VALORANT Exclusive Edition Skins: Full List of Skins in 2023

Everything there is to know about all the exclusive edition skins that have been released in Valorant so far in 2023.

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. And Riot Games has already stated that they don’t ever 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.

The original Glitchpop skin bundle was the first exclusive edition skin set Riot Games ever released, and it instantly became a massive hit among the Valorant community. This rainbow-colored unicorn-themed skin attracted Jinx mains from League of Legends.

From unique VFX effects to the rainbow explosive finisher, this skin line was tailor-made for players who prefer colorful skins. As this was an exclusive edition skin, it had other color variations that can be unlocked via Radianite points.

Glitchpop 2.0 (Can be upgraded using RP)

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 as 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.

• Dark Blue and Light Pink
• Red with Black Highlights
• Gold with Black and Red Highlights

Singularity (Can be upgraded using RP)

• Purple
• Red
• Blue with Purple Highlights
• Blue with Gold Highlights

BlastX (Can be upgraded using RP)

Available for:

• Odin
• Frenzy

• Yellow and Blue
• Purple and Pink

Ruination (Can be upgraded using RP)

Available for:

• Phantom
• Ghost

• Guardian
• Melee

The Ruination skin line was the first direct collaboration between the League of Legends and Valorant teams at Riot Games.

And the Ruination bundle was representing the dark side during the limited-time event.

Color Variants:

• Green
• Purple
• Blue
• Orange

Sentinels of Light (Can be upgraded using RP)

Available for:

• Ares
• Operator

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.

Color Variants:

• Black with Gold Highlights
• Purple
• Light Green and Red
• Blue

SPECTRUM (Can be upgraded using RP)

Available for:

• Classic
• Bulldog
• Guardian
• Phantom
• Waveform Melee

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.

Color Variants:

• White
• Black
• Red
• Purple

Color Variants:

• Red
• Blue

Champions 2021 Bundle

Like other 2.0 Bundles, the RGX 2.0 also feature 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.

Available for:

• Operator
• Shorty

Color Vairants:

• Black and purple
• Green and red
• Silver and green

Champions 2022 Bundle

Available for:

• Phantom
• Butterfly Melee

Riot Games had its second VALORANT Championship tournament starting on August 31, 2022. To maintain its tradition, the developer released the VALORANT Championship 2022 skin bundle in the following patch. Players eagerly waited for its release as it was one of the most beautiful skin bundles in the game.

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 a very well thought behind its development, and fans loved the bundle like its predecessor.

Chronovoid (Can be upgraded using RP)

Available for:

• Phantom
• Vandal
• Sheriff
• Judge
• Terminus A Quo Melee

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.

Color Variants:

• Bronze
• Purple
• Red
• Black

Araxys (Can be upgraded using RP)

Available for:

• Operator
• Vandal
• Bulldog
• Shorty
• Bio Harvester Melee

Araxys bundle features a robotic and futuristic-looking theme. Since its release, the bundle has been pretty popular among the VALORANT community. On top of that, the weapons in this bundle are some of the most used weapons in the game. Hence, many players bought the bundle despite of high price tag.

Color Variants:

• Brass
• Purple
• Black
• Silver

Exclusive Edition Skin Price

The exclusive edition of skin prices can vary depending on its exclusivity and the number of customization options the skin line features. Having said that, a typical exclusive edition skin bundle costs around 2175VP for each individual skin and 8700VP for the whole bundle. Unsurprisingly, 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 edition skins 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 skin lines in 2023.
