Do Rioters not get skins free?
No, we spend our own money! :)

I'm a big fan of skins in League of Legends! Glad you guys also carry that determination in VALORANT.
Thank you! This is so nice of you to say. League has set an incredibly high bar for us. Their cosmetics team is incredibly talented!
Is it available once the patch's done or do we have to wait for a specific time?
I don't think we've stated the time yet, but the countdown timer should be accurate.
If you kill someone with that skin, it’s free
The number of times I have died picking up that yellow Prime Vandal...
Are you allowed to say if these will require additional radianite to upgrade?
I can't say anything else til the patch drops. :(
How can one participate in These labs? Also really Nice Work on the skins, the knife Looks really Nice in the teaser
Oh hi! Thank you! :) The knife and the Op are my favorite!
I don't actually know how we find people for these labs. I can ask how we do it. :)
Hey are you able to let us know a rough estimate of how much these will cost?. Thank you and I understand if you cannot!
I can because my boy Joe Lee tweeted it out yesterday: https://twitter.com/SWAGGERNAU7/status/1280891089486921728
It’s nice to see they actually got high elo players opinions on the skins.
Always! Whenever the high elo folks had concerns, we made sure to listen. Some of them were hesitant at first, but we made changes to ensure we satisfied them. Even if it's not their personal style (maybe they like scifi or more clean skins), they at least told us the skins didn't ruin the game for them.
We also ran research labs with real players to test the skins out. We care so much about this kind of stuff, so we wanted to be really thoughtful and deliberate about how far we pushed the skins from a gameplay standpoint. Labs also helps us see cool behaviors, like melee spamming. We all do the same thing when we play, but it was cool to see players do it too, so we amped up the effects on the melee a little more to make it even more satisfying. ;)
Oh I’m jealous! Congrats! I’m still on level 7.
These gun skins actually take quite a long time to get made, and the team was making weapon design changes internally all the way up until the release of our Friends and Family test build shortly before Closed Beta. At the time we made the call to make a lot of these skins, the Phantom was definitely more of a second fiddle niche weapon defined by its silencer and more controllable spray, with the Vandal being the default premiere rifle. The Phantom's since been buffed up to be similar in power levels to the Vandal, but the skin representation calls trail behind that due to development time.
It's definitely not some big brain marketing scheme like the posts below imply... the game's just constantly evolving, and it takes much longer to concept out and then develop an entire skin line than it does to tweak weapon numbers in development. We're not intentionally withholding all the dope Phantom skins we've got locked away, these things just take awhile to make!
Damn. +1 to everything this guy said!
I just wanna say that those animation looks insane, I have never seen any kind of skins doing something like this
VFX on kill, I have seen it around, weapon model bending with a super fluid detailed animation that literally transform the weapon in a dragon that truly feels alive? Never seen something of this level
Like, this is not a draconic weapon, that's literally a dragon, that animation is so damn neat
<3
Ok. I didn't expect that was coming. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat they are aliveee.
This guy is a prophet. He saw it coming 2 weeks ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/hegya5/new_skin_line_convex_added_to_game/fvrpkpj/
The real question is who's the hungry mf who made all the food buddies in the battle pass
That was me and u/oniram177. Yes, we like food.
I had a lot of fun looking around the maps for the other designs. Without spoiling anything, should I keep looking around for anything else? I thought I had some ideas for another slight Easter-egg or hidden lore snippet. :)
It’s never a bad thing to wander around and theorize!
Love that you found this! :)
hmm? that's the link to this thread though :O
Haha oops. Mobile. This is what a comment in the other thread said:
So yeagh, Nvidia overrides it. So you need to set it to application controlled, then change the game to 8x or 16x, but in order for it to take in effect, you need to restart the game. Minimizing, or refreshing game / resolution doesn't work. That is where I was having a big problem.
I didn't, but I actually found a fix. I went to my nvidea panel and changed 3d settings to the opposite of performance.
Yeah I’ve heard with NVIDA settings messing with it. Glad it worked out!
Hi! thanks for replying to this thread. I have tried 1x on anisotropic filtering and it still looks the same.
As for my NVIDIA settings, it is kept at the base settings as I have not touched it.
Link? I can’t find it
Do you have anisotropic filtering set to 1x? Otherwise yes it’s your NVIDIA settings overriding it.
