-transfer trick that changes this rule.
Last verified: August 27, 2026. Riot's current store documentation still excludes Battle Pass weapon and melee skins from the Accessories Store. The old article's claim that Episode 7 would bring those skins back was incorrect.
| Reward type | Current legitimate return route | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon skins | None announced | Not in the Accessories Store, daily Store or Night Market |
| Melee skins | None announced | Also excluded from the Accessories Store |
| Player cards | Accessories Store rotation | Recent passes and some special rewards are excluded |
| Sprays | Accessories Store rotation | Offers are random and refresh weekly |
| Gun buddies | Accessories Store rotation | No guaranteed item or arrival date |
| Titles | Accessories Store rotation | Purchased with Kingdom Credits |

Riot excludes content from the current and three most recent Battle Passes, plus weapon skins, melee skins, FLEX items and Epilogue-specific rewards. An eligible item can take a long time to appear because the rotation is personalized and random. Kingdom Credit purchases are not refundable, so check the exact card, buddy, spray or title before confirming.

There is no safe shortcut. Keep the exact skin name, follow official VALORANT announcements and check future system changes rather than rumors. If Riot announces a return system later, verify the eligible item types and regions on Riot's own site before spending currency.
If you mainly want more visual variety, compare currently obtainable collections and future passes instead. Our overview of VALORANT game modes also explains where cosmetic ownership applies; cosmetics never provide a gameplay advantage.
No. Riot explicitly excludes weapon and melee skins. The store is for eligible cards, sprays, buddies and titles.
Riot has not announced a system that lets players reactivate and progress an expired pass. Do not treat leaks or fan concepts as a release plan.
No normal support route grants missed Battle Pass skins. Support also cannot force a particular Store rotation.
Eligibility and exclusions were checked against Riot Games' official VALORANT Store and Progression Update documentation. This page is reviewed when Riot changes the Accessories Store, Night Market, gifting or Battle Pass policy.
