Do you guys have plans to make more unique inspect animations on knives?

yes!

Looks so clean! I love the skins as time passes by, they just keep getting better and better.

Question: Will the Battlepass ever have a skin with f(x) in the near future?

whats your in game name and #tag

We've thought about it for sure. We would have to find the appropriate way to do it though for skins - for example if it were a literal copy of how CS does it and we had an attachment on your gun, that'd have to be themed appropriately, that could even have issues interacting with animations in somecases like with singularity or elderflame, etc. So we have to think about how or if we'll do it

I won't lie, I keep thinking, "this is the last skin I'm going to buy for a while" and you keep pulling me back in!

All jokes aside, do you think that skin fatigue is real and do you have other plans for premium content that you can tease if you guys decide to stop being as regular with gun bundles if it looks like players are feeling satisfied wit3h their collections?

We definitely are aware of skin fatigue and we try to ensure that we release bundles in such a way that doesnt have players feeling that as much (no bundles with 100% the same skins or similar thematics back to back for example)

No definitive plans for other types of content yet

Hey guys thanks so much for sharing your awesome artistic abilities in the form of the weapon skins, buddies, sprays and player cards! Oni Phantom and Reaver Vandal and Omen's Ghost are some of my favorites. Also whomever thought of making tge new Play Zilla guns shoot actually nerf bullets, you ma'am or sir are a genius. I do have two questions though: 1) Have there been talks about combining skin bundles? For example- Oni Phantom, Sakura Classic, Glitch pop Frenzy etc. Also, would y'all ever consider having community suggested themes for skins?

the blastX bullets were my idea. i was really cautious about it and we had to gameplay test it to make sure there were no bugs but i think it was a fun add!

  1. great idea!
  2. yeah i think so. we've seen league do this in the past where we pitch ideas to the community and have them weigh in, but no plans for us to actually do that on valorant yet.

we have. they take a lot of time and effort even to just consider all the options, variables and ways of executing. what we have now is what we're capable of doing at the moment, and in the future we'll be looking into what else we can do

my favorite of what we've released is honestly wasteland. im generally not into apocalyptic thematics but i feel like this one was just so well executed by the team!

Oh! The one behind the crates next to the Butcher Shop right? Ascent, A Lobby. I love it!

Yep! this was done by one of our data scientists and she was so happy to see us turn it into a spray. the jam i think came out of confusion when the artist heard the name blueberry and thought thats what we wanted them to be eating. it kind of snowballed from there :P

I really like the reaver collection and how it kind of ties into omen's theme. Will there be skin lines in the future that will tie into other agent's themes? Also, will there be the ability to choose a skin profile (weapons, sprays, etc) during agent select?

Wait, we didnt make an octopus themed skin yet so im not sure what omen tie you're talking about.

yes. ive answered this more specifically if you look for "archetypes" in another thread here

1st: Could we get more phantom skins with custom reloading? Most of phantom skins have the base reload with just a little detail that you can barely see like oni or ion.

2st: When will magepunk be availabe? 1 Quarter?

3rd: Please make a Elderflame-like skin line but based on FISHS. It would be so funny.

4th: New agent will, like Killjoy has glitchpop, have a skin line that totally fits him when he's relased?

5th: can u guys give me 11500 vp, i live on brazil and it's so expensive around here. id: cherry#11111

  1. Yes. Singularity was the first. there will be more
  2. What's magepunk?
  3. And the reload is it just slipping from your hands and you trying to catch it. I dig it
  4. We try to find opportunities to have some cohesion with our world, between the characters, skins, etc but obviously we go to a lot further and do more fantastical things with skins so there wont always be tie ins like that

Does Valorant take College interns for non-technical roles? I’ve gone to riot careers website, but it doesn’t have any so just wondering if there’s any back doors possible :)

Riot does have non technical intern roles, things like production, research and maybe some others. I dont think Valorant has any of those roles open atm

We've talked about opportunities to have multiple skins brought into a game, the biggest barrier or issue with this atm is performance and load time. We've definitely discussed if this is worth doing (and how) but no definitive plans right now

First things first! I want to thank all of you for your amazing work the past six months, and prior to launch! I've had a few chances to interact with a few members of the team, and you are all so passionate!

  1. How much of a priority are new forms of Premium Content? (e.g. Animated Player Cards, Music Packs, Stickers, etc.)
  2. Are you considering expanding the Premium Content team going into 2021, or are you confident that the current team will comfortably deliver content at the current pace going forward?
  3. The dev blog regarding the first and only Ultra set (Elderflame) made it clear that Ultra sets take a considerable amount of time and energy to complete, should we temper our anticipation for the next Ultra set?
  4. I have an obsession with cute, pink, and purple-y stuff, and so far Glitchpop and Sakura are the only two sets that satiate that craving. Am I safe in assuming the "Blueberry Spray" teaser in the End of Year blog post is part of a s...

Hello!

  1. New content types have actually been on our mind since february of this year. Its on our mind but at this moment we just dont have the bandwidth to support looking into new content just yet but we're looking to solve that!
  2. slowly but surely yes we'd like to expand the Premium Content team. We've actually added a bunch of folks this year alone. New 3d artists, producers, outsource managers, etc to ramp up to a sustainable pace for our content.
  3. Yeah they do take a lot of time and effort. We're already talking about what the next one will be.
  4. Blueberry was a fun thing for us to make, its actually a graffiti that you can find on Ascent. This was just a fun idea for a one off and is not included with a set, but we are always looking to add more bright, colorful, or cute types of content!

Would it be possible in the future for you to give knives such as the elderflame dagger the same color styles as the weapons? I think it would increase sales

I really appreciate the hard work you've put into making all these designs! They ooze with personality, something many games lack in that aspect.

Two questions (you're free to skip them): 1. Have you ever had to scrap a skin line very late in development? I know you were dangerously close to that scenario with the Elderflame set, but I wonder if it has actually happened yet.

  1. The EGO set is one of my personal favorites as it's a really good incursion into fashion, something I am a huge fan of. Is this a one-time thing only, or can we expect to see more cosmetics based around real life fashion?

Hi there! Thank you so much!
1. yes - we've scrapped a few skinlines specifically that were done for our alpha/beta. As we made more we found that we just got better and better and those early ones just werent up to the bar. We actually also scrapped weapons within a skinline as it came close to ship. G.U.N. actually had a phantom and we cut it because it looked too similar to the spectre, and the spectre was already complete by the time the phantom was starting.

  1. We want to have more like this! We actually set out to establish a brand with Ego - One Tap, in the hopes that we can bring back new skins from the same brand. SImilarly we also did that with Playzilla. haha. we want to have a few more sort of in world or lore brand identities that we can play with for skin bundles
