While it’s exciting to see a new bundle released, VALORANT fans are feeling disappointed. The latest RGX 11z Pro 3.0 bundle has sparked criticism on Reddit due to its high cost. The issue isn’t necessarily the content of the bundle, as the VALORANT developers continue to add to the impressive collection of RGX skins. Rather, fans are unhappy with the price.

If you wish to purchase the new RGX bundle, it will cost 6700 VALORANT points, which translates to almost $80 (£60).
Riot’s announcement of the bundle a few days ago revealed that it includes just 4 items: RGX skins for the Outlaw, Sheriff, and the new RGX 11z Pro Karambit.
Many fans find the price tag unreasonable for two non-primary weapon skins and a new knife that cannot be traded, especially when comparing the lack of special effects in the RGX skinline to other higher-quality options like the Aemondir skinline. One Reddit user, KasumiGotoTriss, expressed disappointment in Riot’s pricing strategy.

How much for secondary weapons?
The reality is that this skinline comes with a hefty price tag for secondary weapons that players may not use as their primary choice. VALORANT knives have always been priced high, and this trend continues with the RGX 3.0 bundle.
Individuals opting to purchase the Karambit alone will need to spend 4,350 points (or roughly $50 USD), emphasizing why Riot can justify the high bundle price.
The RGX 11z Pro 3.0 bundle will be available starting July 19th, 2024, coinciding with the launch of Episode 9. With expensive skins not hindering Riot’s success in League of Legends, it’s unlikely that we’ll see a price decrease anytime soon!
