On September 17, new weapon skins codenamed “Ego” arrived in Valorant. This skin pack is offered in collaboration with OneTap. The motto? Skill with style!
The theme of the skins is inspired by streetwear fashion, -and now you can shred your enemies in style. In the past, Valorant skins were much flashier and related harder to sci-fi weaponry, so it’s refreshing to see a set of skins that are more realistic. Also, Riot Games plans to continue working with external designers, so we can expect more stylish collaborations in the future.
This time we get a much simpler and more subtle design for these white, black and gold Ego Skins. There should also be three color variants that mix the two colors in a similar way. So far, the pink/green and red/black variants have been spoiled in Riot’s promo trailer. So be on the lookout for the third color variant to show up soon.
The skins are under the premium tier price for Valorant skins and they are for Ghost, Vandal, Stinger, Guardian and Melee. You can get the full first-person bundle for 7,100 VP – and it also includes a matching map, spray, and gun buddy (seen in the trailer from Riot’s promo). If you just want to buy a skin for your favorite weapon, the prices are as follows:
- EGO Stringer: 1,775 VP
- EGO Ghost: 1,775 VP
- EGO Guardian: 1,775 VP
- EGO Vandal: 1,775 VP
- EGO Melee: 3,550 VP
What do you guys think? The bundle price is lower than other previous bundles. Is that enough to entice you? Or maybe you’ll just buy a single skin? The realistic design is an interesting choice because the other skins look much cooler. Do you want to buy them all or rather save your money? We leave the choice up to you.
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.
