The latest skin pack in Valorant looks like a special one, as it could be a crossover with Riot’s other big title – League of Legends. Here’s everything we know so far about the Valorant X LoL crossover skins.
For many years, Riot Games was mainly known for a single game – League of Legends. In fact, fans often joked that the “GameS” part in the company name was unjustified. All that is now a thing of the past. Everything changed in the last two years, when Riot Games started pumping out games like crazy. In the last year alone, the studio has managed to release Legends of Runeterra, League of Legends Wild Rift, and Valorant. Many wondered if characters or lore from LoL would ever make their way into the tactical shooter, and now we finally have an answer.
Valorant X LoL Crossover Skins
A leak from data miners has revealed that the latest skin pack in Valorant might well be inspired by League of Legends.
At first glance, the skins remind us of a few other packs like Oni and Forsaken. Other users compared the skins to Viego from League of Legends, and we can definitely see the similarities. Another fan claims that the pack will be called Ruination. This already exists for skins in LoL. Whether that is really the case remains to be seen, but the fancy colors are already similar.
Many players have been asking for a crossover between Valorant and League of Legends, and they might finally get their wish. So far we have only seen small Easter Eggs from League of Legends, like the Tahm Kench on the bench.

How to get skins in Valorant
Everyone uses the same weapons in Valorant, but that doesn’t mean every weapon has to look the same. After all, you’re going to spend a lot of time looking at your weapon, so looking at it might as well be.
Fortunately, the folks at Riot have the perfect solution for players who need to look good while shooting enemies. Skins are cosmetic add-ons that can change the physical appearance of a weapon, as well as animations and audio effects.
Read on to find out where you can get these unique looks and whether you need to play or pay to unlock the customizations.
How do I get skins in Valorant?
Unlike other popular multi-shooter games, Valorant doesn’t have any special skins to change and customize the look of the agent – at least for now. What they do offer is a collection of skins that can change and improve the way weapons look and feel while playing the game.
They don’t necessarily improve your gameplay, but sometimes looking good is enough to win a match, right?
Spend real money
This is possibly the easiest way to get the weapon skin you want but don’t have the time to unlock. Valorant Points or VP is the premium currency used in the game to unlock agents, skins, and more from the in-game store.
Here is an example of converting real money to VP on the North American server:
- $4.99 – 475 VP, no bonus VP, 475 VP total.
- $9.99 – 950 VP, 50 bonus VP, 1000 VP total
- $19.99 – 1900 VP, 150 bonus VP, 2050 total
- $34.99 – 3325 VP, 325 bonus VP, 3650 total
- $49.99 – 4750 VP, 600 bonus VP, 5350 total
- 99 $ – 9500 VP, 1500 bonus VP, 11000 total
As a frame of reference, Valorant Store Featured Collections are around 7,100 VP. Individual weapon skins are slightly less expensive and generally range from 1,775 VP to 4,350 VP each, with melee weapon skins at the higher end of the price scale.
Before you start searching for weapon skins, you should know that featured bundles change every few weeks and individual skin deals change every 24 hours. So what you see today may not be what you see tomorrow.
