Here’s a quick overview of everything you should know.

  • Flex item (new!): A Champion’s trophy-inspired flex, potentially tracking kills needed to climb the leaderboard, a brand‑new addition to the bundle lineup.
  • Bonus items: Spray, player card, and gun buddy round out the collection.

Community Reaction

Some of the community feedback has been mixed. A Redditor from r/ValorantCompetitive put it bluntly:
