The Valorant community is certainly in for a treat as a brand new weapon bundle is on its way to Riot Games' 5v5 FPS title. As leaked earlier, the Araxys collection will accompany the launch of the popular game's Episode 6 Act 1. The upcoming skin line is set to feature a wide array of weapons and will be an Exclusive Edition.
Glimpses of the Araxys bundle were shared by well-known Valorant leakers on social media shortly after the premiere of the Episode 6 Revelation cinematic trailer that showcased the invasion of Omega's City of Flowers by Alpha Agents. The leaks covered the guns and some of their variants that'll be on offer.
This article details when Indian Valorant players will get their hands on the ominous-looking Araxys bundle in-game, along with other relevant details.
