Valorant is one of the most popular FPS titles among gamers. The game recently celebrated its second anniversary this month. Over the past two years, developers have always put in a significant amount of work to ensure that the game remains fresh and entertaining for the players. To make the gameplay more attractive, the developers usually introduce a new weapon skin bundle with each update. All these bundles are uniquely designed to make the game more colorful and attractive.
With the introduction of the patch 5.0 update, Riot is ready to maintain its legacy and drop the 'Prelude to Chaos' weapon skin bundle with a dark sci-fi theme. Developers mentioned that the amount of love players have showcased earlier to the Reaver bundle has influenced them to bring in a sci-fi fantasy-themed bundle into the world of Valorant.
The new bundle will have five weapon skins, including one Melee skin as well. The skins will also have three different variants and three levels, along with an attractive finisher. Here is the list of items that will be available in the bundle:
- Blade of Chaos Sword (two-handed melee)
- Prelude to Chaos Vandal
- Prelude to Chaos Operator
- Prelude to Chaos Shorty
- Prelude to Chaos Stinger
The new skin bundle will belong to Valorant's Exclusive Edition (XE) tier and cost around 8,700VP. The individual skins will cost around 2,175 VP, with the melee two-handed sword possibly costing 4,350VP. It will be interesting to see the community's response to the new bundle.
