Riot Games has announced that old skin bundles for Valorant will not be coming back. But that doesn’t mean you won’t have a chance to get the skins they contain.
If you just started playing Valorant and want to get the fancy Elderflame bundle, that’s no longer possible. According to Riot Games, old skin bundles will never show up in the store again. If you don’t purchase a bundle during its availability period, you won’t have the chance to do so at a later date. The same goes for all future skin bundles as well.
Riot employee Riot_Preeti announced the news on Reddit as follows:
“We currently have no plans to re-offer old bundles, so the only way to get old stuff is to buy it from the store, whose offer is constantly changing. I believe if you bought all the skin line weapons in the store and then see the knife/melee skin, it should be $0/free (so don’t buy the melee skin first!). But please don’t nail me down on this. I recommend checking with player support! If you buy the skins this way, however, you won’t get the accessory pack (this is only available if you buy the full pack from the Featured Store).”
Skins and Bundles
So if you want to buy a certain skin, it is still possible, but you will have to pay the full price for it (unless there should be discount promotions). The idea behind the bundles is that you can get multiple skins for different weapons at a reduced price. According to Preeti, the bundles will never return to the store as a whole, which gives them a sense of exclusivity. You can still wait for individual skins to show up in the store, however, you will never again have the chance to get the additional items in the bundles – player cards, weapon tags, and titles.
It’s good to know Riot’s strategy, as many players think twice before buying a bundle. So, if you see a bundle with skins that really appeal to you in the future, you might want to grab it now before the bundle disappears from the store again.

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.
