Expect to see more S-tier skins in Valorant as Riot Games has introduced the Combat Crafts bundle, which features budget-friendly cardboard versions of top skins.
Valorant can be a feast for the eyes, and the placebo effect from each Premium bullet can be helpful on bad aim days. Unfortunately, the most popular Valorant skins are out of the price range for an average player who’s simply grinding for the golden Radiant badge. While Riot’s introduction of the Night Market helped thrifty players, it’s not enough for many to take the plunge on expensive skins.
Riot Games is tossing Valorant players a bone on this front. Kind of. The Combat Crafts bundle in Valorant offers a fresh take on fan-favorite skins with a hilarious twist.
All Valorant Combat Crafts skins
Valorant’s Combat Crafts skin bundle will give players cardboard versions of four popular skin lines.
Combat Crafts includes cheap replicas of existing skins made out of cardboard. The bundle has skins for five weapons, and each variant is a budget copy of Valorant’s top skins. So, instead of color variants, players can now select which cheap copy they want to flex in Valorant. It might sound like a silly idea, but many are already reaching for their wallets to snag the bundle purely for the memes.
Here are the skin variants in Combat Crafts:
- Spectrum Skin
- RGX 11z Pro
- Reaver
- Oni
The Spectrum bundle is one of Valorant’s priciest at 10,700 Valorant Points. Unsurprisingly, it’s also among the rarest, as many players couldn’t afford it at launch. With Combat Crafts, fans can now equip all four bundles—minus the dazzling glitz and effects. Since all skins are made out of cardboard, animations, VFX, and SFX are not included.
Valorant Combat Crafts is available for these weapons:
- Phantom
- Frenzy
- Bulldog
- Judge
- Melee
These skins are already a hit with players, so it’s likely that Riot will release more sets in the future that incorporate other skin lines and weapons.
Valorant bundle Combat Crafts release date
The Combat Crafts bundle will likely arrive as part of Valorant patch 9.10, which is set for release on November 19.
The exact price of the skin line is unknown. No matter how unique or silly they may be, they’re still copies of skins without animations. So, the bundle should likely be slotted into the Deluxe tier, priced around 5,100 VP for all items.
