I mean, for me the coolest part by far is the mesmerizing ADS color shifting. Like, most of the time in game I don't actually "look" at the skins, but the ADS is something I get a good eyefull of since it's right there around the crosshair. For me, that puts Nebula on a tier above the competition. The only thing you see more during gameplay is custom reloads since you aren't exactly shooting while those happen.

I only hip fire, so for me I get the most fun out of inspecting and equipping pre-round. I'm glad you like the ADS, though because we try to make the ADS interesting without it being too distracting or busy.

Man seasickness is such a shame. I've got multiple friends who haven't played portal purely because of it, makes me sad just thinking about it.

Fortunately Nebula's still pretty cool looking (at least for me) so I guess it's fine.

Portal is the only game that ever made me nauseated! I couldn't play beyond the first 20 mins because of it. :(

I was fine with the Nebula skins, but lots of other people reported motion sickness so the team did a ton of tweaking to get it right. It was a challenge to keep some movement but not also cause motion sickness. We hit some points where the sickness was solved, but the effect was barely visible. And then when we turned it up, it made people sick again. It took several months of tweaking, but we finally hit a good spot with it.

It’s a bug. We have a fix that should be going out in the patch this week. Sorry about that. The Variants weren’t affected, just Levels 2-4.

Not at the moment. We want to run this test first, then see if players really want melee variants (reddit isn't always a representative sample :D), and then we'll decide if/when we can support making them. And THEN we'll see which skins we can make it for and if we ever go back and add them to older melees or not.

If you want the non-developer answer, I'll tell you that too many people on the VALORANT team have been begging for these. u/pwyff keeps yelling at us in all caps with TEAL AXE. :(

We updated this post to include a question about melee variants, too!

I know, sorry. :( Still trying to debug how we integrate this fix; it's got some weird issue that the team has been looking at every day. Worst case it'll be fixed with the next patch.

The prime classic I own is still bugged. What’s weird is that I picked up a prime classic in game but it was one of the color variants and that sfx was working

Only levels 2-4 were affected. We're still working on it, sorry! :(

Sorry to bother you again. Can you confirm whether this has been fixed?

No bother at all!

Not yet. :( We are still working on it. We thought we would have it fixed and patched in with Omen, but we didn’t. :(

Will chromas for the luxe skins be re released? I would love to get a gold luxe Vandal as they were in beta <3

No plans right now. :( They were just beta prototypes and weren't intended to ship (except for the Blue, which we did release).

Can you do something so that I can buy it instantly? I've been waiting for a month and still no luck with the shop. As new skins release it'll only get more rare to get the same weapon again. Maybe have a buy anything sale for special occasions?

Keep checking! I was waiting for the Galleria Phantom forever and finally got it. When I did, I was hyped!

Right now we don't have plans to bring back old skin sets (other than the rotating shop), but it's something we're potentially considering.

Thank you very much for that comprehensive answer it gave me a lot of insight :D

I really love the prime collection it looks very clean and minimalistic (if thats the right word for it) but at the same time has all you could want from a gun the colour scheme is on point and also the accents give it a pristine feeling I'm still waiting for the vandal to pop up in my daily's though ;-;

The effect on the orbs could be compared to the one on thee Galaxy can it? On the galaxy I find it indeed a bit distracting when moving for example I guess used as something like on the orbs of spline is really a good choice

Anyway I wish you and your team good luck and keep it up you're doing a great job guys! :D

No problem! Glad you liked the explanation. :)

Aw, I love that you love the Prime Vandal. Hope you can get it soon. The teal Variant is my favorite.

The orb effect is more like the swirls you see on the Sovereign gems in how it looks, it has some swirls that move subtly. The Nebula (Galaxy) skin is something completely different.
