Default reload animation? Will that be fixed?

It's not a bug. There are animations on this gun through the spinning turbines and the orb mechanism. We want to try different ways to animate guns since some players want hand animation change (like with Reaver) but others want something that's more based on the gun itself.

There are plenty of animations. The reactors spinning, side panels opening up when you pull the gun out, etc. There's just no reload animation.

The orb pulses on reload. We tried something different with this skin with animations since not everyone wants new hand animations for a skin.

Yeah I was about to say

Aesthetics are cool, sounds are cool...no new anims? byeee

It has animated moving parts on the inside (turbines and the mechanism holding the orb).

No partnerships involved at all with anyone.

Hope you all end up loving the set, especially if you're into sci-fi! This is my favorite set the team has released so far (with the Reaver re-release coming close second).

Wow, thank you so much for replying!! That's reassuring to hear about the salary, would definitely help convince my parents of the career choice haha. I've been looking through the university programs and believe that the game design intern might best fit my field and interests. I look forward to applying and hopefully working with you this upcoming summer :)

Good luck! My parents were surprised about my career choice too, but very supportive. I decided to quit being an attorney to work in games, so it was a big change for me (and them).

Hi there Preeti! I’m currently studying computer science. Would a game design intern fit under that field of study? I’m currently applying to different places because you know, I needa make a living, but I would choose working on games in a heartbeat over any price companies would offer. If there are any positions in which computer science would fit in I would love to apply! :D

Oh we have engineering roles, which I believe Computer Science fits into!

Also you can totally make a living in games too! Riot pays a very competitive salary because we want to hire the best game devs and because cost of living is high out here.

I am loving the reaver collection so much I bought the whole pack. The animation is awesome. My one pain point if I may on the knife animation is no one else can see it. My friends and I both have it and upgraded with radiant. If you look at the knife when the other person is holding it there is no purple mist at all it just looks like the standard version.

Ah, I get that. We do that for competitive integrity. We wouldn’t want an enemy to think you were holding an ability in your hand from far away. We never show any VFX in third person so it’s never pay to win.

Do you have any advice getting an internship at Riot? I am a canadian computer engineer undergrad and would really love to do a summer internship with you guys.

I don't know much about the process, but I remember there being a really great LinkedIn group that had advice. I think it's called "Riot Careers" or something like that.

Hello Preeti! I currently study architecture. I don’t see any architectural internships (I.e maps, structures, space) on the website. I am eager to know if such a thing is possible! Exploring a 3D environment as an architectural space would be awesome as an internship:)

Oh, I don't know. One of our former designers used to be an architect, so maybe that's a potential avenue?

I'm not actually sure, sorry. There's a great LinkedIn group that Riot is involved in (I think it's called Riot Careers). If you post there, you're likely to get a response!

[edit] also for those crusading against corporate america and internships, /u/Riot_Preeti has a good breakdown of our internship benefits (full paid) - https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/jpakh6/im_the_intern_who_made_the_reaver_finisher_and/gbduiy8/

also some additional insight into why internships are valuable: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/jpakh6/im_the_intern_who_made_the_reaver_finisher_and/gbee56n/ - a tl;dr of which would be: it's for high-potential career seekers to sample work at their chosen company while they can't take on full-time jobs until they graduate. It's also why you typically can't get an internship if you're not in college, otherwise yeah you're ba...

Yes!!! Sorry you didn’t have them on your birthday, but glad you got them now. Did you get them all? I just picked up the Vandal so far but I was so tempted for the melee or even the whole bundle. I figured I have a few days to decide.
