Riot Games utilizes its talented team of developers to create some of the most attractive weapon skins for the player base.

Valorant Imperium bundle review and rating
The Imperium skin collection will be added as an Exclusive to the game. Its design structure alone can make it a highly sought-after bundle due to the presence of unique elements. The features on the weapons are expressive and show boldness that can be found in other famous collections like the Reaver set.
The base has a polished look that seems like a piece carefully crafted out of a singular jewel stone. It also features subtle VFX and brings the variants to life with small movements within the weapon itself. The golden ornaments boast a fluid design that pairs perfectly and brings out the majestic look of each weapon.
The bullet sounds and custom firing muzzle animation can provide an immersive experience with the bundle. However, the most significant element of the entire collection is its massive and daunting finisher. The color of the finisher is directly dependent on the variant of the skin, which makes it even more attractive as it does not become monotonous.
The finisher includes a huge dragon appearing in its ethereal form and encasing the enemy player in a stone chamber. This may also be a symbolic reference to the beast’s ability to seal off evil spirits and forever capture their souls. Unfortunately, all the animations do add up to visual clutter and might not appeal to players who prefer minimal distractions.
Final rating: 8/10
In conclusion, the Imperium collection would be a great addition to one’s arsenal. The bundle’s dual-handed melee and largest finisher animation make it worth the wait and the price tag. Follow Sportskeeda's Valorant section for more recent updates.
