Valorant's one-man surveillance network Cypher is terrible with the weapons, according to the official cinematics. We may have an explanation why Cypher keeps dying in Valorant.

The official Valorant cinematics that often add to the lore are fast-paced and captivating. While players are too busy focusing on the storyline and action, they sometimes miss small details like Cypher dying every single time. Most Valorant videos that include shooting have Cypher die first. Is he just bad in the battlefield?

Since the game's release in 2020, Riot Games has rolled out dozens of videos. We may have an explanation why Cypher keeps dying first.

Cypher keeps dying first in Valorant cinematics: Meme or mystery?

Cypher dying in all videos is likely just a meme among the developers. But, his basic Spy-style kit could be the reason behind him being the first blood. The agent doesn't have anything flashy to add to the montages, which may be why he dies first.

Cypher constantly slipping into the line of fire may have been a coincidence at first, but it clearly became a meme in later acts. In the recent Warm Up cinematic, Cypher surprisingly eliminates the invincible bot. But the robot actually never dies.

The last clip shows Killjoy's creation shooting Cypher, confirming that he can never dodge a bullet in Valorant cinematics. The "Without a Trace" spray also has his body chalked on the floor, another nod at the underrated meme.

But it may not just be a meme. Cypher's primary duty is watching flank, which can often land him in risky spots. The agent is often left behind to watch the backlines, even in ranked plays. His role forces him in one-versus-one duels that can be tough to tackle. So, it makes sense why Riot continues to portray him as the weakest shooter. Gunning isn't exactly his forte, as he essentially fuels duelists to do their job comfortably.

Another apparent reason is his non-flashy kit. The Morrocan Spy isn't built to impress and show off like Yoru and Neon. His simple kit is pretty straight-to-the-point that assists in keeping tabs on the enemy's every move. But it sure is hilarious that he continues to be the first death in almost all Valorant cinematics.

How many times has Cypher died in Valorant cinematics?

In Valorant weapon updates, agent showcase, and lore cinematics, Cypher has died around 30 times. This is definitely more than any other agent on the roster.

Valorant fans confused by Sentinels Pokimane roster update

2022-07-17 16:15:00 |  0

The Valorant community initially speculated that Sentinels was just trolling when the North American squad announced that FPS legend and popular streamer Michael "shroud" Grzesiek was joining the roster. Sentinels now has decided to make a joke of the situation with some other surprising roster updates. shroud is a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro who is lauded for his skills. Every shooter he plays on stream is just another game in which he is able to demonstrate his astounding mechanical abilities. But shroud previously said he didn't want to play with Valorant pros due to his feeling rusty in comparison to the younger players that spend 10 hours practicing each day. For this reason, fans thought Sentinels was trolling when they announced the popular streamer was joining its pro Valorant roster. Sentinels had to share a video to prove that the hype was real: shroud was returning to esports and competing in professional Valorant. Playing off of this streamer-turned-pro joke that gained them so much attention, Sentinels decided to suggest that Imane "Pokimane" Anys was potentially joining the team on July 15. In a satirical tweet, Sentinels stated that they had a "roster update," which was that Pokimane was not going to become a Valorant analyst for the team after all. https://twitter.com/Sentinels/status/1548065821812875272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1548065821812875272%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2FSentinels2Fstatus2F1548065821812875272widget%3DTweet Was Pokimane going to be an analyst for Sentinels? No. Pokimane becoming a professional analyst for a professional Valorant team was just a joke from the Sentinels. Still, the Valorant community decided to weigh in on the roster update with an abundance of relief. Many joked that Pokimane is the "best analyst in NA," while others said she would bring nothing to the team. One fan even said that Sentinels "dodged a bullet." Pokimane's skills at Valorant have long been questioned by the gaming community. Despite her reaching Immortal rank, gamers have accused Pokimane of being "boosted." Pokimane herself stated that the climb to Immortal was actually more difficult due to the sexism she dealt with if she ever communicated with her team. Sexism in Valorant has been a topic of discussion since the game initially dropped. There have been many instances of toxicity towards women from popular streamers and casual players alike. The joke from Sentinels rubbed some the wrong way since it continued the narrative that Pokimane is not good at Riot's tactical shooter, while others saw it as harmless fun.

OpTic sweep XSET at VCT Masters Copenhagen

2022-07-16 21:34:00 |  0

OpTic Gaming flipped the script from the Challengers Two finals by sweeping XSET today to force them into the lower bracket at VCT Masters Copenhagen.  In XSET's first international VALORANT LAN matchup, they were tasked with a rematch between themselves and OpTic. The last time these two faced off, XSET walked away with the win that earned them the first seed for North America at Copenhagen. But this time around, one team would be put on the brink of elimination while the other got one step closer to bringing home another international trophy for NA.  XSET chose Haven as the opening map of the series but they failed to show off their knowledge of the map during the first half and were quickly overrun by OpTic. OpTic took a 10-2 lead, which started to slip from there during the second half as XSET began mounting a comeback. That comeback was short-lived, though. OpTic were finally able to get their footing and finish it 13-7. Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker reminded XSET just how good he can be with Chamber, walking away with a 1.8 KD and an average combat score of over 250.  https://twitter.com/ValorantEsports/status/1548041889340743684?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1548041889340743684%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdotesports.com%2Fvalorant%2Fnews%2Foptic-sweep-xset-at-vct-masters-copenhagen Next up was OpTic's choice of Bind, which was much closer than Haven but still showed XSET's flaws now that they're competing on LAN. A 8-4 half still had OpTic in control of the series and just a few rounds away from moving forward in the tournament. Regardless of XSET's best efforts to bring things back on the attack, yay proved to be too difficult to deal with. OpTic took Bind 13-6 to move on to the upper bracket final at VCT Masters Copenhagen. Source: https://dotesports.com/valorant/news/optic-sweep-xset-at-vct-masters-copenhagen ...

Cloud9 White defend their throne, beating Shopify Rebellion in NA VCT Game Changers Series II

2022-07-10 23:52:00 |  0

Cloud9 White are champions once again. The finals of the VALORANT Champions Tour Game Changers Series II in North America came down to an anticipated rematch between Cloud9 White and Shopify Rebellion on Saturday. Earlier this week, Shopify became the first team to beat C9 in a Game Changers tournament. Cloud9 White have always been on the throne for the women's VALORANT scene in North America, and though Shopify Rebellion lost tonight, they came closer than any team has before of stealing C9's crown. In the end, C9 finished the match with a score of 3-1 against Shopify Rebellion, winning in four thrilling maps that kept viewers on their toes. Shopify got the first map pick and chose to go to Icebox. C9, who hadn't played Icebox in the tournament, opted to go for a double controller composition, with meL flexing onto Omen while usual controller player katsumi locked in Viper. So far this tournament, C9 have been playing around with no-duelist compositions, instead choosing to put Jazzyk1ns on Chamber and allowing her play aggressively. C9 took the first pistol round despite a slight miss from meL, and easily snowballed into the second round. Once both teams were able to buy full loadouts, rounds started to go back and forth in typical C9/Shopify fashion, but C9 were up at the half with a score of 7-5. KP was a standout for Shopify, not only getting high-value frags, but also utilizing her Snakebites perfectly, demonstrating her expertise on Viper. It was also evident that KP and her team were confident with their strategies on Icebox. Shopify powered through their defensive side after being down on the half to end Icebox with a winning score of 13-7. C9's took the series to Ascent, where they brought out meL's Cypher once again after showing the composition earlier this Game Changers. Shopify went for a composition with three initiators, and neither team chose to incorporate a duelist into their lineup. C9 once again won the first two rounds of the map, and they built on the momentum for six rounds before Shopify managed to get one on the board. Jazzy starred for C9, adopting an aggressive style of playing Sage and top-fragging throughout first half. C9 went into the half up 7-5 once again. https://twitter.com/melanie_mhs/status/1545914194083467264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1545914194083467264%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdotesports.com%2Fvalorant%2Fnews%2Fcloud9-white-defend-their-throne-beating-shopify-rebellion-in-na-vct-game-changers-series-ii Shopify came back on their attack side, and flowerful made the difference with her Tour de Force having major impact. Sonder and Lorri stepped up big in the later rounds, but some incredible shots from katsumi inside an Astra smoke turned the tides completely. C9 eventually took Ascent with a close score of 13-11. https://twitter.com/Cloud9/status/1545921775812448257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1545921775812448257%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdotesports.com%2Fvalorant%2Fnews%2Fcloud9-white-defend-their-throne-beating-shopify-rebellion-in-na-vct-game-changers-series-ii Next, Shopify took C9 to Fracture, a map C9 has been struggling with during this tournament. For the first time in the match, Shopify took the first pistol round. They easily continued this momentum riding off the success of sonder, who went 10-2 on Neon in the first five rounds. C9 took their timeout after the fifth round to try and swing momentum back into their favor, but still ended the half down 9-3. C9's defense, however, was the polar opposite of their attacking side. After taking the pistol round, they stormed back to close the gap between themselves and Shopify to just two rounds, forcing a Shopify timeout with the score at 11-9. The timeout did little for Shopify, however, and C9 were finally able to overcome their weakness on Fracture, completing their comeback by a score of 13-11 to get themselves to match point in the series. The two teams then moved on to Breeze, a map C9 had dominated on against TSM X earlier in the day. In the first half, Shopify proved that they wouldn't gift C9 a similar victory. Despite several close rounds, Shopify stormed to the lead in the first half and opted to play an aggressive defense, using fast rotations to match C9's tempo. Even though Shopify did decide to use a duelist in their composition this time with Lorri on Jett, it was still sonder and flowerful on top of the scoreboard with their kills, and Shopify ended the first half up 8-4. Once again, C9 stared a significant deficit in the face, and once again they showed their champions' mentality. They brought the game to the verge of overtime before Shopify took their timeout at a 12-11 scoreline. On map point, Shopify began with a push into B site, but C9 rotated quickly and once again executed a great retake to send Breeze to extend the map. The overtime was full of big swings, with kills being traded left and right. Bob saved C9 on attack with a double kill to turn the round in their favor after meL was picked off early. They secured the victory on attack, then turned around and defended with aplomb, winning another Game Changers title. C9 put a strong mentality on display throughout the match, being forced to come back multiple times. Coach x0tek said he credits katsumi with being able to turn the team around and keep the players mentally in the moment, even when the team is down by several rounds. "Even being down 3-9 or 4-10, it didn't really feel like it mattered that much," katsumi said to Dot Esports after the win. "All that mattered was winning the next round. Like, all that matters is right now." Though C9 did what was expected of them the whole tournament and regained their title as Game Changers champions, Shopify Rebellion played at an entirely new level. They were always the team closest to unseating the queens of C9 from their throne, and though they fell short once again it is clear that they are a force to be reckoned with. "Our plan is to qualify for Champions and win that shit," Shopify coach robwiz said in a press conference Saturday night. "I have full faith that we will overcome Cloud9. We have so much to be proud of, we're going to get there." The Game Changers teams will now look forward to the first VCT Game Changers LAN event later this year in Berlin, where the best female and non-binary VALORANT teams from across the world will battle on the international stage for the first time.

Shroud returns to pro play, joins Sentinels' Valorant roster

2022-07-09 21:10:00 |  0

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and streaming icon Michael "shroud" Grzesiek is not done with competitive play just yet. The famous Twitch streamer is returning to esports, this time in a Sentinels Valorant jersey.  The 2021 VCT Stage 2 Masters champions have been going through a slump in 2022, barely making it to the VCT NA Last Chance Qualifier. However, it seems like Sentinels have found a solution for their ills. In a surprise announcement, the North American team has revealed shroud as a professional player for its run to the VCT NA LCQ.  shroud had long ago stepped away from competitive play, switching to streaming as his full-time career. But it seems like he still has a competitive itch to scratch. The jaw-dropping announcement has set the Valorant community ablaze as fans wait for more information on shroud joining Sentinels.  Is Shroud returning to pro play in Valorant?  Yes, shroud is legitimately returning to pro play and will be competing at the top level in Valorant. The streamer has confirmed that he's soon starting a boot camp with the Sentinels roster led by Shahzeb "Shahzam" Khan. The streamer further revealed that he'll soon begin practicing with the team to prepare for the LCQ tournament in August.  "I will be in the LCQ. I have a lot of grinding to do and catch myself up. But, hey, I'm not alone," shroud said. https://twitter.com/Sentinels/status/1545475287118331904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1545475287118331904%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2FSentinels2Fstatus2F1545475287118331904widget%3DTweet shroud has previously written off the possibility of a competitive return, so the announcement was a massive surprise for his fans. The streamer had mentioned that competitive gaming can be "too much work." But Sentinels seems to have convinced him. shroud will now don the red jersey to enter competitive Valorant at its highest level. shroud will be stepping into the place of Hunter "SicK" Mims, who's been out of the roster due to mental health issues. ShahZaM Khan will stay on as team leader, which means shroud will join the squad as controller.  Sentinels could surely use an experienced player like shroud to overcome this recent slump. The starting roster has been looking weak as SicK was replaced by Sentinels head coach Shane "Rawkus" Flaherty. The shuffle didn't work well enough as the team still left Stage 2 Challengers early, failing to make it to the playoffs.  shroud has made a name for himself in FPS esports and is often included in the list among the best-known Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players in North America for his great performances. As a member of Cloud9, shroud led his team to victories against some of the world's top CSGO teams and a championship at ESL Pro League Season 4.

CLG Red out of Game Changers in qualifying rounds after shock upset by Team Opulence Black

2022-07-03 19:53:00 |  0

Most fans expected a quiet start to this month's VALORANT Champions Tour Game Changers event, the female counterpart to the VCT. Despite Cloud9 White being the dominant team in Game Changers up to this point, several strong teams were expected to breeze through qualifying rounds this week, including Shopify Rebellion, Dignitas, and CLG Red. After being knocked to the lower bracket, CLG Red has fallen short and will not be moving on to the Game Changers main event. They lost 2-0 in an elimination match to Team Opulence Black, a relatively new team in the female scene that just started competing under the organization in April of this year. This is their first Game Changers event. Many of the female teams in the VALORANT scene have been making roster changes leading up to this month's edition of Game Changers, and CLG Red was one of the teams with the most drastically different structures. CLG's roster coming into this week consisted of rise, itnothan, kellysama, and two new additions: amnesia and ciao. The team has parted ways with players bENITA, bungee, and clawdia so far in 2022, and these transitions have meant that other players have shifted on to new roles. Most notably, rise has stepped up to become the squad's new in-game-leader. https://twitter.com/valesports_na/status/1543314549847166976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1543314549847166976%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdotesports.com%2Fvalorant%2Fnews%2Fclg-red-out-of-game-changers-in-qualifying-rounds-after-shock-upset-by-team-opulence-black CLG and Opulence both came out of the Swiss Open Qualifier with a 3-2 record, barely sneaking into the Closed Qualifier. In the first round of the Closed Qualifier, CLG Red had a close game against Solaire that went into overtime, but ended with CLG Red taking the victory 14-12. Opulence had a rough first match, going down 13-3 to Complexity GX3 and moving to the lower bracket. CLG went on to face Dignitas, and were also knocked down to the lower bracket. The best-of-three elimination match between CLG and Opulence started on Bind, where CLG handily took the first pistol round and snowballed into the round after. CLG wasn't able to convert their bonus round, and Opulence came back to take four rounds in a row. Things continued to go back and forth, and the half ended with Opulence up 7-5. The second half of Bind was a disaster for CLG. They weren't able to take a single round, and so the first map went the way of Opulence with a final score of 13-5. Rise was notably absent from the scoreboard in this first map, with the most first deaths out of all the players in the lobby. Facing elimination, this time CLG converted their bonus round on the next map, Ascent, and started the map up 3-0. Despite this, Opulence was still came back to take a 7-5 lead at the half, and CLG was again not able to capitalize on many opportunities in the second half. With a score of 13-7 on Ascent, CLG Red were officially knocked out of Game Changers. All of the current players on CLG have proven their expertise in competitive VALORANT and are undoubtedly very skilled players, which leaves fans wondering if the new roster just didn't have time to click. Amnesia and ciao only officially joined the team on June 28, two days before the start of Game Changers. Opulence's star player is undoubtedly Lex, who had a +8 and +17 rating on Bind and Ascent respectively in today's match against CLG, and had average combat score across both maps over 300. Team Opulence Black exit the match keeping their hopes of going to the main event alive, and play Team Mystic Venus tomorrow, July 3 at 3pm CDT.

Here's every Vandal skin in Valorant and how much they cost

2022-07-02 17:20:00 |  0

he one-tap headshot Vandal is the top pick of many Valorant players. Vandal skins in Valorant can make your trick shots that much more satisfying.  The Phantom is an excellent choice on smaller maps, especially in the hands of an ace sprayer. However, the kills on Phantom just aren't as satisfying as the Vandal's. The one-taps on some skins are worth every penny as they add something extra to your best highlights. Riot has released over 30 bundles, all belonging to different categories. Players may find it tricky to find the best skin in their loaded inventory, so we have compiled all Vandal skins in Valorant in one place for your convenience.  All exclusive Vandal skins in Valorant  There are a total of five Vandal skins in the "exclusive" family. This is the second-highest tier in Valorant and features some of the most expensive bundles. All limited-edition cosmetics are released into this category with a price between 1,775 and 2,675 Valorant points for each gun skin.  Champions Vandal 2021 The most special Vandal, Champions 2021, is the ultimate holy grail in Valorant for its rarity. Riot commemorated the VCT event that crowned the first-ever Valorant world champions in 2021 by introducing the limited edition bundle featuring a knife and Vandal. It doesn't rotate in the store, making it the rarest Valorant skin so far.  Price: 2675 Valorant points Glitchpop Plastered with fun stickers and cyberpunk art, Glitchpop Vandal is the most popular skin in Valorant. The colorful Vandal paints the sky with unicorn sprays as its kill animation. It comes in three variants, with rattling sound elements and great animations.  Price: 2175 Valorant points. Prelude to Chaos The futuristic mix of Prelude to Chaos includes city lights and revolving disco lights in an attractive color range. The sound elements are also catchy, adding to this rather over-the-top Vandal weapon skin. It comes in green, white, and blue variants with custom VFX and finisher.  Price:  2175 VP.  RGX 11z Pro The RGX 11z Pro wasn't exactly well-received by Valorant fans initially. However, those who took it to the range realized that it brings a new type of sound element. The RGX 11z Pro counts kill with a tiny screen on its geometrical body. The three color variants make it worth the exclusive price tag.  Price: 2175 VP.  Sentinels of Light Sentinels of Light was a product of Valorant's first crossover with Riot's popular MOBA, League of Legends. It was a nod to the Sentinels of Light event in LoL and was released as a competitor to the Ruination bundle, which was representing the darker side. The crystal-bodied Vandal remains a hit among the fans with its variants, custom VFX, and finisher.  Price: 2175 VP.  All premium Valorant Vandal skins  The premium family has nine Vandal skins, and almost all are highly sought-after in Valorant. This tier is perfect for players who appreciate a good sound element but will pass on the more over-the-top animations. Premium skins are usually priced at 1,775 VP.  Ego The bold black and white Vandal won't contribute much to the overall color scheme of your inventory. Still, it's undoubtedly an iconic statement skin—especially the Red variant, which is fierce and intense. The geometrical pattern brings life to the simple Vandal, adding a premium touch to this skin.  Price: 1775 VP. Forsaken The wild Forsaken is a creative amalgam of the Sovereign and Reaver collections. The silver accents on the forest green body are accentuated with a giant crystal in the center. The weapon takes the swirls from Reaver and a royal feel from Sovereign. The Forsaken only comes in two color variants and a dark finish.  Price: 1775 VP.  Gaia's Vengeance Tree branches hugging a salmon crystal of Gaia set this fascinating skin apart from other designs in Valorant. It's traditional, immersive, and theme-heavy. The Gaia's Vengeance broke the monotony of futuristic skin ideas that Riot had exhausted in Valorant. This unique weapon comes with an equally eye-catching finisher that plants a giant tree on the map.  Price: 1775 VP. Neptune Who doesn't like tiny fish swimming inside an aquarium? That's precisely what Riot did with its Neptune collection. The Neptune Vandal is ocean-themed with a calming and colorful aquarium created within the weapon's body. However, players must unlock levels to view this premium feature.  Price: 1775 VP.  Origin The cylindrical Origin skins were dark and dull in color schemes, but the unique animations were a smash. The Origin Vandal has golden discs installed in the center that detach and rotate upon inspection. The dark gun remains a chart-topper for its catchy sound effect.  Price: 1775 VP. Prime The Prime Vandal is Valorant's most successful rifle skin so far. The sleek, gold, and silver gun has a faint electrical noise animation upon shooting, making one-taps more enjoyable. It has a lightweight feel, something that many players look for in their Valorant skins.  Price: 1775 VP.  Tethered Realms The glassy body of this Vandal encloses a scenic view of ruined buildings that changes with the environment. It isn't exactly the most popular Vandal skin, but it has its own fans. Tethered Realms has no special effects or animations.  Price: 1775 VP.  Reaver A few Vandal skins in Valorant are must-haves, and Reaver is definitely on that list. A heavy rifle sound element and an attractive skin design have helped it become one of the most sought-after skins in Valorant. It comes in three variants, and the white one might be the best of all.  Price: 1775 VP. VALORANT Go! Vol. 2 Valorant GO! Vol. 2 is one of the minimal and less flashy skins. Despite this, players quickly cop this skin from the store as it features agent art. The Phoenix-themed Vandal doesn't have distracting animations, but it sure looks fierce in the hands of a duelist.  Price: 1775 VP.  All Deluxe Vandal skins  Deluxe skins are plain old guns that have minimal animations and sound effects. They are more affordable for 1,275 VP per skin. Most of the skins in the deluxe tier have translucent exteriors playing a slightly animated scenic view from inside the glass.  Aristocrat Deluxe isn't exactly the fanciest skin tier, but Aristocrat looks regal. The gold and black skin is coated in royal patterns that make it appear like a premium skin from a premium origin. For a cheap Deluxe tag, Aristocrat is a steal for players trying to save money.  Price: 1275 VP.  Avalanche The crystallized body of Vandal would surely make you feel ice-cold. The ice-themed weapon is simple yet appealing. The skin shines in sunlight, showcasing every little cut and edge on the Vandal's sculpting. It has no animation or special effects, but it still sells well.  Price: 1275 VP. Horizon Green skin Horizon features cotton candy skies, perfect for adding color to your inventory without spending the big bucks. Even with no special effects, the Horizon is still a cute skin for a low price. The serene views may help calm nerves during sweaty ranked games.  Price: 1275 VP. Nunca Olvidados Nunca Olvidados was one of the few Deluxe tier skins that sold instantly after its release. Probably because it's lore-heavy, featuring Reyna's cultural roots and a peek into her background. The vibrant bundle also came with a variant that shifts the scene upon movement.  Price: 1275 VP.  Sakura Sakura was the only Deluxe tier bundle to appear in the primary market twice. The cute pink and white Vandal of Sakura is simple and easy on the eyes. It's devoid of heavy sculpts and designs that many may find distracting and unattractive.  Price: 1275 VP. Silvanus The midnight scene of a night on the water enclosed within Silvanus Vandal's body is undoubtedly the selling point of this skin. The tiny huts lit with golden lights are calming and aesthetically pleasing. Silvanus is a cheap skin and comes without any variants.  Price: 1275 VP.  Team Ace Agent-themed skins are numerous in Valorant, but few are quite like Team Ace.

Titanmail Titanmail is a more affordable version of the Reaver and Forsaken designs. The rough texture on this Vandal skin is rare, seldom appearing in the daily market rotation.

Skins in the blue circle class are affordable and often look like it. They're may not be a flex, but they still add a touch of color to your inventory.

Select Vandal skins cost 875 VP, and there are currently four in this tier.  Endeavour This plain white and gold skin is a top pick of minimalists. The Endeavor Vandal is a statement piece that adds value to your inventory without being too flashy. The blue nuts and bolts on the simple build are eye-catching, making Endeavor one of the best select skins.  Price: 875 VP.  Luxe The serene blue Luxe features geometrical patterns that add a little depth to a relatively simple skin. It's a perfect choice for those who refrain from squandering money on virtual items but still want to enjoy some Valorant skins.  Price: 875 VP.  Prism II Prism is often picked by players looking for a minimal skin with a vibrant color range.

It is undoubtedly valuable on its own thanks to its bright color and upbeat aura.  Price: 875 VP.  What's the most expensive Vandal skin in Valorant?  Champions 2021 and Elderflame are the most expensive Vandal skins in Valorant. The ultra-edition Elderflame is a much-desired Vandal skin that rotates in the regular skin market. Accentuated dragon scales and fiery animations are among the many attractive features of this rare skin. The Elderflame Vandal's sound effects and unique feel remain unmatched even after the addition of many similarly complex skins. It costs 2,475 VP for three variants and animations, making it one of the priciest skins in the game.  Other Vandal skins in Valorant These are all the Vandal skins in Valorant that players can acquire from the market.

These skins won't appear in the market and are now stored exclusively in the inventories of those who played the corresponding Battle Pass in Valorant.  .SYS Cavalier Depths DOT EXE Hivemind K/TAC Lycan's Bane Nitro Ruin Schema Source: https://win.gg/news/heres-every-vandal-skin-in-valorant-and-how-much-they-cost%ef%bf%bc/ ...

2022-07-01 06:34:00 |  0

VALORANT Mobile is coming soon, as Riot Games already confirmed. Although details are still being kept under wraps, VALORANT executive producer Anna Donolon said that "we're thrilled to soon offer the same competitive VALORANT experience to even more global players." Given VALORANT's massive popularity and growing esports scene, it's not surprising that Riot has big plans to create a mobile version of the the game. We've already seen popular shooter franchises like Call of Duty and Apex Legends get mobile versions, so expect Riot to follow suit with VALORANT Mobile. If you're a fan of the original PC version of the popular 5v5 tactical first-person shooter game, you may want to check out the latest release date information for VALORANT Mobile below. Is VALORANT Mobile coming in 2022? Recent updates have pointed to possible 2022 release, but Riot has yet to announce an offiicial release date for VALROANT Mobile. However, a beta version of VALORANT Mobile is expected to release very soon. Riot's Anna Donlon alreadyconfirmed that VALORANT Mobile currently under development. The executive producer said that the highly-anticipated mobile game should be ready in the second full year of VALORANT, which would be 2022. According to leaker Shaun Weber, the closed beta of VALORANT Mobile will begin in selected countries in July, and that more details will be revealed soon. https://twitter.com/just4leaks2/status/1540017680434053122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1540017680434053122%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10 The open beta will likely be released by late 2022. During a July 2021 interview with ONE Esports, Riot General Manager Justin Hulog said that the mobile version would be arriving in Southeast Asia first (SEA). "In many ways, it does make sense to potentially go out in Southeast Asia first," Hulog said. "But there are also unique challenges and very high expectations for how a game should perform on mobile. That could mean that we may look at other regions that are less demanding first." "VALORANT Mobile is going to have a really big focus in Southeast Asia just because of the fact that it is a mobile-first region," Hulog added, citing the advantages of a later release. "But whether it comes first is a question that we need to weigh. One of the nice things about not going first is that it gives us time to work out the bugs.

Agent 21 codename leaked in Valorant

2022-06-26 10:54:12 |  0

While Fade is still getting settled in properly among the field of competition in Valorant, it's already time for fans to turn their eyes forward and prepare for a fresh arrival. According to ValorLeaks, the newest Agent's developmental name draws inspiration from Riot's other juggernaut franchise. Valorant Agent 21 codename revealed Riot Games There's a new Valorant Agent on the way and the first details are here. The working name for Agent 21 is reportedly "Mage," a term that is written all over League of Legends. While the two games don't share a universe, there have been some connections between them, including a wild link between Neon and LoL's Zeri, characters that were developed in tandem despite being in different universes. https://twitter.com/ValorLeaks/status/1540466041507221505?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1540466041507221505%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dexerto.com%2Fvalorant%2Fvalorant-agent-21-codename-reportedly-leaked-1856530%2F There's already a fair bit of magic in Valorant, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that there's more of the same on the way. From the ominous cloud provided by an Omen smoke to the raging fires that power Phoenix's kit, another set of supernatural abilities will fit in without problem. It will likely be a while before we know anything solid about the agent other than their codename, but seeing as there hasn't been a new Controller since Astra was added in update 2.04, many in the community are expecting Mage to bring a big update to that section of the roster.
