Valorant Guardrail skin collection: Price, release date, variants, and more

Valorant's Episode 8 Act 1 is just around the corner. This Act will incorporate a lot of exciting additions like the new Sniper Rifle, Outlaw, along with an Exclusive edition skin collection and another Battlepass. Like every new Act release, Episode 8 Act 1 will include three new skinlines — Fiber Optic, Guardrail, and Tactiplay. Out of these, Guardrail has grabbed headlines due to its minimal design.

Valorant players can get their hands on these bundles by purchasing the Battlepass and leveling it up to Tier 50. This article will provide a detailed look at the Guardrail collection.
