That said, one question that I have is... would it at all a possibility that we could see more options to adjust the skin color in the future?

Right now if you have a Reaver Vandal skin, there are currently four color options that we can purchase.

All four of these options will change both the vandal's color & the spray color.

It makes sense that there is only a few variations, as it seems that all of the variations are sort of "custom changed", and they are not just "cut and paste, changing the color alone".

However, I guess I was wondering if it would be a possibility in the future to find a way to more easily create variations of these kinds of skins, so that we could pick other colors?

I'd love to have a Pink Reaver Vandal for example, that looked exactly like the original Purple variation... except the gun being pink & the ...

so many questions! i'll answer the last one: yes, more pink coming!

Hi! Dev team! Those skin haven blown my mind a lot, due to how much effort it take!

  1. I am curious on your process of creating weapon skin. Are you planning to create video of your process of creating weapon? I love development process, and I really want to see your process!
  2. Was bundle created way too long ago? I found it weird that elderflame existed way before beta. Can you tell more about it?
  1. Would love to do this! I bet we would be planning something like this except for the whole remote WFH situation. :(
  2. We start work on skins many months (even years) in advance! It takes a long time to develop and test skins that are complicated.

Any plans to make Valorant World Champion Team skins, sprays, and gun buddies?

Would they be normal skins or upgradable ones with effects/ sounds/ finishers etc?

If you do, it would be a nice touch to have players' signatures writing out like it does on League.

I'd love to eventually do cosmetics tied to esports! I'm a huge fan of what League does with their championship skins. I don't know if we'd do the same thing, but you've got the right idea that we def wanna do SOMETHING.

The sociology dept is awesome! I love psych too (I was a double major) but sociology was so small and tight knit.

Hello! Thanks for all your work on the game. What's your ideal skin theme? I'd love some kind of iridescent/crystal themed skin. Much love :)

Also - shout-out to Preeti for Edison + RU rep! I love your sociology work. I want to follow in your footsteps :')

OMG RUTGERS AND EDISON REPRESENT!

My research at Rutgers with Prof. McLean is ultimately what lead me to Riot, so I owe him and Rutgers SO MUCH.

My ideal skin theme is everything edgy.

I wonder what even made them not do this in the first place

We're actually a pretty small team, so we had to make some hard calls to do some stuff but not other stuff. Imagine if we we'd done melee variants for Elderflame but that meant we didn't make Prime skins at all. :(

Once we have more artists on the team, we'd like to start doing melee variants. I don't know if we'll go back to add them to old sets or focus on the new ones though. It'll depend what players want more at that time. We run lots of surveys to figure out what players want, so it might seem like lots of folks on reddit want something but the wider playerbase is actually wanting something else instead.

I have a question. Outside of being an incredibly reliable, high quality and uber-player-focused team on VALORANT (all opinions are my own)... what are you most proud of this year?

We are so proud that we've helped bring a little bit of joy to players this year.

How do you guys get the inspiration to come up with new themes of skins? Reaver (dark), Ion (Sci-fi), etc?

Anything can give us inspiration! An image, a word, or even a memory. The Winterwunderland skins were inspired by a trip that u/oniram177 took a few years ago.

Will the christmas skin bundle (which is out right now) only be available during christmas time and not be in rotation afterwards?

It will go into the rotating afterwards!

Any chance on making more 'larger' (feeling) maps like Icebox compared to Split (which feels tiny) and also any plans to make a 2-storied map (Bombside B on lower floor, A on upper floor)

Wish we could answer this but that's the Maps team. We'll suggest they do their own AMA for you all!

anything you guys would be willing to share! gunbuddies, sprays, skins, anything just for a little teaser

Does this count? We'll eventually make a buddy for Dan the Penguin, but he isn't in the next battlepass.
