Sick melee, got me thinking if I want this or Celestial fan. Really appreciate the devs for taking the feedback from the Forsaken bundle sounds and applying it to this bundle. :) I think you guys made the right decision on turning up the sounds because people really enjoy hearing the gun sounds as they fire the guns.

We literally did take that feedback! Glad you noticed. :) Our audio designer is awesome and we talked about it. Forsaken’s Vandal has custom audio but some players thought it was hard to hear. He tuned the audio on Origin so it’s even more apparent than it was on Forsaken.

We always want to be careful with custom audio because some people will be very sensitive to it. We never want a player to pick up a gun, fire it, and not know what gun they’re using. We’re starting to see that our dev team is more sensitive to this stuff (a good thing!) and actually players do want more distinct audio than we expected. We never want stuff to feel pay-to-lose, so I’m glad we are pushing the bar in terms of the custom firing audio but doing it slowly and deliberately.

Well i am no pro, but yet high elo player. I'd say that inspect animations are definitely cool, but when you're focusing on the gameplay, you don't really pay direct attention to it, you just kinda do it subconsciously by pressing or even spamming the inspect button. And in most cases, it happens with melee, because, for example, with Vandal inspect animations it literally block the crosshair (which honestly got me killed at least one for sure lol). What I do appreciate tho is definitely animations and sounds of the weapon. Pretty sure you already know that, but those skins are just kinda easier to play with cuz of that reason :D Anyways, that's my take on that. Maybe not the very well defined one, but still :P

Hey, it's an opinion and that's always helpful to hear! :)

For me, the most compelling reason to buy a skin is one that FEELS enjoyable to shoot in-game. And I think it boils down to two key things:

1.firing audio. Does the audio of the gun make vandal one-taps feel even more crispy? (The prime vandal and reaver vandal do this very well IMO). Does the staccato-ness of the firing rate make my phantom feel like an accurate laser/helps me time my recoil better? (The oni and prime phantom do this very well IMO. Nothing more satisfying than hearing the quick burst of oni phantom followed by a headshot kill-confirm sound cue. Conversely the singularity phantom’s sound was very disappointing for me. Kinda sounds like its pooping out rubber pellets.)

2.looks. Cool looks are obviously key. As is a pronounced bullet tracer that makes the weapon feel more accurate. Prime, reaver and oni bundles have great tracers IMO

I love that you use the word FEEL. We use that word a lot too. It's not about the individual components of a skin but instead how it all comes together to feel like a fantasy.

I can’t speak for everyone but for me and my general friend group I and they inspect a lot and we love that over the reload and equip animations. You’ve all gotten some great responses from this thread and for sure you guys will continue to do an amazing job with the game.

That's great to hear. I'm honestly really excited to read through all the comments when I'm out of meetings. Sean Marino (oniram) really got a good discussion going! :D

I love the inspect, I myself will pick up the vandle because it looks absolutely amazing. I prefer inspect over reload animations, I just think they look so much cooler. You guys really nailed it with this skin, well done man. I absolutely love how you guys are taking so much input from the players and are always responding like this

We're always listening and reading. All the comments in this thread are really great insight.

I see pros inspect a ton in esports, but we've always wondered how much non-pros care about unique inspects.

Side question, do you guys plan on doing another ultra edition or whatever it's called bundle like Elderflame?

No plans at the moment for another Ultra. Skins are hard to make, especially Ultras.

That inspect tho .. god damn.

Curious how much you all like the inspect. We usually don't do crazy inspects (prefer to put work into the equip/reload since you see it more often). The idle animations are pretty cool on this skin as well - we haven't done something like it since the Elderflame dragon (when it breathes).

They could be :) The skins aren't designed with lore in mind, but we we work closely with our Premium Content team to strategically look out for opportunities for fun player self-expression and valorant lore to overlap.

I love our Premium Content team. They make AMAZING stuff again and again and again.

Aw, we love you too, Joe. 🥰
