Since the release of Valorant in 2020, the game's community has been showered with a wide variety of purchasable weapon skins. While most skins require one to spend their money, some are absolutely free of cost, allowing players from all walks of life to access a variety of attractive in-game cosmetics.
Every weapon in Valorant, despite its intricate structure, has a wide range of skin designs that can captivate users with unique animations, VFX, sound effects, and finishers. In this article, we will explore the plethora of weapon skins released by Riot Games for Bucky as of Episode 5 Act 2.
Every Bucky skin in Valorant as of Episode 5 Act 2
Valorant has different methods through which players can purchase skins. One can complete all 10 tiers of an Agent contract to redeem a pistol skin designed to match it.
Players can head over to the in-game store to purchase items from either the "Featured" section, which contains the latest skin collection, or the "Offers" section that features four random weapon skins.
They can also purchase the Battlepass in each Act to earn access to three different weapon collections, featuring over 10 unique skins. Those who don't purchase the Battlepass can claim a single free skin by earning XP and completing the Battlepass.
Skins that appear in the Featured or Offers section can be purchased using the in-game currency known as Valorant Points (VP). Players will be required to spend real-life credits in order to purchase VP.
Purchasable skins in Valorant are classified into various tiers based on their cost and design. All the skin tiers are as follows:
- Select Edition >>> 875 VP for each skin
- Deluxe Edition >>> 1275 VP for each skin
- Premium Edition >>> 1775 VP for each skin
- Ultra Edition >>> 2475 VP for each skin
- Exclusive Edition >>> Varies ( Above 2475 VP for each skin)
