Valorant released the Protocol 781-A collection on January 11, 2022. The complete bundle, priced at 9,900VP, includes a melee weapon, Sheriff, Spectre, Bulldog, and Phantom skins.

If purchased individually, the melee weapon is available for 4,950VP, while the gun skins can be obtained for 2,475VP each. Additionally, each skin comes with three additional unlockable variants: white, blue, and green.

This skin line features a new equip animation, an inspect animation complete with voice lines, and upon getting the last kill, a mech is summoned that shoots the victim, then patrols and scans the surrounding area. These special effects contribute significantly to Viper's tactical persona, particularly when using the green variant of the skin.

The Gaia's Vengeance skins exhibit a distinct earthy and organic essence, featuring what seems like branches intricately intertwining with the guns in smooth and flowing patterns. The green variant's thematic elements align perfectly with Viper's persona, evoking the image of a viper lurking in the wilderness, ready to capture its prey.


2) ChronoVoid collection - Black variant

The ChronoVoid collection truly feels like it's from another dimension, featuring a gravity-defying floating sphere at the core of the weapons and finisher effects that seem to whisk your opponent away to another realm entirely. The sleek black variant seamlessly matches Viper's outfit, and the reloading animation provides a satisfying experience, flawlessly synchronized with Viper's hand model.
