Here, you’ll find everything there is to know about the Exclusive Edition skins that have been released so far in VALORANT.
VALORANT is a free-to-play tactical shooter developed by the developers of League of Legends. Similar to League, Riot Games has adopted a “freemium” model to monetize the game. As such, VALORANT has no barrier to entry since this is a free-to-play game.
Instead, players can choose to purchase skins, battle passes, and other in-game virtual items to customize their play session. Riot Games has already stated that they never intend to sell powerups in VALORANT as that may affect the game’s competitive integrity.
Among these skins, exclusive edition skins are quite special as they have additional sound and VFX that can be upgraded using in-game currencies. They are only behind the Ultra Edition of skins in VALORANT in terms of status.

Following the massive success of the original Glitchpop skin bundle in VALORANT, Riot Games finally came up with a sequel in 2021. The 2.0 version of this skin line featured the same design language as the original bundle. As such, they only added weapon skins that were missing from the original release, like Vandal and Phantom.
Glitchpop 2.0 features similar-looking VFX effects to its predecessor. Even the finisher is exactly the same. Since many players were complaining that the original line lacked popular weapons like Vandal, Phantom, and Operator, Riot decided to fill in the gaps by adding more Glitchpop skins and making the fanbase happy in the process.
Ruination
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Release Date | July 7, 2021 (patch 3.01) |
| Price | 8700 VP |
| Available Weapons | Phantom, Ghost, Spectre, Guardian, Broken Blade of the Ruined King |
| Upgradable | Yes |

The Ruination skin line was the first direct collaboration between the League of Legends and VALORANT teams at Riot Games. The Sentinels of Light event featured the conflict between the dark and the light side in the League’s extended universe. The Ruination bundle represents the dark side during the limited-time event.
Sentinels of Light

|---|---|
| Release Date | July 20, 2021 (patch 3.02) |

| Available Weapons | Ares, Operator, Sheriff, Vandal, Relic of the Sentinel |
| Upgradable | Yes |
| Color Variants | Base, Pink, Green, Purple |
| Extra Items | Gun Buddy, Spray, Playercard |
The Sentinels of Light skin bundle in VALORANT was the other part of the whole Sentinels of Light event. If the Ruination represents darkness, then the Sentinels of Light are the ally of the light side.
This skin line features finishers and animation that are in stark contrast to the previous skin line. While the Ruination finisher animation sends players to the dark side, the Sentinels of Light’s finisher brings players back from the “Ruined” state. In short, it basically performs an exorcism.
Spectrum

| Release Date | September 8, 2021 (patch 3.05) |
| Price | 10700 VP |
| Available Weapons | Classic, Bulldog, Guardian, Phantom, Waveform |

| Extra Items | X2 Buddies, Playercard, Spray |
With the release of the Spectrum bundle, players were greeted with an amusing skin set made in collaboration with Zedd, a renowned DJ, record producer, and songwriter. Since it is a one-of-a-kind collaboration with a popular figure from pop culture, Riot went the extra mile to ensure they could deliver an amusing skin line.
It suffices to say that the cosmetic team at Riot Games didn’t disappoint. The skin features a musical theme, which is expected from a collaboration with Zedd. Colorfully animated beats can be seen alongside the visible part of the skins. And this transparent waveform melee is just icing on the cake.
Also, the finisher animation has effects that make Zedd’s signature music score drop like rain.
RGX 11Z PRO

Like other 2.0 Bundles, the RGX 2.0 also features those weapon skins that their previous version lacked. The original RGX 2.0 Skins look like the base model of RGX 11Z Pro weapons, with lime green being the primary default color.
There’s also an added butterfly knife with the 2.0 bundle, which is one of the most beautiful knives out there in the game. The variants are the same as the original RGX 11Z Pro Bundle’s variations, which will be orange, red, and dark blue.

Prelude of Chaos is an Exclusive Tier skin bundle. At first glance, the skins look absolutely stunning. For primary color, Riot went with a dark theme. However, the main attraction of these skins is the 3 levels and variants. Moving the skins sideways will reflect different sets of colors.
Chronovoid

To simply describe, the ChronoVoid weapon bundle looks like the Cavelier collection. The color combination is pretty much the same. The difference is that ChronoVoid skins have a bronze build, whereas the Cavelier collection weapons have a wooden build.
However, The weapons in the Cavelier collection look very ordinary compared to the ChronoVoid collection because the ChronoVoid collection does not follow the stock weapon designs. Also, the collection will have 3 extra color variants apart from the original one.
Araxys

The Imperium skin bundle shares familiar features from some of the previous skin lines. For starters, the emerald green combination with a golden touch closely resembles the skin from Serenity’s bundle.
The design, however, makes you think of the skin line as a discount Forsaken bundle. The melee is also nothing special. A similar melee weapon was also featured in the Iridian Thorn bundle.

Just like before, the skin line contained only two skins. However, this time, the bundle brought Phantom into the game instead of Vandal. The Phantom had a golden and red color scheme like its previous ancestor. But, the design was different, and it looked like the weapon was made of precious Ruby and Gold, which looked absolutely stunning to the eye.
A Butterfly melee was also featured with the Champions 2022 bundle. The Butterfly Melee is very similar to the RGX 2.0 Butterfly knife except for its colors. In any case, the Champions 2022 skin bundle had an excellent thought behind its development, and fans loved the bundle like its predecessor.

The melee, on the other hand, looks a lot like the Skeleton Knife from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. However, there’s also a glowing Champions logo on the knife. Nonetheless, the reaction to the recent Champions bundle has mostly been positive.

Having said that, a typical Exclusive Edition skin costs around 2175VP for each individual skin and 8700VP for the whole bundle. On the other hand, special bundles and capsules like Champions, Arcane, and Ignite Capsule differ in price range and cannot be predicted.
However, they are really expensive skins. And if you want to upgrade these skins to their highest level using Radianite points, expect to pay even more.
How to Buy Exclusive Edition Skins
If you want to purchase Exclusive Edition skins in VALORANT then you would have to buy them as a whole bundle as soon as they arrive in the VALORANT’s digital store. Usually, each new bundle stays in the storefront for two weeks. Unfortunately, players can only purchase the full bundle within that time period.
However, there are two ways you can get your hands on past Exclusive Edition skins if you somehow missed your chance when they were available on the storefront. The first way is through the rotating skin shop in VALORANT’s digital store.
In the rotating shop, the game client randomly offers 4 different skins from past bundles. And the store rotates every 24 hours. If you get lucky and see an Exclusive Edition of skin in that lineup, you can get buy that particular skin.
The second way to get previously released Exclusive Edition skin is through the Night Market, which provides random discounts on six randomly selected skins ranging from Select to Ultra edition.
Do Exclusive Edition Skins Go on Sale?
As mentioned earlier, Exclusive Editionskins in VALORANT can go on sale via the Night Market. In short, Night Market provides randomly generated discounts on six randomly selected skins. If the RNG god is in your favor, you might catch Exclusive Edition skins on sale.
Upcoming Exclusive Edition Skins
As of writing, there is no update on any future Exclusive Edition skin in VALORANT. However, Riot tends to release multiple Exclusive Edition skins in a year. There is a good chance they might release more Exclusive Edition lines in 2024.
