The Valorant developers are clearly open to experimentation – and the Sensation skin bundle is proof of that. Available for a limited time in the Valorant Store, players will have the opportunity to express their skills in colors.
With rumors of the Valorant Battle Royale currently circulating on Twitter and Reddit, we take a look at the Sensation Skins! Blue, green, red, yellow or maybe all of them? Kind of reminds us of those mood rings you used to have in elementary school…. The Valorant Sensation skins follow the Select Edition (SE), also known as the blue circle price tier of skins. Each individual skin costs 875 VP, and the entire skin bundle can be purchased for 2930 VP.
The bundle will include the following skins:
- Frenzy
- Judge
- Odin
- Stinger
- Vandal
Don’t hesitate to buy the package, because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever! It was released on December 3 and can be found in the in-game Valorant store.
The Twitter video below may not be directly related to the Sensation skin bundle, but it really brings home the psychedelic vibe that these skins give us in the office today. It’s definitely on brand and we really wonder what the developers are thinking right now?
Well, we at Esport.Directory definitely don’t tolerate drug use of any kind. On the contrary, we expect you all at church on Sunday! Oh, Corona… Well, then don’t. But honestly, what are the Valorant devs smoking over at Riot Games? Well, it may be a rumor, but I’ve heard that programmers at Google like to microdose themselves on LSD, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the creatives at Valorant were inspired by a little something extra when they came out with that Twitter ad for the First Strike Tournament series and Sensation skin bundle. You guys get my drift, right?
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.
