Whats the most challenging part about working on a new skin collection?

Wondering if you all will love it! Actually, a lot of things. This is a hard question.

Are there ever plans to modify already-released skins?

I say this, because the champion karambit looks so tiny in-game, and also from other's perspectives compared to other knives, and I think making it bigger could make it look nicer.

We don't modify existing content unless it's bugged or providing a competitive disadvantage.

cinetose here! So, how the Premium Content Team can manage so many variables like putting a new bundle every 14-days; making exclusive skinline "out of the schedule"; brainstorm for new ideas; maybe fix or find some glitches; all the developing time before move to Marketing Team? I'll be honest, it seems like a lot of work.

Thanks for all the love you all gave to us this year. Happy Holidays! (Preeti, Reaver Vandal Black/Red still the best, maybe we can dreaming about some Phantom...)

oh man this is a lot of questions so gimme a min. can i just agree that the black/red reaver vandal is the best?

Post

A few of us from the Premium Content team on VALORANT (we make/made the base weapons, skins lines, Battlepass content, and Agent contracts) are here to answer your questions about past and future cosmetic content in the game. Ask us about skins, where spray ideas come from, our favorite Finishers, which skins give aimbot, roast us for Guardian skins, and all VALORANT goods.

FYI, we don’t decide on pricing—so we won’t have answers for you for this AMA.

We’re still creating all Episode 4 premium content and beyond, so we can tease some, but no spoilers! We’ll answer questions from now until 5:30pm Pacific Time, and we will edit this post to say when we yeet!

Thanks for this video. I really love to read about why players purchase certain skins and this was a really thoughtful explanation of your thinking.

I knew you meant all, but it's just that the text mainly referred to devs.

On the team, we call everyone a dev regardless of what their job is. "Dev" just means "developer," and we're all game developers for this game. I like to say that the highest compliment we can pay each other is saying someone is a developer, rather than referring to their actual job title on paper.

I have a question. My karambit is not glowing even though I top frag and yes I have the upgrades. Is there something I'm not doing right?

Are you tied with anyone? You need to be top frag between both teams and not tied with anyone.

You did an awesome job and I absolutely love this set.

I am not easy to please and usually very critical about new skins (e.g. "not another sword", "a kill-counter only for the ongoing match?!", "why no magepunk vandal/phantom", "where is my butterfly knife with effects", "not another greenscreen skin" etc).

But this bundle is literally what I wanted.

A super clean melee preferably a smaller one like a dagger, butterfly knife or karambit with a nice pullout/inspect (crazy spins, check). It also shouldn't be too basic, so maybe some effects (champions aura, check).

As I prefer using the vandal over the phantom, I thought I was set with having the prime and reaver vandal. But oh boy, this will actually replace them both.

I always thought I need a different shooting sound and some fancy reload animations, but no. This is so much better. A super clean, premium "default vandal", that has a nice kill sound and the best finisher in the game hand...

This was a really sweet message, thank you. You definitely understand what we were going for in terms of the esports Champions brand. I LOVE the super saiyan comparison! Never thought to compare it to that, but it works!

I’m always happy when we satisfy players who say they’re normally really critical. Your complaints above were too real haha! We hold ourselves to a really high standard. I’m also a fan of Reaver and this skin is what got me to swap off it (and my Ruination sword).

So you want the skin to blind you while you are top fragging? Sounds kinda funny. Top fragging? Just wait, we will make sure you bottom frag again for a mere 2650vp!

I honestly don't get all the negative comments this time around. Being able to do the Brim finisher every time would make it less special. Having the aura all the time is basically the same thing. The way it is rn you get a boost in confidence if you see your gun glow.

It's a nicer default vandal that rewards you for being good. Which is a refreshing and fitting theme for the champions bundle.

You get it! We very much went with this skin having features that celebrate greatness and aspirational play, much like being a champion. That’s why so much is tied to frags.

Also, this knife has been highly anticipated by players. It's good to not have music so the knife can appeal to the greater audience of the game. Some players might not have liked the music and wouldn't have bought it as a result.

We debated this a lot and you both get it!
