Valorant Reveals New Champions 2022 Skins On The Way

Riot Games dropped new info for Valorant players today about a new cosmetic as we'll soon be seeing the Champions 2022 skins. Set to be released on August 23rd, for 6265 VP you can snag this new set you see below, which comes with a customized Phantom, a Butterfly Knife, a Gun Buddy, a new Player Card, and a spray. We got the finer details on the two weapons for you below and the different levels they're at as they're set to go live this Tuesday.

The limited edition Valorant Champions 2022 skin embodies what it means to be a Champion through a set of aspirational features designed to reward top-tier play. Whether your team is watching you clutch or you're on broadcast, everyone will know when you're unstoppable. This year's skin includes a custom model change and two new features as part of the Champion's Aura: a visual effect that evolves every 5 kills (maxing out at 25 kills), and a special easter egg on the butterfly knife that triggers if you're top fragging and have at least 25 kills. From August 23 to September 21, 50% of net proceeds from the Champions 2022 Collection will go to participating teams. The Collection is limited edition, which means it won't return to the Rotating Store or Night.Market.
