edit: they could also make a ppsh-41 stinger or something i wouldn’t complain

edit 2: i know the ak isn't a wwii gun lol i just think it could be a cold war theme or something, idk

haha! I genuinely love the "pls do a 2.0" comments the first day a skin drops. <3

Wait a second, I think I played against you in league 2 days back. You were playing Miss fortune against a Yasuo. It was the game where my friend asked if there would be an oni vandal. I’m not looking for a reply but it’s cool to actually play with a riot member.

i wanted to make a joke about that and my name saying "im not a vandal"

Honestly we didnt think of this and I love the idea. I saw someone comment on twitter or youtube that infantry could be a line that progresses throughout different periods of warfare instead of just doing more within ww1 or 2. it gives us a lot of options :)

This is definitely going to end up as the most underrated set for a while, really cool model changes and appropriately priced.. Big props to Riot

this and wasteland - not a huge appeal but for those who love it, they really love it :)

Not sure if this is worth anything to you, since I haven't bought any points, but, Infantry and Wasteland are my two favorite packs... Followed by the Nerf set, in the completely ridiculous department. 😉

wasteland is my favorite set too and im upset that i missed out on when it was in the store!

One thing I dislike about most Valorant skins is that they have too much going on in them, if you know what I mean. Not saying they are bad, I just dislike too much visual clutter and model-chagning skins.

This line tho? It's my shit. I really like the old gun looks, and I really like how they are simple yet cool.

for sure! we're trying to get something for everyone. even someone who wants something a bit more simplistic might not like this because maybe they have no interest in historical era type of content and want something just clean and simple. we want to make sure we dont alienate anyone's interest no matter how niche - granted though things like this that generally have a very specific appeal will be fewer and further between than things that appeal to a broader audience.

i love that folks are upset about that and no one has touched the fact that the reddot sight is technically a digital projection :D

Out of curiosity, is there a reason this skin line and the Wasteland(?) skin line both haven't gotten the full premium skin treatment? Is it just too niche or something?

It feels like there's so much room for really cool and fun animations and sound effects to be done with these sort of clunky metal/woodstock guns - metal pings, sparks popping, super punchy reload animations - but the lack thereof makes it hard to want to use them over something with Glitchpop or Reaver levels of quality, despite the aesthetic of Infantry/Wasteland is by far my favourite in the game rn.

we actually separate out some features like that. things like the guns being handled by the characters based on their materials is actually something that goes into all guns where appropriate, even on level 1. for evolving features, things like muzzleflashes and animations, effects, etc there is a point where things are a bit too niche and we kind of have to intentionally be restricted. we dont want to add features for the sake of just having them there, only when it really feels appropriate (and when a player finds that its actually worth investing in an upgrade)

i love the range of skins in valorant, and the level of detail; from simple reskins to full on remodeled assets !! im gonna be graduating + working in the 3D industry soon and a lot of my classmates think the skins are stellar. especially the ion skins. getting nice smooth curves in a hard surface model can be tough as shit!

this is so nice of you to say! good luck with school!
