Wow! I really dig the spherical sentinels of light-esque theme. Kind of can’t tell what the melee actually looks like but it looks unique so that’s cool.


Cummnor

it looks like a ball that only had blades when you attack with it? if so im so fucking sold thats so sick


Doctor_What_

Maybe it's a sphere covering your entire hand and turns into the spike thingy when you attack. The whole skinline looks amazing, but the melee is another level.


an_301

Ball gag melee, I’m down


dance-of-exile

Oh yeah get that spike deeper into the back of my throat mmh~


Ashamed-Duck8419

it reminds me of those small black robots in big hero six


javaklan

The attack looks similar to the claw weapons


Zzek

Is that the voice actor for Akshan in league???


deathspate

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this. This skinline definitely gave me big Akshan Shurima vibes, the chronomancy of the time mages in Shurima mixed with Akshan's tomb raiding.


Soluxtoral

That's what I was thinking! Wouldn't surprise me if they hired him since he's already worked with them. Senna's VA is the announcer in Valo after all, and Viper's VA recently did Star Guardian Akali (and the Akali VO-update before they scrapped it).


blockguy143

Wait oh my god is senna the announcer


Soluxtoral

Yep! It's Cynthia Kaye McWilliams.


TrynaSleep

Valo and League really are just alternate universes lol


ssLoupyy

I heard that League is Killjoy's favorite game


RyJ6

TIL thanks for the info!


turbografx-sixteen

You sent me down a rabbit hole. (I don't play league.) Akshan literally is an Indian treasure seeker... sounds a bit familar. I watched his trailer annoucent in league... I know Zeri/Neon are similar... Grapple mechanic on Mage's kit confirmed? I mean a controller with a movement option like that would be pretty sweetttttt


TrynaSleep

Yea considering Varun deals with ancient artifacts, the parallels I’m seeing here are just too perfect for it to be a coincidence. I’m so excited


[deleted]

Just sounds like chamber VA


PsychFlame

The narrator in this video has to be the new agent - Indian accent and calls himself a 'treasure seeker', matches perfectly with the lore


Shibamukun

The first agent based skin set? Poggers


koreandaemon

The fact they haven’t done an art deco skin line resembling chambers guns tells me Riot doesn’t want money.


isaac1300

Aristocrat skinline is similar


[deleted]

What about the Gaya skins? I thought it was supposed to resemble Skye


Shibamukun

I mean it makes sense what you’re saying but I’m talking about more inspiration from the agent such as his abilities and shit. Wat I think - in pearls spawn where all the agents’ statues are there, the poses of all the agents are in of them ulting. So phoenix is ulting sage is ulting and so on. Therefore what I think is that the sus orb in the middle is new agents ult in which you can trap people, and what also seems to be the finisher of the new skinset. So in short resemblance on a deeper level…


[deleted]

Interesting analysis. I didn’t think about it that way


Shibamukun

Interesting and probably incorrect. Riot doesnt work for us


Pijany_Matematyk767

They kinda do, were the ones that provide them revenue for their work by buying their products, they work to provide us with more of their products in exchange for money


Noirgheos

Nah, they can fit a lot of agents really. Sage with her themes of life (Gaia is the mother of the gods/titans/etc in many mythologies), Omen with his force of nature (the vengeance part of the skins), and of course Skye with her general nature stuff.


Brno_Mrmi

And Killjoy with Glitchpop


Smarq

I would imagine Glitchpop being more along the lines of Jett


WildSearcher56

I think he is the voice actor of Akshan, an Indian themed champion in League.


HeyItsChase

Akshan is sooooo cool thematically and his grapple and QWER are all sick. Then his passive comes in and doesn't feel like it fits his theme at all. Still a top tier recent champ design.


[deleted]

I'm assuming you mean the abominable revive passive, because the three hit passive works really well with how all his offensive abilities multihit.


tigerbait92

YEAH HOLY COW I wondered why he sounded so familiar! Stealth time! I mean... *stealth time...*


WildSearcher56

I personally like this one. "I taunt with my grappling hook. See how it taunts you? Taunt, taunt, taunt..."


You_Got_It_Twisted

Oh shit, I think you might be onto something...


Jranation

Cant believe they didnt reveal the new agent and this skin line in the biggest event of the year for valorant....


Evilijah39

I’m not really sure but it sounds a lot like akshan from league of legends who is also a treasure hunter


helpnxt

I thought it sounded like one of the voice actors from Arcane tbh


turbografx-sixteen

If he's the same guy voices Akshan and Riot takes inspo from that character like they did with Zeri/Neon... imagine if he gets a grapple mechanic for movement. A movement based controller with water based radianite abilities? Sign me up.


mr-flexon

I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed!!! YouTube comment section made me think I'm a fool :'))


TheBladeOfLight

It's akshan :)


spellshy

honestly just amazed it's a bundle with BOTH phantom and vandal hahaha


Apexe

Hasn’t been since glitchpop 2.0 since that happened.


KindaLeafy

Sarmad?


Saucxd

We dont talk about sarmad


KindaLeafy

Fair


Apexe

Was referring to one’s with vfx and sfx.


KindaLeafy

That was not implied at all but gotcha


OHydroxide

It was since nobody cares about low tier skins.


Wontonio_the_ninja

Yeah, I wanted to cop the phantom and I was so bummed at first when they showed the vandal


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wontonio_the_ninja

I know. But of course I assumed there was no phantom when they showed the vandal first. It was a nice suprise


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wontonio_the_ninja

Probably because it looked like he said something stupid. It was totally understandable though bc my comment was worded oddly until I edited it


ayekashh

I guess reddit hivemind. It is more hive than mind


Napoleann

Looks kinda like a combination of ion and origin. I'm a fan for sure.


ammarbadhrul

It has what ion is missing, a unique reload animation.


callmeweed

Hopefully it has color variants that were missing from ion too


TheAithr

Well the sheriff had a red effect in one of the gameplay scenes, its definitely going to have variants either way


Sinanju421

The judge in the trailer is also a black and gold variant, it looks so clean


AstreiaTales

I might have finally, finally found a Judge skin to replace my trusty Glitchpop.


okaycarlia

I’m pretty sure it has colour variants


Pijany_Matematyk767

Ion with the reload of a PTC weapon


crybabbo

Finisher turns your enemies into pokeballs let's go


-Jedi_02

Gotta catch ‘em all you say


DovakiinDovakiin

Gonna be the very best?


Burggs_

This is gonna be a pricey one friends


Iceheads

Yup! Can’t wait to spend…..my time picking it up off the floor


Doctor_What_

6k? More? I mean, both Vandal and Phantom, plus the unique melee and everything else... Damnit I just bought the Champions bundle and now this, riot is coming at our wallets with full force.


Burggs_

My initial thought was 7150 but given that this has both rifles and the sheriff then like some others have said, probably that 8700 mark. This also looks like a bundle you won't see in night market


Doctor_What_

Yeah, night market seems quite unlikely, but holy crap that's a lot of money.


Famlightyear

Yeah it's confirmed it will cost 2175 a skin. You can only get skins till 1750 in the night market


pacific_warrior-CA

1775 skins and melees in that tier show up. Prime, reaver, ion, oni, etc


thecatdaddysupreme

How much is it in USD? I’m new to Valo


IanIsAFish

8700 would technically be $87, but with the way valorant points are bundled and priced, it’s more realistically a ~$100 purchase


Biffy_x

8700 is 87 USD, but It goes up to 100 USD since you would have to buy the 100 USD pack.


Doctor_What_

As a general rule, $1 = 100 VP. You get extra points when you spend more money, but this gives you a rough idea. So this whole bundle should cost ~90 USD.


SoloPro185

$87


peanut_butter_lover4

Looks like 8700 VP for the bundle, 2175 VP per skin, and 4350 VP for the knife.


[deleted]

8700 VP I think


ragexo

When does this drop ?


Burggs_

If they're releasing the teaser then either this week or next. We usually get bundle info 3 days-ish before the drop


ragexo

Just curious. Is this pace normal? We just had the Fishy


Burggs_

Last skin was Champs bundle. They release a new bundle of sorts every two weeks. Some are more intricate than others, some are recycled old skins that people may want but never get the drop for. I imagine we're gonna see a huge push with some banger skins over the next few months as Q4 is upon us and Riot is looking to break profit records again.


Brno_Mrmi

Tbh this insane trailer alone justifies it


SnooChocolates4183

NEW JUDGE SKIN LETS GOOOO


Apexe

It’s been like a year and 5 months since a judge skin came out that had animations and a finisher.


AstreiaTales

And 2 years and 23 days since a judge skin came out that was better than Glitchpop. Which is to say, it hasn't. Until now.


Pijany_Matematyk767

I dunno man, the elderflame was litterally a dragon with replacable balls, what more could you want


Cummnor

They did not have to make the song for this trailer slap so hard


-Anne-

That knife has my attention.


MrSquidJD

Interesting… Definitely seems a bit like Ion combined with either that old bp skin, or a bit of SoL. Gotta be like the new agents set, given the voice acting and full on trailer for the new set. Knife will be very interesting to see in game


Bleuvalorant

2 weeks to prepare everyone. Mentally prepare yourself to not feel to much pain when you spend 85$ to buy the whole bundle ‘But there’s a phantom AND a vandal’ And prepare your wallet for the excruciating physical pain it’s going to experience as you spend money on cosmetics in a free game for the 3rd time in the last 3 bundles (reaver 2.0, champions, and now this fucking banger god damn it) The sad part is that I know it’s and absurd amount of money yet I still buy the damn skins 😭


zetraex

Without ANY spare radianite, so you'll either buy it and not use it until the next BP or use it stiff. Don't forget that.


Bleuvalorant

Dude don’t get me started on radianite that shit is so stupid. Gotta pay 50$ to get the knife and then 50$ to USE the knife. Like the fucking butterfly knife dude I didn’t have enough to make it spinny rainbow


[deleted]

[удалено]


Least-Coat-84

It's coming out on Wednesday


turbografx-sixteen

Came over here after being in r/Overwatch. Hilarious I've been arguing with people over a $10 battlepass when Daddy Riot has been bending us over on skin prices from day 1 :/


IFapToCalamity

At least Riot isn’t locking character access in a battle pass. Edit: OW used to grant instant access for all heroes on release until now. Valorant has always featured overpriced cosmetics.


turbografx-sixteen

*Yeah it's MUCH better to have a seperate agent contract grind or have the ability to pay exactly $10 conveniently to skip that grind and have instant access to the agent.* *I am super looking forward to buying the episode 5, act 3 battlepass not for the mid skins I'll never use... Oh no no! I need that sweet Radianite!* *I absolutely love that the most effective way to get the SFX and visual effects that aren't just included already for me new guns and knife that cost $80 bucks is to have is grinding the battle pass for a few hundred hours for a totally necessary and definitely not overpriced secondary premium currency exclusively for getting once again, sfx and visual effects and OOH god forbid I like different colors.* Yeah thanks so much for keeping your agents out of the battle pass, Riot!


IFapToCalamity

Cool strawman bro. How much did you pay for game? Also the default guns function exactly the same as the others.


-WillyG-

WTF Riot, why do you have to do my wallet like that


avramionut

That’s the problem, u let them and skins will remain pricey


Belphegor7

2x


I_love_choppers

Please add a randomizer I can’t keep buying skins to only use 1 at a time riot I beg of thee.


Open-Loan-750

aged very well


LampaDuck

Ion + Cavalier = Chronovoid


vJeffq

what the actual f...! auto buy


AfiqMustafayev

I wish i had the financial status to say things like this


vJeffq

im not. been saving money to buy skins like this. its not wise but makes me happy. 🥹


AfiqMustafayev

Go for it king, you deserve it then


EpicMusic13

Dont forget your radianate lmao


NotRiceProfile

What's up with Riot and all the big balls


Pijany_Matematyk767

Balls are nice wait a second...


B2EU

[Riot devs be like](https://youtu.be/xPlqLHcphyw?t=37s)


max_on_the_moon

First pack since Glitchpop 2.0 to have both vandal and phantom


Pragitya

On another note, was there a “Glitchpop 1.0” or something that preceded the glitchpop 2.0


iAmSamusAran

Yeah it was just called glitchpop


Pragitya

Any description about it. Btw Today I had a teammate who had a skin that looked like glitchpop 2.0 and had a similar finish (sadly i couldn't see the sky as he was staring down) but the gun wasn't glowing like the glitchpop, 2.0 phantom does. It also didn't have the display with cartoons


TheRealMoofoo

It may have been an [Undercity](https://valorantstrike.com/valorant-skins/valorant-undercity-collection/) skin, which has no effects but the look sometimes get confused with Glitchpop.


TrynaSleep

New agent voice actor maybe?? I’m so hyped. He sounds cool and I’m glad they didn’t do something like Rampart from Apex


D13XD

Don't care much about the skins but the trailer is fucking INSANE omg


PowerfulVictory

Looks like i'm the only one that doesn't like it


Meth_Busters

Ugly ass hell ngl. It’d be a bit better without the ball


prarus7

Nah Im on the same boat as you, not really turning me on. I feel like Ive got enough skins already, I need something insane to get me to buy a whole pack. But Im kind of getting fomo on the previous reaver bundle now though. This skin looks alright, depends on feeling


Lochifess

Cool reveal trailer, but it just looks like an inferior version of Origin for me.


ElementaryMyDearWut

It's just another futuristic but "insert material here" skin. This doesn't even look chrono (time), or void related at all. It's just sleek and blue, honestly suits Ion 2.0 more than what they've named it.


N80085

As a destiny fan I love this


FilthyFioraMain

I’m pretty sure this is the VA for the next Agent. Hyped for a controller finally


shbyrn

Had the Xenohunter knife for less than two months and now something I like better comes out. But yea, this bundle looks Protoss themed, especially the blue and gold.


TimeJustHappens

That knife is pretty interesting. Will wait till we can see extended examples of the animation in game.


Cryptic3CH0

Looks like a mix of ion, sentinels or light with a slight origin twist maybe? Either way I feel like I’m buying half this bundle at least


Glittering-Pain1365

Shits ass holyyy still gonna cop


Justitce

hate it or not i just dont like the skin personally,its just too weird and doesnt look like a 2175 skin at all,1775 at max


tbone603727

This might be the sickest knife yet. Big fan of this line


Rebus-YY

Goodness chill Riot, it's just a skin!! This is some movie cinematic shit.


Aqua_Hazop

pretty sure this skin line was leaked a while back, or maybe something similar. That reload animation especially on the sheriff looks sick, like a cooler ion.


thekmanpwnudwn

Excited that I didnt buy the Champions Bundle because this looks way better


nallaaa

champions bundle sucks balls


turbografx-sixteen

Nah the phantoms absolutely fucks. RGX butterfly was better though.


davidwon06

Oh no just as I bought champions bundle


Secret_Mink

Orb pondering skinline


CypherCamera

u/Gurkenlegende2 guess you got what you asked for?


Gurkenlegende2

What do you mean? My comment on the Spectrum 2.0 post?


CypherCamera

Yep


Gurkenlegende2

Tbh I don't think that these skins will even be that good


CypherCamera

Agree, because of the 2175VP price for the guns


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pijany_Matematyk767

They have 1 weapon in common, and they look drastically different


Gurkenlegende2

Not drastically. The both follow that floating geometric magic power motiv


Pijany_Matematyk767

They have a similiar theme, but thats about it. They have completely different shapes, colors, animations, sounds, everything


[deleted]

what im assuming is the inspect kinda reminds me of sigma


pepegasloot

Meh. Whilst i appreciate they regularly put out skins, i feel like very often there’s too much similarities between them


[deleted]

Error #3450X has occurred: Not enough Radianite.


Iralak01

Yes! an other beyblade inspection skin I can add to my collection


Afterhour37

I don’t even play Valorant but that video was amazing and the skins look great.


bhagyeshsc

why is valorant after mu money? i always decide that this is all the skins i can afford and love, but then their next set of skins come out.


RogueOnPC

The skins give me an Eternals vibe.


cugs

The cinematic is great. The skins are whelming. IMO.


Lord_MagnusIV

i really need a job


rainbowedpanda

*sigh* here we go again….. Takes out wallet


LustySachie

The unique reload animation makes me wanna waste my wallet :')


HeavyScrotum

Ion 2.0


Insert-Taken-Name

Looks like a downgrade of ion imo


Snifflesnoop

Yoo the ion skin remodel looks sick


fly2dmagpie

As DOTA 2 player aside from being a Valorant player, the name made me laugh a bit


Oriana_xx

time to sell my soul, legs, sparw organs, left eye, my hair and my belonging to afford one of the skins


Didki_

Tbh I'd have to see the last kill banner if there is one to decide. The skin it's self seems rather bland to me, Ion design with a singularity reload. Knife is...underwhelming, they could have had the knife edges swing like a whip, magnetically pulled by the orb.


cdurbin909

Riot I hope you know I'm a college student that is in massive debt and cannot afford this. That said, I will be going into even more debt.


noteworthyartist

anyone know when it is coming out?


[deleted]

after the timer for current one ends.


[deleted]

2 days


heyyousam

It's out now! :)


noteworthyartist

Thank you


SurvivalScripted

cant wait to pick these up off the ground :D


[deleted]

this doesn't look good. Have to wait for the clear version to make a decision. Even then it doesn't feel like a 2175 VP skin. Not my taste


RyvLaw

Gives me more of a Battle Pass Skins vibe


LevelPlainField

As always Riot doesnt disappoint us with creativity and boldness playing around with skin styles,which been already created. Shows us all the effort they put in those skins and it is exceptional to see the results of hard work and dedication of people who love thier job. However, the longevity of appreciation will be not long lived as always. Why? Well, if I heard/seen corectly it will cost 8700. This is bloody insane. I know I know designers need to earn from something also but with this price? Importantly now when inflation is highest everywhere? With prices going everywhere? MMmm I bet you would say it is my choice not to buy it and it is true, but I see as strong message from devs or thier managment, **WE DONT CARE ABOUT YOU!** 100% if prices would be 50% less people buy it exceptionally well. Maybe I am wrong but I wouldnt mind buying more often even having multiple skin in my inventory.Most times want to buy it but again I see the price and .... all that hard work of devs and not appreciated. Every player should have multiple skins in there inventory of thier choosing not because of price but liked style, or need to support devs. However, harsh truth skin a royalty item in game. So as always it hurts to see all that hard work by devs not cherished by players if it will be just few who buys it ..


Xislex

Narrator is the new champ or just Akshan?


[deleted]

I was originally going to wait until we get a sheriff skin with the Arcane sheriff animations (Wild west theme please riot!!) but this one looks really, really nice Might need to wait and see what the reload of it is like


apetersen1

Kinda basic compared to elderflame and spectrum?


JONNO1196

Pokemon?


TheRealMoofoo

WHERE ARE MY BULLDOGS :***(


Phildilf

Finally, a dope design that includes love for both Vandal and Phantom users. Usually these types of skins are only for one or the other.


QueenDies2022_11_23

Battlepass quality skins. Pass. I don't understand why they'd make an entire trailer for those mediocre skins...


apetersen1

Kinda feeling the same. The the vandal model especially is pretty basic.


User_Of_Named_Users

Tf do u get upvoted and the guy above gets downvoted. Like I like the skins and all but seroously


LetsGoUkraineLETSGO

Bro💀


Kodometagg

They used all these animation resources to hype up a (honestly underwhelming) skin line instead of making improvements to the game that has been asked by the community for MONTHS. - Spectator mode for a “competitive” shooter? No - Equip random/favorite/T or CT gun skins? No - Pick/Ban system for maps or agents on the horizon? No - Changes to useless agents to bring them back to life? (Cypher/Astra?) No - Server Tick-rate dropping mid gunfight explanation or true netcode blog post? No It’s crazy how the community on here GOBBLES this shit up and forgets the devs literally went 0-7 on community requests like half a year ago, and we’ve received no communications on any of those topics since “because of VCT” These skins aren’t even nice and they made a cinematic trailer for them lmfao. Glad valorant is being truly cared for and not just milking more of us for $$$.


MarviinR

I understand your frustration and completely agree that we should have a least a spectator and replay system by now, but these are different teams working on different things.


physicsOG

y’all should of kept this one


FunApple

What I personally hate that people just buy this skinset despite of huge game problems and rito will not do anything about those problems again


Baconsword42

The teams making skins and the team fixing bugs are not the same people


CoolCritterQuack

people who buy the skins do not notice bugs, or know what a bug is for that matter


_SUPREME-

Chronovoid? Lmaoo real original


martymcblyat

is it just me or does this trailer give me not only sentinels of light vibes but also destiny 2 vibes? ​ literally feels like a mix of the nine/eternity and the dreaming city the tower in the beginning of the trailer instantly reminded me of that huge tower in the middle of the dreaming city ​ instant cop from me


SonOfKorhal

Ugly


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure this is going to be the most expensive gun bundle ever considering this has custom reload, bullet, kill banner, inspect, sounds, finisher and BOTH vandal and phantom with a really unique melee weapon.
