Dota 2‘s summer 2020 competitive plans may have been decimated by the pandemic, but it’s not slowing down Valve’s microtransactions. Earlier this week, Valve unveiled The International 10 Collector’s Cache Volume 2, packed with items from the Dota 2 workshop. Now it’s back with even more, releasing the Toy Butcher Persona for Pudge, as well as the Voice of the International announcer pack.
The Toy Butcher Persona is part of the bigger Dota 2 battle pass for The International 10, Valve’s huge annual microtransaction-rich event. The battle pass can still be purchased for just $9.99, but that’s just a “Level 1” version of the pass. The Toy Butcher Persona requires a battle pass level of 255, so Dota 2 players will have to play a ton or purchase the extra levels they need to unlock the new content. The battle pass expires on September 19, so Dota 2 players have some time yet to decide what to do.
The Toy Butcher Persona may be worth the investment, of course. It’s full replacement for Pudge in-game, featuring an entirely new model, completely different animations, as well as a new voice performance, too. Overall, it’s a very cute cosmetic and feels somewhat out of place in Dota 2. It certainly meets Dota 2‘s high visual expectations for in-game cosmetics, but it does stand out as a result.
255 isn’t even near the highest levels the Dota 2 International 10 battle pass can go, of course. There are 2000 levels in total, with the final level grinding a unique gold Roshan texture, as well as a special icon for players’ healthbars that will last until May 2021. By then, Dota 2 players will hopefully have another in-person International tournament to look forward to.
Dota 2 is available now on PC.
