Indulge in an explosion of color and mayhem, VALORANT fans! In typical Riot style, the new Bubblegum Deathwish skin line combines charming pastel tones with a dark twist, making it both adorable and lethal. This bundle is going viral online just in time for Season 2025 Act V, and we’ve got all the details you need for when it drops.

First Look: Design, Animation & Theme

The Bubblegum Deathwish bundle combines a candy-coated look with a nuclear edge, featuring hearts, bunnies, and emoticon effects alongside grungy, poisonous overlays that convey an Arcane-style graffiti vibe.

This skin line features:

  • Phantom
  • Operator
  • Sheriff
  • Stinger
  • Melee (transforms into a mini sword with an animated chainsaw blade)

Each weapon comes in four colorful variations: green and pink, purple, blue, and full green. Each one has its own unique animated inspect feature, such as popping face and hazardous smoke.

The bundle boasts effects inspired by emoticons, themes featuring bunnies, and poisonous finishes that evoke Arcane’s Jinx-like flare, and it is worth mentioning that the melee chainsaw sword has its own specialized animation on inspect.
