Now we know why we didn't get a black and red Ion variant...

It is true.

i like the look ALOT, but now im wondering about the sound? i want to hear if its got an "aimbot" sound.

Personally, this may be my favorite for sound so far. The dev team was really into it too.

yall did great work on the bulldog; I tend to like the lazer sound effects because they're just less loud, and these sound so good; the perfect amount of pew and crunch

Thank you! This Vandal and Bulldog are my favorites for firing audio. The first time I heard it, I thought maybe it was too much. Like right on the edge of "damn this is cool but also is it TOO out there?" We did a bunch of design testing on it (like we do with all skins) and got a really good response, so we felt it was in a good spot. Hope you love it once you try it!

Are there other skins the dev teams aren’t really into?

Plenty. We all have our favorites and least favorites.

For me, I'm into Ruination, Reaver, and Champions (both 2021 and 2022). Ion too. And Sentinels of Light and Gaia's, though I don't own either of them.

In terms of high tier skins, I don't really like BlastX, Magepunk, ChronoVoid, Glitchpop, or Oni. I think they're really well-done, but they're not my personal taste. Since we spend on own money on skins, I don't really know for sure if a skin is my kinda thing until it's in the Store and I have to decide if I want to spend my own money on it our not. Before that point, I'm too deep into thinking about who it's for and if that player will love it or not.

With Araxys, I loved it right away when I heard the firing audio. I immediately knew "yup, I'm getting the Vandal at the very least."

I love it. I actually got an extra copy of CoD MW II I’m selling to hopefully pick some of them up, just wanted to say your team has done an amazing job here. I don’t think I’ve been this impressed since maybe Protocol or Glitchpop. Even if I’m unable to afford this one just know that this is probably the coolest in game skins I’ve seen since Prelude, Glitchpop and Protocol.

Just wanted to say as someone who has been playing counter-strike since 1.5 I love the game, love the work you do and even if I’m unable to pick up this bundle it’s a work of art. Somehow took that “Halo” feel and made it even more badass.

Thank you so much for the kind words (I saw your comment in the other thread too, ty!).

I love to hear from former CS players how they're enjoying VAL and VAL's cosmetics. Makes me really happy we released our game!

Respect the honesty haha

You have no idea how much I wanted to respond "you're getting one soon!" every time someone complained about no red/black Ion variant.

Wait, you guys don’t just get all the skins?!

Seeing as your games are F2P I figured Riot would at least chuck you some freebies

No way! I like that we don't get all the skins for free, tbh. Makes us think about what we're making (and who it's for) and play like players.
