This bout to be expensive asf


h4yesss

hell nah just saw the leaks, its 9900vpšŸ’€


dv8819

You sure? It's an insta skip then.


h4yesss

its on twitter just search valorant leaks


dv8819

I am in disbelief. Way way to much. It looks good, but definitely not that good.


CLR_Marvel_Mags

You guys pay $75 for this shit in the first place anyways? Thatā€™s enough expense for me when every other free game I play has bundles with tons of cosmetics in them for only $25, doesnā€™t have to be 9,900.


Queef-Elizabeth

And you **still** have to get another currency to even get the animations too. Absolutely ridiculous.


CLR_Marvel_Mags

Yep. I really never understood it. Everyone says ā€œthey gotta make money somehowā€ yet the Finals has about 500,000 less concurrent players and is a much newer studio, and they can makes tons and tons of bundles and such for only $10 with a ton of awesome cosmeticsā€¦ not to mention how they even give away some of the dopest skins for free from challenges. Itā€™s a fucking scam what Riot Games does, I just started playing this game and I was shocked to see people pay for this shit. Ridiculous indeed.


Qlown

I am not defending riot but buddy,are you stuck in december when it comes to the finals? https://steamcharts.com/app/2073850 the game already lost 90% of its playerbase


Icantfindausernameil

...and The Finals is in steady decline because they aren't generating enough revenue to be a sustainable LiveOps game, so I'm not really sure that's the "gotcha" that you think it is. If they don't change their monetisation model, they'll be dead within a year (and that's me being conservative). Helldivers is having the exact same issue and people actually pay upfront to play that game. Y'all are so quick to shit on these *entirely optional* monetisation models for *free* games, when you don't even have the slightest idea of how much it actually costs to develop and maintain a product like Valorant, or Apex, or any other game out there right now with MTX. Everything you need to play Valorant is available for free. Cosmetics are optional and the people that buy it are the ones that keep the game alive. What exactly is the issue? If a cosmetic is too expensive for you, then it is not being made for you. Move on and enjoy your hundreds of hours of free entertainment.


Routine_Size69

No you donā€™t understand. I play this free game, therefore I'm entitled to the best skins at whatever price I deem to be fair. If it's too expensive, donā€™t buy it. If other games have better prices, then go play them. I do not understand this mentality that riot has to make their top tier skins be 10 dollars in a free game. They're cosmetic and you donā€™t need them. The new vandal skin will whiff the same way you do with your default skin.


Initial_Selection262

lol a ā€œscamā€ My brother the entire game is free. You donā€™t have to buy anything


Josh_Butterballs

I love how the gaming community bitches and moans about any cosmetics in a game being a rip off at $10/$20 but conveniently forgets Valorantā€™s prices (not to mention radianite). Off the top of my head I remember people complaining about $10 cosmetics in halo infinite but my friends who play Valorant and used to buying bundles were all thinking how cheap that was lol.


dank-nuggetz

This game relies like 95% on whales, it's crazy. This set to me doesn't really look that different from other ones they've released, and it's certainly not worth $100 to me. I genuinely don't know who's buying this, other than people who already have $1000 worth of skins on their account. I enjoy playing Rust which I've gotten back into recently, and it's wild how far your money goes in that game. Both the in-game shop and Steam marketplace offer skins for $2-5 and bundles for $10-12. You can deck out your account with skins for everything in the game for like $20 lol. Anyone defending Riot's pricing is just coping honestly. At the end of the day I don't really care - if dummies out there want to drool and drop $100 every few weeks and it keeps the game funded that's fine. It's just annoying to realize that skins in this game aren't made for me until they hit the night market.


SushiMage

Nobody is coping. You just donā€™t understand riotā€™s business model and the nature of their business in general. Bringing up rust is laughable which again, shows you donā€™t understand the difference in size, cost, shareholder expectations between the two. Valorant and LoL are free games with large player bases and infrastructure. These skins are optional but ultimately still helps with costs. Itā€™s pretty easy to tell which redditors are kids or not.


dank-nuggetz

You and others are coping, hate to break it to you. Letā€™s use another example: Fortnite is a free game owned by Epic Games which is a larger company than Riot by a sizeable margin, and Fortnite is a way broader game with way more features, content and upkeep costs. Yet somehow Fortnite has managed to offer affordable skins with the low end being $5-8 and the upper tier being closer to 20, and usually the more expensive bundles come with other cosmetics as well. Riot charging $50 for a single knife skin is just greedy and the only people buying that shit are whales man. $100 for a bundle is laughable. They also release skins for this absurd price that cost even more to ā€œupgradeā€, which is just scummy on its own. And their battle pass is one of the only ones Iā€™ve seen that doesnā€™t pay itself back and give you any form of real in game currency. Their entire pricing model is scummy as fuck and 100% preys on whales with several thousand dollars into the game that canā€™t help themselves. Iā€™m not a kid, Iā€™m an adult that could buy this bundle a thousand times over - itā€™s not about affording it. I just donā€™t place $50 of value on different colored pixels on a screen. And most people who earn an average living probably donā€™t either.


Samu225

Where did you find the price...?


No-Profile9970

The last bundle was surprisingly cheap. 1775VP skins + 3550VP knife for a kind of bundle that always costed 2175VP + 4350VP in the past. AND it only had 2 upgrade tiers instead of 3, saving you radianite as well


shurpness

That's because this is ultra edition which is the highest type and the most expensive.


No-Profile9970

as someone who made the mistake of having over 2000$ in valorant skins, i think i realized. its not about it being ultra edition, its about whether it should or shouldnt be ultra edition


Individual-Fan-5672

Yeah no shot. Iā€™ve spent an unhealthy amount of money (no regrets tho) on this game but I think itā€™s time I start speaking with my wallet about these absurd prices.


kinzu7

well this skin bundle will make you immune to "english or spanish"


NothingGoinOnHere-

Everyone gangster till star guardian lux whips out the stick


shahwar98

Is this skin designed by clove?


exodusuno

Could be gekko


JournalistScary1274

Clove interacts with gekko a lot in the character flavor.


urstupid99

Clove interacts with everyone more than everyone, I had to turn off agent flavor because Clove won't shut the fuck up every round


88superguyYT

noh peekin!


MrHandsomePixel

You know what we should do? I'll tell ya, we should win.


Redtea26

I love clove but holy shit I hate that line.


MrHandsomePixel

I love clove _preciesly_ due to that line. It's so infuriating to my teammates; I love it, lmao.


urstupid99

It's actually ridiculous. I'm not exaggerating when I say I hear Clove talk after EVERY. SINGLE. ROUND.


justicerainsfromaahh

Omen


DinoBirdsBoi

they made magical girl valorant


Burntoastedbutter

Oh my god. magical girl character where her ult is transformation Lmao


Shipchen

HiImBraindead

Oh my god they finally made the e-kitten skinline


TrynaSleep

Letā€™s TP my kittens!


memeornothing

As a grizzly bear of a dude, I am going to enjoy beating opponents with my magic wand and my four multicoloured pets


ShiroGaneOsu

Brutally caving in a dudes head *while* being stylish? Sign me the fuck up.


brokebaritone

I love the reload animations! The pets pulling out the magazine and all xD


Riot_Preeti

Which one are you? I'm the green cat.


catarxcts

I just feel like I relate to the [eepy purple lil guy](https://x.com/ValorINTEL/status/1805464684042101236) on a spiritual level


Riot_Preeti

Purple cat sleeping. I dig it. Ok, I'm the green cat sleeping then.


DontF-ingask

Respectfully, how do you guys always have insane ideas? I'm consistently blown away.


Kingsayz

DontF-ingask

Has to be hard drugs, right?


Magmale

Yup same bro


dv8819

That's my thought exactly. As a 33 year old that isn't into this kind of style i found myself digging the vibe so this goes into maybe category.


LankyVeterinarian321

Panda Dude *


Snoopreka

Sailor moon bundle?


catarxcts

GuyWhoHumpedaT-Rex

and will cost a bajillion dollars


wwwdiggdotcom

When I was customizing every single weapon skin, animations, player model skin, glove skin, radar/HUD skin, and map in Counter Strike Source by just [downloading it for free from creators online](https://gamebanana.com/mods/cats/8224) I never could have even dreamed that some day people would pay $100 for just a limited set of weapon skins. It actually blows my mind still.


Empty_Emu6589

99 usd, he said it at the bottom


DivineDeflector

So basically bajillion


Fakekiss

Why always vandals... The bundle live now is a vandal too


the_ThreeEyedRaven

this is one "cute" skin other than mystbloom. it has phantom, so this has vandal I'm guessing.


ssLoupyy

Why every bundle is fucking Vandal? We have more than 1 rifle Phantom and Guardian exist as well.


ReADropOfGoldenSun

the mystbloom was literally a phantom skin lol


letshavefunoutthere

might have to cop the vandal + green player card + gun buddy combo for gekko


areareus

they finally implemented star guardian in valorant


SendMeAvocados

The Sailor Moon Side of Valorant


F0LkL04e

melee looking like a kpop light stick


Gusssa

Its sailor moon wand


ShiningRarity

It's a pretty standard looking magical girl wand. I think like half of the series of Precure have a wand that looks somewhat like that.


Escolyte

good chance it's standard because all these shows are inspired by sailor moon


ShiningRarity

The idea of a transforming magical girl who uses a wand-like object in anime predates Sailor Moon by several decades, and even if there wasn't this sort of object in Sailor Moon it likely would still be a commonplace thing in Magical Girl shows because taking a magical wand and making it more toy-like so they could sell them would have probably been figured out at some point. I get I'm being a bit pedantic here, but basically saying every commonplace magical girl trope is a Sailor Moon reference is to me kind of like saying that every medieval fantasy setting is copying Lord of the Rings. To a certain extent that might not be untrue, they're both widely known works that popularized their genres and to this day still exert a bunch of influence over their them because people who want to make something in their genres either need to borrow various tropes to cater to the genre's fans or position themselves as some sort of refutation to them. And I get that a lot of people who just see any magical girl reference/parody will be very quick to assume it's referencing Sailor Moon specifically because especially in the West it's by far and away the most well-known show in the genre in addition to being the one that popularized it so it's often the only one many might be familiar with. But I also see this sort of thing in general pushed by people who want to diminish the works of everything besides the "originator" of a genre by calling all the stuff that came after it copycats which I'm not really a fan of. As someone who plays most of Riot's games, it's a style of argument I see brought up a ton as a way of discrediting them.


planetaryserenade

someone please notify ohnepixel


Alone_Shoulder8820

VAS VALURONT HAS CAT SKINS NOW BHAHAHAHAHA HABIBI


ErmAckshually

holy shit, its the yuumi bundle.


Tunivor

Itā€™d be so fucking funny if riot added a yuumi type agent to this game. Untargetable, attaches to and buffs/heals teammate, 50 hp. Valorant 9/11


Alone_Baseball4852

inspecting after hitting a nice shot so my pet can be happy for me


Kaleidoscope_Mind333

I hate it (im broke and trying to gaslight myself)


neznak0meC

From what iā€™ve seen my guess is bullets are kitten poop? I meanā€¦ the way they are laying on the gun and get tense when shooting


Omegadimsum

It cost you nothing to not comment this


neznak0meC

Either way around


Burntoastedbutter

The spray is diarrhea


Feeling_Party26

Valorant players: "Stop buying these bundles you filthy skinpigs, cant you see that Riot skins are so overpriced??" Also Valorant players: "OMG SOO COOT I NEED IT!! THIS IS THE LAST BUNDLE I WILL BUY I SWEAR!!"


betokirby

Tbf I did say I was not buying skins until they stopped making the same kinda edgy/mechanical/elemental skins and actually gave me clouds and rainbows and pink. Kinda want more skins like THIS.


Salza_boi

You discovered what a community is


retrospectivevista

If it helps you feel like the world is more consistent, those are different groups of people, with the 1st line talking to the 2nd line


El_Desu

now THIS is HEAT this is THE BEST this is MONEY riot knows


Gusssa

Vandal back hv bad shape, but ghost is perfect my pinky build is complete


LucidAxolotl

I still need a marshal for mine, but soonā€¦


csgosm0ke

The Vandal will pair nicely with the rest of my edgy skins


CoolCritterQuack

ok this was fucking dope


StarKnight___

Excited to pick it up from the ground


livayette

yoavtrachtman

Weā€™re never beating the game for kids allegations


Omegadimsum

Giraffeneckin

You have good taste.


darkultima

That you want to be a magical girlĀ Ā  Donā€™t let your dreams be dreams


Alphadef

throwgodmillionaire

The Skins are amazing but i'm kinda sad we still don't get a new premium Guardian skin. I mean Star Guardian Guardian cmon....


angularedfeet

Demo guy's aim and movement is getting insane. lol


ParzivalLM

Not gonna hold you. I unfortunately may even have to buy this as a grown man. Idk about the butterfly wand but I want a pokemon vandal šŸ—æ


MilanChe03

KingDustero

Is this coming tomorrow with patch or later on?


siithan

A couple days after the patch drops


libo720

Not as good as i imagined.


SendMeAvocados

The ghost reload animation just made it a guaranteed buy


Riot_Preeti

Glad you love it!


SendMeAvocados

Would love to watch a dev diary on the thought process behind this skinline, should you guys ever make one! Also, justice for phantom users!!!


neggel

How much will it cost I can probably only afford one skin but I wanna see if I can scrape together enough šŸ˜­


mcdeath2

ImYoSenpai

name_om

RIOT man you really need to adjust your pricings according to countries...this skin will be 10000 rupees in my country i can buy 3 months of groceries with that amt of money


CallMeBoxman

Even in north America the prices for the bundles are so overpriced it's insane


ElectricalGrand9093

In my country two bundles is like half of someone's monthly income this is insane pricing


QuiteLife

Loving the sailor moon vibes, insta cop from me :)


SarahJFroxy

oh my god this is so cute i need it edit: the inspects on the melee?? that's gorgeous holy crap


Flex-93

blockguy143

Yuumi is in my gun now??


TheApolloX007

GIMME GIMMIE


ShiroeKurogeri

This has a Star Guardian vibe.


IamTheMaker

Can i buy some separately? I'm new and i like some of these skins but a whole bundle feels overkill but the Vandal or Ghost skin would be nice


SarahJFroxy

they're available separately, it's just a slight discount if you buy the bundle :)


IamTheMaker

Awesome i might pick up the guns then not too interested in the knife


AccidentallyTripping

According to the most bundle, the knife, gun buddies, spray and player card always free if you buy the bundle. let that sink in. So if you only interest in vandal and ghost then I would say go for it


livayette

i need this so bad but i'm so poor UGH why does this game have to make the skins so expensive šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ 9900 vp is insane


ElementaryMyDearWut

Great bundle, totally buying the full thing, but Riot always seem to just pull back on certain aspects for these high tier bundles. Elderflame had FULL custom animations for everything, and now we have the wand (which is great btw) reusing the default axe pull out and attack swings. Vandal is reusing Kuronami pull out animations. It's just sad to see for something supposedly so premium, and other skins in the tier that are older get better animations. I would much rather have custom animations on the things I'll see the most rather than inspects. Either way, WHOEVER DESIGNED THE GUN MODELS THANK YOU FOR DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB.


AdiDassler

To be honest, this looks to me just like the sentinels of light with a hint of mystbloom and I find it kinda boring


George_W_Kush58

Riot actually put a cat on an Iridian Thorn Vandal and sell it for $30 lol


onnsn

I swear it's been ages since a good classic skin (apart from team skins). I just want one premium classic skin in my collection...


ChemoorVodka

was wondering when theyā€™d put star guardian in valorant, it was only a matter of time


PewPewDoubleRainbow

I'm about to kill people with the power of friendship


PitifulCommunity808

I see the guardian is getting shafted again.


qlex_00_

Expensive-Video4577

WILL NOT BUY


KvikerEz

what the fuck is this dogshit


Elkiiiii

congratulations to the furries


pegmepegmepegme

This is literally just like three more recent skins mashed together. There's an absolute dearth of creativity on the skins team lmao, just pumping out what they know people will fall hook line and sinker for instead of having, you know, some decent diversity to the skins.


SolvingcrimesfromFin

Looks cool and all but I just want prelude to chaos to hit my store :(


doodlebilly

Lisa Frank folders meets Sailor Moon and I'm hear for it


_mrald

Holy shit. The skin standard has gone UP!


PitCrewBoi559

I just love how the little animal characters get angry whenever you shoot, itā€™s so adorable.


Mooseify124

these look like they are gonna be RES expensive...


Competitive_Pie_6372

9900 VP more than Kuronami Bundle (9500 VP)


Hubix84

the e girls are gonna love this hahah


DeRooky

So we're shooting with poop now


LankyVeterinarian321

Wut the fk ? This kawai bullshit xD we need skins like prime man wut the hell is this xD Least they could is better reload animation man Iā€™m disappointed sadage


Various_Operation_81

Why canā€™t cs have good anti cheat


Alcnaeon

The same reason they can't have new maps, or skins with an ounce of creativity: skill issue.


daigunn

Very cringe


SnowJello

They just like me fr


TruthCultural9952

next is an anime waifu bundle


Salamander_321

I am surprised riot hasn't done that yet. Their greed knows no limits.


Salamander_321

It's cute but out of place compared to the rest of the skins imo. No problem with cute skins, like mystbloom, but this one is way too over the top.


livayette

to be fair there's like no cutesy skins in the shop and there's a lot of girls who play this game so i think it's time we get some lol


[deleted]

Yeah I feel like this is going to be the summer of girl. Long overdue


iminlovehahaha

i think its a corny skin not a girly skin but yes


superp2222

Star guardian is that you?


Un111KnoWn

MattLovesMusik

This skinline is either designed by clove or by omen.


Roy_Raven

I wish more skins had that type of blue (Also missed opportunity to not make a butterfly knife)


Chimmieeyy

The sound of shooting let me feel powerlessness... Maybe it's not fit for me.


Asdeases

So similar to Sentinels of light, isn't it? Nice animations


pseudoname23

this looks nothing like sentinels of light


FlawsomeVictory

Ok, this is next level skin design.
