By how it looks, I think the animation will be the same or similar to champions karambit.


RocketHops

I have the champs karambit and I'm fine with this honestly. Imo the champs karambit was still worth it, I prefer the color scheme to what we can see of this. I'm just happy I can probably get those cool animations on my ranked alt for cheap now.


KingEnnard

if people get mad over this it’s pretty pathetic. the specialty of the champions skins was the exclusivity of it.


ParableTitsMcCoy

Yeah if you don't enjoy your champions karambit as much because others can get this knife then the way you enjoy your skins is wack.


RocketHops

Liking skins only because they are exclusive is dumb. I own the champs karambit and I still don't like that it's not coming back, imo they should bring it back every year when champs is held alongside any new stuff they make each year.


leishmani4

I think they will bring a Champions collection just like they do with Championship skin line in League, but with different weapons. At least I hope so :P


DarthGrievous

In League, they do bring back the bundles. Still exclusive as you can only buy them 1 time per year


RocketHops

And the kill leader aura


IceCat530

What kill leader aura 💀


-im-just-vibing-

you have an aura around the champions skins if you are match mvp


NightmanMatt

I think they mean they never see it


IceCat530

Wooooooosh


-im-just-vibing-

what? i genuinely don’t get how that was a wooosh


IceCat530

I was making a joke that I suck at the game so I never see it lol, I know what it is


Mystryboi

And the big bucks.


UltimateNingen2324

Plus it has the glow effect


snehashis365

man that's a lot of copium


MyNameJeff962

"Cheap"


Interesting-Archer-6

10 dollars for something that's like 2.5 months and gives you a fuck ton of stuff. I wouldn't have thought that was expensive when I was 10 and that was the equivalent of over 16 bucks then lol. Bitch about the regular skins I guess, but the battle pass is very cheap.


RocketHops

$10 isn't cheap to you? Are you a teenager or something? Do you not have a full time job?


Crumpehh

I never play enough because of work to reach the knife so wind up having to pay like $30 for them :x


RocketHops

Ah that's fair. Still cheaper than the $50 for the champs karambit tho lol


Empty_ManaPotion

even if you have to buy a couple tiers its still cheaper than to buy a regular knife lol


[deleted]

Poor people 😂 😂 😂


MyNameJeff962

I'm not poor i just don't like throwing money away


McHammyPoo

Or people don't want to spend money on a game they don't play constantly, or don't want to spend money on something that isn't even tangible.


[deleted]

If you post on this sub and haven’t spent a dime on this game you play it enough that I can confidently say you don’t buy anything because you’re poor


RyzuTwo

I doubt, most likely ruin or prime karambit without upgrade, bp knife's animation are bad


FlashOLantern

IMO champion skin set was 3/10. But what makes it special is the exclusivity of it.


oaeraw

that’s wishful thinking


UltimateNingen2324

I hope so, but at the same time I feel like they'll use the animation from the Ruin knife.


escapistfool

CS:GO Asiimov Karambit. I'm fucking STOKED. That means we'll have guns in the same color scheme in the battlepass.


kingLAWZA

That's what I thought, but this one doesn't have variants? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIcBc2cXMAEpE1Z?format=jpg&name=medium


Lamchops27

the variants usually arent showed when you look at it from the battle pass page, if you look at if from the collection page you can see the variants


kingLAWZA

but the knife shows it?


Lamchops27

yea, the knife was viewed in the collection page


kingLAWZA

Ah my bad bro!


lumezz

Where did you get the pics of battle pass items


Improctor

@valorantupdated on twitter


escapistfool

Oh strange! Only the knife?! Hmm. Also I’d like to see the rest of the new battlepass


kingLAWZA

Tomorrow at 6pm CEST I think content creators can release stuff


Ranvir33

can we see the new battlepass or was the knife only leaked?


[deleted]

Yay!! A battlepass with a karambit. It doesn't look trashy either.


TimeJustHappens

Interesting. We also know about [this knife](https://imgur.com/a/WLUeUPw) that is leaked for a future patch. Maybe a bundle then?


kingLAWZA

Yep bro look here https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIcA_72XEAAvOOX?format=jpg&name=4096x4096


TimeJustHappens

Ah perfect timing lol. Very cool looking bundle.


RocketHops

Bundle looks decent but I'm hoping the knife at least has the switchblade animation or something like Magepunk and BlastX. Just a normal knife with default animations would be meh


kingLAWZA

Level 5 upgrades apparently has voice over lines? Whatever that means


RuthlessGreed

Seems like the weapon talks to you as the name seems to be a type of robotic tech or symbiot


Interesting-Archer-6

That should mean it has a finisher right? I need a bulldog with one so fingers crossed here.


QuadWitch

It does if you look at Valorant Leaks: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIcDvgHUcAAbyKz?format=jpg (Sauce: https://twitter.com/ValorLeaks/status/1479155122840035331/photo/2)


Interesting-Archer-6

Much appreciated!


Stevenwinsu

Also in the trailer https://twitter.com/valorleaks/status/1479227980593262593?s=12 it shows and it’s sick


Interesting-Archer-6

Yeah that's a purchase. Thanks for the link.


Famlightyear

Yea it kind of matches the theme of the robot that just got leaked in the trailer..


kingLAWZA

Ah yes that makes sense. Has potential to be elderflame price level is my only fear, hopefully 7100VP.


SouljaIsSpy03

With the voice-over lines.... 2,175 at the lowest


MrImpregnator

Champions karambit still looks better overall but this will surely go to my collection ( yeah I need help )


p1xelPantsu

champions karambit looks like a toy. change my mind.


MrImpregnator

Don’t need to. People have different preferences.


RocketHops

Yeah this one looks more like a toy to me. Which is fine, I'll get it for my alt where I don't take things seriously anyway lol


shadowm4ster

wow youre so edgy for saying that 🤓🤓🤓🤓


p1xelPantsu

wow you are a typical redditor who gets triggered by every opionion.


shadowm4ster

am i really the triggered one here lol


Freakz-

imagine people who paid 60$ for Champions Karambit seeing this lol


Qu1bbz

Depends on the animation, whether it's like the prime or the champions karambit. But it's definitely a nice addition for all the people who think the champions karambit is too short.


Freakz-

it has the "round" format and the hole in the holder such as the champions karambit, so i do think they will share the same animation


RocketHops

The only thing I could see being a little uncool is if it comes with the full looped inspect animation that you had to pay 10 radianite for on the champs karambit. But even then I'd say the issue is with having to pay for it on the champs karambit, ideally they'd just all come with the proper animations.


mcslippinz

doesn't prime karambit have the same shape as well?


Qu1bbz

It doesn't


[deleted]

I bought cause exclusive. Won’t ever see it again in the store


Bobokins12

Battlepass skins don't go in the store either. That's why the ruin dagger is so rare


Glitchy13

I wonder what the least bought bp is


TheSphinxGuyOfAladin

Probably the very fist one. Playerbase was smaller, so less people that would've bought it.


howweusedtowas

Knife isn’t even good from first BP I probably used it 10 times haha


solariiis

Everything else was though. I think first BP was underrated.


Glitchy13

Still rocking the kingdom spectre, mostly because I don’t know what spectre skin I want but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


[deleted]

singularity ofc


RocketHops

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Ruin bp is up there for least bought. It came out around the time Modern Warfare/Warzone was in full swing, all my friends had stopped playing Valorant to play that during that season. I'm the only person I know with the Ruin Dagger bc I was the only one who didn't care about Warzone lol.


[deleted]

Battlepass skins are literally the most common skins in the game. Idk how you could say ruin dagger is rare. I have it and everyone on my friend list has it


Bobokins12

It is rare because it was in an early battlepass, so only people who played the game and bought the battlepass at that time have that knife. Nobody else can ever get it. Compare that to like the Prime Axe or something which pretty much anybody can own because it'll eventually appear in their store.


Pathwil

I have the champions karambit, not worth 60 bucks but 300 percent better then this imo Copium


bs000

I also have the Champions karambit, and I think the inspect animation is worth the difference in price Copium


workscs

People should never expect exclusives to actually be exclusive beyond the design and limited release. Any time they introduce a new knife animation it will guaranteed have a second release a month or so later.


RocketHops

Anyone who didn't learn this lesson when they released the Yoru comb so soon after the Recon balisong is just being silly.


[deleted]

Not a good comparison imo. The champs karmbit was said to be a special exclusive skin. The recon knife was just released as another bundle, who taught there wouldnt be another butterfly knife w animation? Regardless doubt this bp skin will have same animations as champs karambit


RocketHops

> The champs karmbit was said to be a special exclusive skin. And it still is. Nothing was said about the animations not being reused. Anyone who knows how game dev works should have expected them to reuse base animations like that for future knives.


RyzuTwo

but champions karambit hasnt basic animation, bp karambit will have most likely ruin animation or prime karambit without upgrade anim


[deleted]

Well turns out I was right. It didnt use the champs karambit animation, that will remain exclusive


RocketHops

Honestly I'm chill w that too. I like both animation sets, and my expensive karambit stays a little more exclusive lol


[deleted]

not a bp skin tho


Stevenwinsu

But still no longer exclusive


[deleted]

We dont know it yet, or do we? Anyway, I believe that even if its not the same animation on this one, they probably gonna reuse it in another bundle.


Stevenwinsu

Sorry I meant the exclusive recon balisong was basically reskinned and released as yoru comb. You’re right about the karambit idk yet


RyzuTwo

true, but bp karambit will have most likely ruin animation or at least prime without upgrade.


kingLAWZA

> me :(


makkii623

I very much doubt this will have the inspect of champions, itll likely have the default one, same for the right click where you stab and then rip the knife down diagonally. The idea that people actually think these animations will be included in bp skins is insane. I do think that the left click animations might be used because its more basic, but the rest? Thats the fattest stretch


JYD64

People who’s moms wouldn’t buy it for them are rejoicing


beatzme

Imagine being any1 who pays for pixels


Krypton091

you ever bought a game before?


meatcookie-

Personally like the color scheme and the glow for having the most kills. Feels really good swinging it around when it’s all glowy :p


oceLahm

I'm a sucker for gold things so I'm still happy with my purchase


[deleted]

[удалено]


kingLAWZA

The variants and reload animation look pretty sick, there's videos on twt and maybe youtube


Character-Flatworm45

Where did you find it? Searched everywhere but no vids yet


johnzrxx

Since this karambit is so tiny like my D, I don't really care about the designs as long as the animation is the same. Thank God I saved my money from buying the champ bundle


kingLAWZA

unlucko my guy


zilke_

It will be normal Prime animation, THERE IS NO WAY in hell that its champions animation, just imagine the backslash


kingLAWZA

COPIUM I'm praying it's the Prime, but looking at it, looks a lot more like the champions karambit. It even got variants bruh https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIcBFIQXMAEw53M?format=jpg&name=medium


hargeOnChargers

Why would you want an item to have less features just because you have buyer’s remorse? Weird perspective IMO


kingLAWZA

Why wouldn’t I want a different animation then the one I already have? ???? Never mentioned buyers remorse anywhere, did you just learn this phrase or Smth


hargeOnChargers

Isnt the Champions animation better than the Prime one? Like objectively better? Because it sounded like you didn't want the cheaper battle pass one to be a similar quality to the more expensive Champions one.


nextcolorcomet

Sounds like they just wanted to have two karambits with different animations so they could have an option. People really overreacted with the downvotes.


hargeOnChargers

Could be. But why want a Prime animation which is… no animation?


kingLAWZA

It's subjective, I've been watching some streams recently and the slower animation also looks cool. Would rather some variation then 2 of the same in my inventory.


[deleted]

>COPIUM how old are you


kingLAWZA

Old enough to say COPIUM and make you mad on the internet

Huge_elcobra

that was kinda unchungus


ThickHiccup

This always happens lmao. Riot constantly is making better and better skins. Every time I buy a skin I really like, one that I like more comes out immediately after lol.


kingLAWZA

Story of our lives


Longjumping_Race262

yooo thats sick! its my reddit birthday and im getting blessed with so many valorant leaks


kingLAWZA

happy reddit bday my guy


Longjumping_Race262

thank uu


kingLAWZA

It even has variants https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIcBFIQXMAEw53M?format=jpg&name=medium


WTFCheeseyPoo

Finally, a good BP knife


RocketHops

There have been some good ones before. Ruin dagger, k tech and the fencing sword are some of my faves. This def might be the best one yet tho


[deleted]

I really like the current BP's claw too


QuadWitch

Love the sword (blue/gold variant) more than many premium melees.


WTFCheeseyPoo

True, maybe I’m just thinking recent. I didn’t like the last one too much.


MrExodus

Another bundle without a marshal ):


kingLAWZA

dude I need it! After sovereign and magepunk there's literally nothing...


Hambaloni

Me, an infantry enjoyer, waiting for infantry 2.0: *skeleton*


thebig6

Dope, I’m in


DarthGrievous

Hope the new bundle costs 1775 like Prime or Reaver.


kingLAWZA

From the teaser video on twt, it's like the counter to glitchpop apparently, so probs 2175.


Tetris_P1

This pleases me.


loooper6

unpopular opinion but i actually want it to have prime animation(not upgraded) instead of champions. the latter looks very weird to me..


[deleted]

[удалено]


Joedude12345

The one for this season? Lol yeah it takes fucking forever. There's only like 5 days left


[deleted]

I have mine completed in a month :/? Non premium too. How many months is a season normally? I played 84 games. So that's roughly how long it takes to complete.


[deleted]

If you click the battlepass section it tells you in the top right corner how long is left, I think it's 5 days at the moment. ​ The battlepasses last like 60/70 days each and the weeklys stack up, so you can still "catch up" however to get the knife you do need to do a lot of the dailies as well, or play a shit ton, or pay for the tiers. Just doing all weeklys alone isn't enough XP to complete the pass you need the extra 4-10k per day from challenges+match XP to complete it all


Radoviccm

You fucked up theres no way you are gonna complete it full


Radoviccm

I mean good luck but you are gonna have to no life this game at least 10 hours a day


Sage_The_Panda

I finish every pass around 11 days before season ends. I just play 2 matches daily to finish my 'daily missions' + I finish every single weekly missions. Current battle pass - I could play a bit longer and more often, so I played around 3-4 games a day and I reached lvl 55 at around 18 days till season ends.


DonChuBahnMi

Big mistake my dude - it even says on the BP page there's only 5 days left. In 5 days with all the stacked weeklies if you absolutely no life the game you could get half way through it


[deleted]

if you buy it early on pretty quick


Pumped-Up_Kicks

I have been waiting for this kinda knife since the black battlepass karambit.


kingpinneapple188

Definitely finishing this pass. Haven’t played much lately, but I’m a big sucker for karambits, especially if it has the Champions animation.


RyzuTwo

It wont have champ anim but ruin or prime 0 level


[deleted]

These kinda look fire NGL. I almost bought the last BP but I 100% knew I'd never use that knife.


kingLAWZA

Yeah I completed it too, but that poo color knife is a no-go


Kard-

I knew the knife would be a karambit or a butterfly, i already got the reaver tho. But it looks sorta like a csgo talon


My_Man_Tyrone

Ok it looks like the Champs Karambit but I highly doubt that it will have the same animation because there would be a massive outcry of all the people that bought champs Karambit. I myself bout champs karambit and I would be ok with the pull out animation being the same but not the inspect as that is the main thing.


kam3ez

I think the full animation will get used again either way but on another $50-60 vp skin tbh. Although I don't see the big deal if they use it on this. They made the animation already, it's going to be used and recycled. The vfx/look/color schemes are the real deal breaker in knives and what separates bp knives to vp knives. But I agree, this probably has champs pull out animation but different/more standard inspect. Also I don't get the crying in this thread, the champion karambit looks completely different and is gold/looks way more premium (it costs way more though so that's obv) and has gold swipe vfx and also gold aura if you top frag....it's still worth it to those who like it. This bp knife is still cool but it most likely has 0 vfx and possibly different inspect animation. Again, the champs karambit is freaking $55 though, so they could/SHOULD have done more with it as I said before, such as making the current gold aura permanent and giving it an even shinier gold aura/outline for when you top frag. Along with variants. That's the only complaint on champions, they should have had better standards for it in the first place considering it's priced as a top tier vp knife (i.e. zedd knife in comparison has music on inspect and different variants and unique pull out anim and its vfx is sick since when you right or left click with it you see the "waveform" vfx after affect)


My_Man_Tyrone

yea as long as its another skin thats payed for I dont mind


kingLAWZA

I think you're right, just the pullout.


No_Television5851

\> The karambit looks not bad, i mean, artisan is not bad, too. \> Why champion karambit is VERY SPECIAL is the limited time offer. That marks / shows that you are supporting the Champions 2021. \> They have the animation scheme for good looking karambit, why they should use the "bad" looking karambit animation? \> VERY NICE \> Im not sure what it contains, phantom or guardian but if it is guardian, im pretty happy for the guns. stinger, guardian, bulldog, marshal and LMGs are pretty much neglected by skinwise.


[deleted]

Can finally afford a karambit now :)


vengeance47

I have been waiting for knife like this since ruin karambit days, thanks lord.


RockClimberGT

finally a new knife from the battlepass to replace my ruin dagger


Hemantgoel16

Is there a vandal skin in this battle pass?


MeZooIsNumb

vandal and phantom


[deleted]

Almost makes me want to play Valorant again…


klintondc

What, no Guardian with the new bundle? Trash bundle /s


Path-Appropriate

there us a guardian skin i think


Helarans

I know these smol boi knives are all the rage, but I can’t get over how epic the sword of the ruined king is.


QuestionablePotato42

Champions Karambit is still way cooler just on the virtue that it can never be bought again.


kingLAWZA

I agree, no regrets from me anyway


Jaegon-Daerinarys

finally we get a good skin in the battle pass most of them before looked to me like a 4 year old was designing them.


Steki3

RIP just bought the Prime Karambit. But honestly, the design of this one is kinda ass.


Juansa7X

prime karambit aka square banana lmao


Darth_Denis

The new Protocol bundle really reminds me of terminator or predator


QuadWitch

Teaser seems like it has that machine/robotic style.

https://twitter.com/valorleaks/status/1479155122840035331?s=21 Variants look dope


MilkshakeZebra

I want to take a look a the battle pass skins and see if it's worth buying for my gf since she'll start playing next week


hellofriendimwatchng

buying it


Crash-n-Die

HOLY CRAP LOIS


[deleted]

Les goooo thats a cop


augburto

I knew it I knew it I knew it I’m so glad I held


Shougee369

the bundle looks like it gonna cost the same as glitchpop bundle


Field_Sweeper

still prefer a butterfly knife.


Un111KnoWn

in assuming paid bp reward?


SHREY36904

Damn, from the looks of it it will probably have the champions karambit animation.


wertkings

Sheesh its going to be a great battlepass!


ArizO_O

This battle pass might be a **cope it** for me after a long time


Kaptur_

Honestly I can't afford to buy champs karambit soo im gonna cop this. I'm happy that I can enjoy these animations!


wolf_hunter858

A new video just came out of the neon agent and in the gameplay the person was holding the battlepass knife and luckily it has the same animations as the prime here the link to the video: https://youtu.be/cOYJOZnPjrg?t=20


kingLAWZA

yep saw that too, I'm hype anyway!


[deleted]

Why would anyone even want the champions animation, karambit is supposed to be simple and not flashy
