Valorant developers disable Level 5 and variants purchase of new RGX 11Z Pro skin bundle

Valorant recently dropped the new RGX 11Z Pro skin bundle with the 3.07 patch notes, but many players reported a bug causing FPS drops. This led to the new skin line being dubbed the "pay-to-lose" bundle.

After a severe backlash from the community, Riot developers disabled Level 5 and its variants for a "full fix." Players are experiencing major FPS drops while equipping the bundle.

RGX 11Z Pro skin bundle has four variants for the following guns:

• RGX Stinger
• RGX Guardian
• RGX Vandal
• RGX Frenzy

There is also one Katana melee skin with two variants. The skin can be further upgraded to five levels using Radiantite Points (RP). It is set in the Premium Edition (PE) Tier, which costs 8,700 Valorant Points.

However, many players were not satisfied with the gunplay performance after equipping RGX 11Z Pro skin, causing a severe FPS drop. Valorant pros like Shahzeb “Shahzam” Khan and Tarik “tarik” Celik also reported the same issue.

Valorant developers are fixing the bug

After an unsatisfactory experience with the new RGX 11Z Pro skin bundle, the Valorant community reported multiple complaints. A Reddit user, u/Avex_OW, posted a clip showing a massive drop in the frame rate while using the new skin line.

To this, Preeti Khanolkar, the premium content senior producer at Valorant, responded to the post saying,

“Hi! We're aware of this report. We've been looking into this since Wednesday night Pacific Time. Yes, we tested this for performance before it shipped, but we missed this. Sorry about that - I hope you trust that we'll try to fix it.”

Later, on Valorant's official Twitter, developers notified the community that "reports of performance issues" with RGX 11Z Pro skins have been taken under consideration and they are investigating the issue.

After a few hours, Riot Games updated the community stating that they are disabling purchases of Level 5 and variants for the guns in the RGX 11Z Pro skin bundle.

Valorant players can still buy the skin line from the store but can't upgrade it to the last level or get other variants until the bug is fixed.
