They might cost a nice penny, though VALORANT‘s next cosmetics are a perfect addition for anyone who wants to provide yet another set of skins for their growing collection.
On Wednesday, April 27, Riot Games will add five new skins to the ever-popular RGX 11z Pro skin line, including a Classic, Phantom, Specter and Operator skin. There is also a butterfly knife that comes with the full package, which should help push anyone who is on the fence to buy the bundle.
Last October, Riot dropped the first set of RGX Pro skins, with skins for Vandal, Frenzy, Guardian and Stinger, along with an expandable katana-style melee weapon. They also came in the basic green color, with different colors blue, red and yellow.
This time, the new weapon choices are getting started with the same color schemes, glowing elements and similar futuristic aesthetics. Once again, the skin emulates the look of high-end gaming computers and the RGB lighting that so many gamers have in their setups today.
“We wanted the skin line to also feel very responsive, tactile and mechanical,” VALORANT said art director Kerwin Atienza. “To achieve this, it has been an obvious direction to go for ergonomic but functional shapes, with a strong focus on streamlined structural details, layering and pushing complexity, while maintaining the style that VALORANT is known for.”
At a specific level, there will be custom visual and sound effects when firing, equipping, reloading and inspecting each weapon. For example, the interior colors of each gun will change each time it is inspected and decided on either yellow, white, green, or blue-green. The butterfly knife will also cycle through the entire color spectrum when inspected before randomly choosing a color to stick to.
As a legendary skinline, the RGX 11z Pro package will cost 8,700 VP or about $ 85. This package will include:
⦁ RGX 11z Pro Butterfly Knife
⦁ RGX 11z Pro Phantom
⦁ RGX 11z Pro Classic
⦁ RGX 11z Pro operator
⦁ RGX 11z Pro Specter
⦁ RGX 11z Pro card
⦁ RGX 11z Pro Spray
⦁ RGX 11z Buddy
The weapons also have kill counters that show how many eliminations a player has gotten with that gun during a specific round. Unlike most state-tracking weapons in other first-person shooters, no matter what, the counter resets after each round.
Even still, the RGX Pro skins have been some of the more popular cosmetics in the game, and they may be on many players’ wish list when it comes out later in the week.
