I don’t hear a difference when it shoots. Sounds like a default skin tbh
It's custom firing audio on the Phantom and Vandal. Check it out once it's in game and let us know what you think.

LMAO I was thinking the same thing, why is this all of a sudden an exception?
It was a bug!
i genuinely didnt expect them to do this so this was a REALLY great surprise
We look at bug reports!
Don’t let these GEN z kids get to you. Boomer here. I played street fighter and DDR in ACTUAL arcades. Also, I remember being excited for sega Dreamcast 😂 which I image the melee is kinda modeled after? THIS IS FOR 90s KIDS. make a skin that looks like a touch screen and these kids will shut up (I tested it on my 3 year old nephew works great). I’m glad to see you are here reading the comments. Really shows that you guys care! CHEEEERS!!
I'm also a 90s kid! :D Thank you for the kind words!
I love absolutely everything about this skin-line except the actual skin appearance lol. How disappointing.
Sorry to hear you love it but are disappointed by the appearance. I hope when you see it in game, you love it as much as we do and appreciate the design choices down to the smallest details (there are SO MANY little details in these that you'll uncover -- like the Operator "powering down/up" by turning red when you inspect, kinda like a console glitching out).
Like other folks in the thread have pointed out: 1. the guns are an homage to old-school gaming consoles (melee is like a controller) 2. the simpler gun model lets the insane visual effects that move across the weapon during idle and react on reload/equip/inspect come to life instead of looking really busy (imagine if we had pixelated effects on the dragon skins -- it would be really messy and visually unappealing).
Do you réalise there is a screen at the back of each guns that activate an action in the game of the skins when you are shooting ?
The little screen on the back also reacts to everything you do - firing, ADS firing, equipping, and reloading. It's unique for each of the different themes too (Knockout, Bazooka, and Dance).
Ohne is a giga troll, every other thing he says shouldn't be taken srsly
But on the other hand as a cs player i don't like val skins because they have diff sounds which makes it hard to know what ur opponent is shooting with, and i can't tell immediately looking at the gun what it is because the shape is changed in skins.
But that said it's just my taste altough i find it funny that riot added 2 of the most popular cs knife finishes to their game.
In third person, all the guns have the same sounds as the default weapons. Reaver Vandal sounds like a default Vandal. The custom sounds are in first person only. We do this because of competitive integrity.
Hello! The missing HEADSHOT text is not a bug. During our normal clarity pass, we called out that the text is essentially clutter in a space where visual clarity is key (especially in some languages). Not only can you already get this information in the kill feed, but we felt the game already gives you the information in-the-moment without asking you to divert your eyes, even slightly (I know I killed someone and if I want to know if they died by headshot, there are a lot of other ways to know it was a headshot). We're referring to the hit visual FX (or blood FX if you have that on), the unique headshot dink sound, the red X on the kill banner itself, and of course the kill feed. So TL;DR, the headshot moment is already communicated in much better ways in-game, where the Headshot text just felt extra without adding more value.
convinced katana attack speed and range are buffed
Mental movespeed buff
Yeah that katana with the sheating animation will legit make me lose duels. Ill be spamming that going around corners and get smoked because I'm drooling over that animation. Its amazing
same - like the karambit for me. im always running around inspecting it.
Would it be rude if I ask how many skins you have or how much u spent?
Not rude. I actually don't know because I never checked.
Question regarding this, how come the same variants weren't introduced to ion 1.0, and why did prime 2.0 have diff colors? Personally speaking, I'd like all of them to be matched. I don't own them all, but just a personal thing
Ion - we wanted to make variants but our team was very small and we didn't have time, so we chose between either Reaver or Ion having variants
Prime//2.0 - it's not the same as original Prime (new design entirely), so we wanted to add new variants; Ion, Oni, RGX, and Reaver are continuations of the same theme but Prime//2.0 is a re-invention
Weird. Seems like having devs using the skins in game would be a net positive.
We have internal test accounts we use for internal playtests (while we are also testing out new agents, maps, etc.), so we get that net positive for testing the skins to make sure they're working well, bugs, etc.
Huh, I always thought Riot employees would at least get a small amount of Creds or RP, and now I know you guys dont.
You're right, we get a play fund, which is awesome: https://www.riotgames.com/en/work-with-us/life-at-riot/riots-play-fund. It's a nice perk. I'm terrible though because I end up spending more than that because I buy so many games and skins. I've already spent more than $400 in 2023 between Steam games, 2 Nintendo Switch games, and VALORANT skins and it's not even March.
Except you made the red variant half blue ?????
What do you mean? If you mean the blue paint swipe, that's also on the Oni Phantom
Yes generally when you love something, you also love the same thing? Doesn't make it a good product, your niche has been filled by 1.0.
They want a Vandal, so it's not fulfilled til they get the Vandal.
You guys did a great job, when the teaser dropped yesterday I immediately re-equipped the Oni Shorty, Bucky, and Guardian that I haven't used in months. Phantom was already set to Oni. I'm looking forward to having the full Oni 1.0 and 2.0 Collection equipped with the katana.
that's so hype! you'll have the full set! what's your favorite variant?
Wait, what? You don’t just have it for free? Legit mindblown lol.
No, we play like players and have to unlock and pay for all the stuff same as players. I prefer it that way because I feel good about the stuff we're making if I am buying/grinding for it too.
Shut up and take my money
Take mine too
oh you made me blush lol, thank you so much.
You know the Raze pretty please spray (https://tenor.com/view/raze-pretty-please-spray-raze-valorant-uwu-please-gif-26098791)? We just made an icon for it in slack after I told the team what you said!
