In this article we will talk about the release of Episode 5 act 3. We will also introduce you to the new Valorant agent 21 Harbor. Let’s start,

Episode 5 act 3 release with new battle pass
On Tuesday, October 18, 2022, the third Act of Episode 5 went live, and with it we got the new Battle Pass. This coincides with the standard two-week interval between minor fixes in Valorant and major upgrades like the release of new Acts and Episodes. The new valorant agent 21 “Harbor” has also been in news after an early leak. We saw an interesting backstory and a attractive set of skills.
Valorant Agent 21 “Harbor” abilities and more

Agent Harbour aka Captain Varun Batra is the first Indian Agent in Valorant. Something we need to know is that the new valorant agent 21 Harbor is now the fifth agent controller in almost 2 years. He is also one of the very few agents who can control an element i.e. water.
Harbor is a unique agent and is going to be a powerful once you learn to play with him. It has only been a week since his release but players are already figuring out amazing ways and combinations to utilize this agent.
Backstory of Vlorant Agent 21 Harbor
From early teaser, we already understand that the Realm is after Harbor under the command of Captain Greaves. We see Harbor on a mission to retrieve an ancient artifact which attaches itself to him and now he is a Realm fugitive with a coveted artifact that he can use! See the trailer.
Unlock Valorant Agent 21 Harbor
Similar to other agents, you can unlock after reaching level 5 of his contract. To get Harbor, you need to activate his contract and earn XP until level 5 or you can unlock him directly by using 1VP.
Skills and abilities
To briefly review, Harbor can create walls of water and use these water barriers to hide from the enemies. He can also move the walls like a wave weakening the enemies during combat. Additionally, he can create an orb of water which, wait for it, is bullet proof.
Let’s begin with the Ultimate ability- Reckoning, you will need 7 points for a full charge and here’s what you can do:
- Reckoning: Equip the full power of your artifact. Fire to summon a geyser on the ground. Enemy players in the area are targeted by successive geyser attacks. Players caught in a hit are shocked.
Overall, this ability has a huge area of effect radius. Anyone caught within this radius gets hit with continuous blasts of water that concusses them and impairs their weapons’ rate of fire. Moreover, a plume is also formed over their heads that indicates the position of the enemies hit with this ability.
Sportskeeda
- High Tide: Use High Tide to create safe paths and block various bottlenecks that enemies would observe. Unlike Viper’s Wall, which runs in a straight line, the player can control High Tide’s path, making it incredibly flexible in controlling a site.
- Cove: works as smoke and shield simultaneously, but only lasts 15 seconds if it isn’t broken by enemy fire. Use it to cover an ally while they plant or disable the spike, but be careful, it can be easily broken with just half a vandal or ghost clip.
- Cascade: when traversing a contested choke point, such as the main entrance to a site. Send the wave forward to help your team spread out more than normal, forcing enemies out of their way while blocking their vision.
