With the launch of VALORANT's new season comes the arrival of a new agent and a set of amazing weapons skins inspired by gaming hardware.
New Cosmetics Are Coming to the Game
VALORANT’s new Episode 4 Act 3 is soon going to be released and it features the newest agent Fade, as well as a ton of new skins and cosmetics as part of its revamped battle pass.

What’s the Skin’s Inspiration and Lore?
The RGX 11z Pro skins are inspired by high-end gaming hardware, alluding to a player’s first time playing on a proper gaming machine. Art Lead Kerwin Atienza wrote that the goal of the project was to help “unleash that gamer within and for them to express themselves through this skinline.”
“We wanted to capture that same feeling the first time they got their hands to play in that glorious power-packed custom PC rig with the latest video card and gaming peripherals,” added Atienza. “That same feeling of prestige and bragging rights knowing you have the best in class right at your fingertips.”
Atienza wanted every part of the skins to allude to the gaming experience. “From the shuffling LED lights that you can customize to the unique moving mechanisms that you see through from the transparent case, […] everything was designed to offer the players that ultimate gamer experience and vibe.”
The new skin bundle is coming to VALORANT along with the game’s new agent Fade and new battle pass on April 27. You can see further details and pictures of the skins here.
