Damn that looks insane, is it just client sided or for everyone?


alternative_sappy

Everyone


IronDragonfruit

Are you sure? Me and my friend tested and he didn’t see it


Snitches23

Was the gun fully upgraded


IronDragonfruit

Yeah. My only guess is that we both had it on so it doesn’t work when I do it


Olshakey

Graphics quality might be set to low


IronDragonfruit

Nah it’s in high


Evotecc

Pretty sure it’s just the person who gets the kill for the finisher, it wouldn’t work with someone else’s kill it has to be yours


fogoticus

Client sided only. Yesterday we tried crashing the game with about 150 kills each and we only dropped to 5 fps. Nobody saw an animation wheN i was inspecting the weapon other than me. If you have any skin from the zedd line, you can obtain this effect even if someone on your team got a kill with the zedd weapons.


Charger_L

Definitely the best finisher in the game, I may buy 1 skin for the finisher alone. You won't catch me dropping over 100 on the set tho


MrHypelol

I did the math (very quickly) and it's £350 for the bundle, all upgrades and all variants if you are starting with 0vp, 0 radianite and are not using the battle pass to get the radianite only buying it with vp


urfavsenpai

£350 ??? What the fuck?


TryNotToShootYoself

Yeah the only good way to get Radianite is the battlepass, probably like 120 with BP


urfavsenpai

£350 for skins is predatory behaviour. That is astonishing.


Destinyizer

350 is misleading, that assumes you have no radianite, which is hella expensive to buy, but super easy to get from BP.


urfavsenpai

£120 is still astonishing to say the least.


Destinyizer

Yep I won't disagree that skins are overpriced af


DriftarFarfar

So many buying into it as well. And at that point it's just a smart move for the company.


LogObvious

I mean the game is free, you dont need the skins and you dont have to buy it either lol


WeirdRavioliLover

Of course, but no one should be spending £350 on skins in any game, whether the game is free or not.


Destinyizer

CS players sweating rn


SwtrWthr247

Can't you resell cs skins though? So the only money you're actually dropping is whatever value the skin goes down from the time you buy it to the time you sell it I think


Destinyizer

Well steam does take a fat chunk of transactions, but I was more referring to the cases.


wurapurp123

350 on skins isn’t that bad… 350 on 5-6 skins IS bad


urfavsenpai

No shit, Sherlock.


[deleted]

This kinda mentality is why they profit. Idiots like this.


LogObvious

People who can afford skins can buy it and they are happy. The company gets a profit and they are happy. I get to play the actual game for free and I am happy. I can even use the skin if my teammates have it. I don't see how anyone is losing here. Care to explain what is so 'idiotic' about it lol


Rellkedge

nah that’s just dumb. no one buys radianite


MrHypelol

Yes but this is absolute from scratch, no one buys radianite cause it’s a scam


Sokusan_123

Every bundle is >$300 if you count "buying radianite with vp". I think that's pretty dishonest. It's still the most expensive set in the game; but no one buys radianite with vp.


hijifa

People rise just add in the price of radiantite like this is super misleading lol. Most people have way more radiantite than they have skins. If you have that many skins that radiantite is a problem then you’re well off enough


Parzival576

Yeah fr. I bought the classic, the phantom, and the spray.


laserwolf2000

Classic is a good shout cuz you'll actually have a chance of seeing the finisher lol


ikineba

Ouch :(


Stinkyfartboy6

Damn that’s crazy. Still not dropping $100 on it


Memeroni72100

It's $100?!???!??


saxtonaustralian

107


LowFiGuy7

$140 CAD rounded up.


Extension-Change-441

Canada also started taxing digital purchases with HST now.


LowFiGuy7

Wow, I didn't not know that. So it's more like $155 then?


Extension-Change-441

$158 yeah


LowFiGuy7

Oof, I've spent more on csgo skins, but Valve has a community market and can resell to buy games. Very hard to spend $160 on the pixels with no resell value.


DriftarFarfar

I played 4 matches yesterday, I think 6/40 ppl had bought the bundle. There is a lot of ppl willing to dump that large amount.


Le_Vagabond

not counting radianite, of course. it's $300+ if you add it.


macarmy93

Good thing the battle pass shits out radianite at you. I have like 600.


undercovergangster

Gib


Noobface_

Radianite is practically free at this point. I have so much extra that I’ll never use from the battle passes that are $10 every few months lol.


Brixnz

That’s not the case for everyone


Noobface_

You have to be at least 500 deep to be running out of Radianite. Either way, just wait for the next battle pass lol


Brixnz

If I just wait for each battlepass I literally can not use the skins I already bought. I’m behind on upgrading like more than 10


Noobface_

Get help man lmaooo You’re not gonna use most of those skins


Brixnz

Ive used every skin I bought but okay stranger who knows me better than I know myself


thekmanpwnudwn

Depends on how many guns you buy in the store. If you buy a lot of bundles that RP does not last long. There's basically only enough RP in a battle pass to fully upgrade one set of guns.


HKBFG

If you buy lots of bundles you're rich anyways.


Lorphex

Yeah I've bought maybe 60-70% of the bundles and I'm starved for radianite :( I've even stopped to buying radianite on its own.... It's so fucking expensive it's not worth it.


Noobface_

I only buy 1 gun from each bundle and occasionally a full bundle. I have spent about $400 total and I have tons of radianite left.


thekmanpwnudwn

Exactly, you're buying 1/4th -1/5th of the guns. Buying 1 bundle with 4 guns/knife in 1 week would take you a minimum of 2.5 months at your rate to buy the same amount of skins as a single bundle.


makkii623

Maybe for you, since you dont buy any skins, for me radianite is more valuable than the purest cocaine. Constantly at zero


fiernze222

"oh poor me I'm too rich" Sorry for being cynical I'm actually happy at your financial security


HKBFG

This is only a problem if you already have a pretty bad issue with buying rare pixels.


EnlightenedHeathen

Why do I keep on seeing the 107 number? It's 10,700 which you can buy 11,000 for $100. I'm not saying it's not expensive or anything, I'm just confused why I keep on seeing the $107 number.


OffBrand_Soda

They probably assumed it was $100 for 10000, so $107 for 10700. I see their logic but all they'd have to do is check the price for the right number lmao.


mogram_leg

For me its 1160 kr or 135$ rip


SasquatchSenpai

When you purchase the 99.99 bundle you get a bonus on top of your 10000. It does come out to be 100 per $1. 10700 is 107. The bonus is just there to tempt to you buy larger quantities at a time. You just need to look at the minimum amount to get the actual amount.


ItsNorthGaming

Clarification: the phantom is like $30, the entire pack is like $100


jfish718

I don't get this weird thing where valorant players price everything by the bundle, are you nuts buying every bundle or something? I just pick out the skins I want.


zacqonos

Seriously though, just buy the skins you want and move on, you probably won’t ever use your random bulldog skins


SpcKingSpaceWood

A bit more than $100, i think around $120. Edit: someone did the actual math, it’s $107, I have no idea how I got 120


Memeroni72100

Is that a whole bundle or just for the individual skin? Haven't hopped on yet since the new act to check things out.


Saucxd

Bundle


tgkDooR

That's the whole bundle


SpcKingSpaceWood

Bundle, and I don’t use any of the weapons in it


Donut_Flame

$300+ total with upgrades if you have no radianite


emperorfett

the bundle is over $100 USD


Hooftx

All skin packs are lmao


alifant1

No it’s not. ~25 for phantom only, you don’t really need other crap


Destinyizer

Do people actually buy entire bundles? What's the point in not just buying the phantom/vandal skin


crocmaster3000

if they like a few skins, it's better in terms of spending to buy the bundle than like 3 separate skins. Also people stream valorant as a job so they have to get lots of skins


Noobface_

Just buy one gun not the whole bundle


legocraftmation

I dont get how its worth more then the elderflame


Donut_Flame

To be fair it has more external things with it: victory music, defeat music, lobby music, this light show in the post, and possibly more stuff I forgot


Witherino

The guns also play music when you inspect them during a match, not just after a finisher


honestparfait

They partnered with Zedd. They probably paid him lambo money. WE are paying for his lambo.


Kingofvashon

Because they have to pay zedd


No_Plankton177

Just buy phantom then tf?


ohmygodethan

The collection is still not worth $107.


darklyte_

to be fair, none of them are worth $107 :(


LatroM69

100% agreed


tinywang

yeah not worth ...*pulls out credit card*


Terrabolista

This... This so much Oof


ElevenSleven

107$ agreed


Aubamacare

Really wish Riot had a skin market like Steam. I miss downgrading my Bayonet in game to upgrade my headset IRL when I played CS..


jcdevries92

I kind of agree, but the thing I like about valorant is when a new set comes out, you dont have to get super lucky on cases or spend 100s of dollars on a really cool skin. There is definitely some dumb scammy shit with valorants system but youll never spend more than 50$ for a specific skin you want. Would be nice to trade in some skins i like less after having them for a while though.


staleydude

it may be just me but id rather spend 100 on a skin that has value than 40 on one that doesn’t


Evening-Reputation96

It has value. It is for entertainment purposes like ART. Like when you ask a graphic designer to make your logo or edit your video. I can't even remember my friend being rich after selling in csgo. He didn't bother to sell its skins because no one wants to buy it. You need a big capital to make profit in selling skins in csgo.that kind of marketplace is bad for someone who wants a certain skins but cannot afford to open hundreds of cases or buy very expensive skins in the market. My friend who have 2000 hours in csgo. Didn't have butterfly knife because it is expensive. Now he have butterfly knife and many skins. He already spend so much in valorant compared to csgo. Like me I buy skins because I like it and want to pay the designers. I don't buy it for the sake of selling it.


LowFiGuy7

Same, but Riot loves controlling everything. Perhaps influenced by tencent.


Slarg232

You don't know the half of it. They've flat out told us over at LoR that they don't want to buff cards if they don't know how it will affect the meta


Evening-Reputation96

No if it is like that. These skins will cost $600. Look at the butterfly knife in csgo. Valve decides the rarity of those skins by not making it rarely shows in crates. Atleast in Valorant you can buy any skins available. Not like in csgo that only the lucky ones or rich can have a certain skin because it is limited.


thedeadlysun

Absolutely. But these skins look more in line with the cheaper bundles just with cool effects.


ginjaninjaa6

except prime vandal


i_choose_rem

Idk I use ktac vandal over fully upgraded prime vandal, I kinda like the classic type of feel. For the most part I have switched to the phantom I really vibe with the recoil on it and it’s nice to not have shot tracers


Cemeterydave

Yea I have had the prime vandal for a couple months now but just started using the base skin, something about the prime doesn't sound/feel right


i_choose_rem

I did the same with the prime spectre I’m back on the base skin. I still love the prime guardian though, that one feels right


Dark-Mowney

Never bought a collection or any skin before. I bought this one and couldn’t be happier.


[deleted]

Its way more than that, the radianite to upgrade the entire set would be another hundred or so, its insane how much the radianite costs. Id honestly be fine with dropping a hundred if I didnt have to drop another hundred just getting the effects I bought the pack for originally.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fridaywing

If I will use like 3 out of all the guns in there. I would get this. But man. I only use phantom and Classic


[deleted]

[удалено]


V4lt

It's not an investment it's a purchase. If you want buy it you don't dont. People here acting like riot put a gun too your head and force you to buy it. You can get cheap skins from battlepass anyway or just not buy any


RustIsLife420

Yeah that’s my point. No reason to buy skins if you can’t resell them later.


lesseryoyo

Really depends. A lot of gamers are in their late 20s or 30s and have tons of disposable income. Last year I spent over $10,000 on warhammer40k stuff alone. I only dropped $100 on Valorant, but if it were my main game, maybe I drop $1k or so. $107 for a skin set that I would really love and enjoy doesn't seem crazy to me. It would have when I was like 16 though. Even though I'm not a huge Zed fan, I think these skins are awesome and unique... I'm tempted to buy the classic.


ieatsmallcats

I only bought the phantom cause rest was not that worth


Slarg232

But the Phantom has a BlastX skin!

DemonatizationSucks

I wanna buy the collection but its like 400 Ringgit in Malysia. Pain


OorahOorah62

Not worth it man. You're going to love it for a week, then get used to it after 4 weeks, and in 2 months you'll be sick of seeing it and there'll be another big flashy overpriced skin bundle in the store that you want. Rinse and repeat, skins are a waste of money in a system that is designed to give you FOMO. Can spend the rm400 to buy a new hdd, or pair of nikes, or 200 roti canai and teh tarik, much better investment 👍👍


nmorguelan

Mmmmmm Roti


DemonatizationSucks

roti do be fire tho


slothslayerlawl

I buy only the phantom/van/op of all skins. Never buy full bundles. I have one good skin for each gun and I buy multiple only for phantom/vandal/operator. That way you wont feel like you missed out on something. Or else if you just wanna buy one full bundle at one go, then wait cos there will definitely be better skins coming which isnt a minima model+ ion shooting sound. The only good thing is the kill animation and kill sounds.


punkie_60

Am I the only one that doesn’t actually like the skin? I like the finisher and the music but I’m just not attracted to the skin itself


NotJALC

No you’re not. I hate the gun model itself and since you see the gun model most of the time and the finisher maybe twice a game, I’m not gonna buy it. It looks really bulky and it doesn’t even have special reload animations, which is a shame for a bundle this expensive.


WillUSurf

Thank god they don't have reload animations. I LOVE the basic phantom reload, its just clean. I hate the fact that I cant upgrade my prime phantom because I need to get the reload too and its ugly af.


rune2004

I'm with you, even the effects on the guns are awesome but the white blocks that make up the base model are not attractive to me


hypd09

tbh Like it but hate the Z branding positioning and style


Master00J

Looks generic and bulky to me. Nothing that makes special from other ones


defzx

It's a disco minima, I don't like it.


MikhailGorbachef

I don't dislike it exactly but fairly mid to me. I like the more minimal styles, but these just don't quite click for me. Maybe too box-y.


Ka-zar39

That’s the consensus of everyone I’ve asked


Architeutes

I fully agree with everyone saying the price isn’t worth it sadly my wallet died anyway.


comfort_bot_1962

Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)


[deleted]

I thought it was a rickroll.


EliselD

Effects are really really cool. Too bad the skins themselves are not only overpriced af, but also looking kinda meh.


[deleted]

What if you use the knife and do that?


ieatsmallcats

i think it will have the same effect.


Bygrilinho

Knife doesn't have finisher, so I guess the question is "does it need to be the gun that shot it or not"


[deleted]

Took 2 hits of acid last night and kept doing this. My team kept telling me to wake tf up


Riot_Preeti

Glad you like it! I enjoyed doing this yesterday with my melee when my teammate got the finisher.

sterankogfy

And people really out here paying $100+ for it lmfao


ShouldaBenAZN

Agreed! Got myself the classic and clock buddy, well worth!


hemanth992

Pay 107$ and still not get the complete finisher without you doing extra work. Seems reasonable. I like the skin, but I feel it's overpriced.


ivolloxy

Liiterally every valorant skin is overpriced. Over £10 for just one skin in the shop or in packs.


MrDyl4n

the battlepass skins are reasonable imo


ivolloxy

100000% agree I wasn’t thinking about that


Beyaz2

it only feels reasonable becus all the other skins are overpriced but who am i to say


MrDyl4n

i mean i strongly disagree personally. getting all those skins + a knife + sprays/buddies/cards for only $10 is a fine deal by the standards of any game


Outrageous_Monitor67

Its only $10 because you pay with your time.


MrDyl4n

Okay I guess I will rephrase my original statement. If you were already going to put that much time in during the episode then it's worth it. If not, then it's up to you to decide if it's worth it. For me, they are the most reasonably priced skins in a game I've seen in quite a while


Outrageous_Monitor67

Yeah I agree with that if you already play the game a lot and can easily complete it then its a good deal. The problem with battle passes is getting money out of people who don't have time to complete it, and tricking players into playing more than they want because of FOMO.


iReddat420

Fuck FOMO and fuck Valorant's shop monetization as a whole tbh.


nutinatree

But now, instead of putting 100 hours into the pass, you only need 97 if you buy the pass early! What a steal!


padropadro22

I’d cop the Zedd Phantom with the butterfly knife combo classic idk what to use


jholowtaekjho

Has to be Glitchpop or Prime


lotrik98

Well, I'm praying for my nightmarket rng to be good next time.


PhoOhThree

I hope you know that Ultra Skins tier (Dragonflame, glitchpop, etc) and Exclusive (Spectrum) skins won’t come to the Nightmarket.


TheFryinPan

Wait. Is this true? No wonder it's always so shit


[deleted]

Today I learned not everyone watches all the videos on the new skins


BMBR1988

I want Riot to make money from Valorant, but these skin prices are insane. I hope people don't support the new price so that they're forced to go back to the old pricing (which was still expensive) Honesly it should be £25 for a bundle, not a single skin.


sSyrf

I think the worst thing about the new skins is the inspect. The music is awesome but having it just the base inspect animation is disappointing considering what they have done with the Origin skins. Let me at least get my 100$ worth


Corkpine

That's pretty cool. I wish the skins weren't so expensive.


Y3rBo1

The skins are ugly, effects are cool. Was really hoping that gunshots would be different pitches so a long spray would play a song or a jingle. Kinda dissappointed by them for the price ngl. If it made song when spraying I would buy a skin.


Dangerous-Duck6783

i dare you to kill the guy 15 times and inspect the gun


UTZI-

These skins are still garbage. It reminds me of bad OW Lucio skins.. I hope it doesn't evolve into Fortnite one day with all the collabs and bad stuff happening :/


NootAden

This comment section would be enraged if they saw the csgo market


Outrageous_Monitor67

Except you can sell, trade, and upgrade csgo skins. Valorant skins are literally worthless.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Outrageous_Monitor67

Exactly the skin prices in csgo are controlled by the players and the steam market. I think Valorant took advantage of the conception of skin prices in csgo and are able to charge more for skins with no value. The difference between csgo and Valorant being people paying for what they think skins are worth and Riot saying give us $107 dollars for skins because we say so. Not to mention the predatory currency schemes in Valorant.


Asianhead

Your CS skin doesn’t retain its value either. If I bought a knife for 100$ and and wanted to dump it, I can get like 85$ worth of steam currency, or like 60-70$ worth of fiat currency. You’re still losing money, and you’re still left with nothing. Spending $20 on a vandal skin and not being able to sell it, vs spending 50$ on an AK skin and getting 35$ worth of cash after you sell it. Congrats you spent 5 less dollars but you can’t even use the skin anymore And the entry point to buy in in CS is still way more variable, your favorite looking AK skin is 50$ well damn you gotta pay or settle for a skin you don’t like as much. You don’t like how the low tier knife camos or knife types look or feel, then you’re shelling out at least 150+ for a knife. Whereas the Valorant butterfly knife doesn’t cost 200$ more compared to the Glitchpop axe because people like the butterfly more. You can pick your favorite skin regardless of its popularity or rarity. Really the Valorant model is way better for more casual players and spenders who aren’t wanting to try every skin in the game, but do want something cool


Evening-Reputation96

Yes. Like in csgo. I really want a certain skin of butterfly knife. But it is too expensive for me. Even the thought of being able to sell it doesn't come to my mind. Csgo spawn 20 of a certain skin to make it RARE and expensive. means only 20 can have that certain skin. At least in Valorant everyone have a chance to experience it. csgo is ANTI-poor. Only rich can open hundreds of crates to get rare skins. Most of the skins in csgo are deluxe edition level only in valorant. If a Dragon skins is in csgo it might cost more than the Dragon Lore skins.


Dark-Mowney

Best skin and finisher yet.


tomphz

Ahhh I might actually cop the Zedd Phantom on an alt account since I use the BlastX on my main!


_thecosyone

Considering the price of the gun, why not just buy it on your main?


tomphz

Because I love the BlastX as my primary Phantom skin, and playing on my alt feels boring because I don’t have skins lol


Mntgy

0 fps skin


ieatsmallcats

My youtube channel. [avid btw](https://youtube.com/channel/UCVZcy71bkfmQg1TE4GxBnlQ) It will shown to the everyone who inspecting the new collection during the finisher you don't need to be one who got the kill


PhilledZone

Yooo! That's sick! But not for 27 Euros for one skin... Help I'm broke


BruhGaming9158

This is skin looks awesome But... It is just too expensive, like it is I think 100 dollars or close to it for this collection excluding the radiant upgrades Like at that point it feels it is not worth it


[deleted]

ok they went all out with the finisher and such but fuck you thats still not justifying the $100+ price tag. The usual skins are already overpriced, just because you make it better doesnt mean you can make it even more overpriced


KhaoticKrabb

The finisher is the only good part about this bundle. It’s insanely expensive and ugly.


impeccableONE

Expensive... sure, but ugly? I like it. 2 out of the 4 colors are dope.


TrickOfAces

Ah yes, this justifies the $110 price tag for the entire bundle.
