Riot has finally revealed a deadline for fixing this annoying sell-back bug in VALORANT that is literally scamming players out of credits.
Note: You are reading an old article from 2022. So, the information may not be up-to-date.
Basically, the credit sell-back bug appears when a player tries to sell back a weapon that their teammates originally purchased. For example, if you buy someone a Phantom and they later change their mind and decide to sell that back for a Vandal, when they sell it back to switch to a different weapon, the 2900 credits disappear from their buy menu.
This bug has been in the game for a long time now. In an unrated match, it might not be such a big deal. However, in a ranked match, or worse, if it happens in a tournament, it might make someone lose an entire game.
