The Lunar New Year is quickly approaching, and it’s going to be celebrated in VALORANT with the arrival of the stunning XERØFANG skin bundle and the Scales of Fortune Event Pass. These new features are giving fans a lot to look forward to in February 2024.
The release of VALORANT Patch 8.01 brought changes to the game’s meta, including significant nerfs to certain agents such as Skye. This has resulted in a decrease in her pick rate. However, the introduction of the new skins and events is keeping the excitement alive. In honor of the Year of the Dragon, players can now access the Scales of Fortune Event Pass and the XERØFANG skin bundle.
What is the Scales of Fortune Event Pass in VALORANT?
Riot Games is commemorating the Lunar New Year with the Scales of Fortune Event Pass, offering players the chance to unlock titles and sprays in VALORANT by earning EXP. The event pass includes rewards such as the “Fortune Booster” Title, “Fortune Paws” Gunbuddy, “Loong Kee” Playercard, “Delightful Stretch” Spray, and 20 Radianite Points. This 6-level event pass works similarly to the Battle Pass and is available in VALORANT from Feb. 7 to 28.
Is the XERØFANG skin bundle one of the best skins in VALORANT?
Riot has unveiled the XERØFANG skin bundle, featuring animated “scales” on the side of the guns that react during firing, reloading, and inspecting animations. The bundle also includes exclusive reload, inspect, shooting, and equip audio, as well as a custom kill banner. With three color variants and a new gun buddy, the XERØFANG bundle adds a fresh look to the game. The Vandal, Ghost, and Melee (CQC-style knife) are part of this skinline, each with various levels to unlock different sounds and finishers. The attractive design of the XERØFANG bundle is aimed at resonating with the core audience, as described by Kerwin Atienza, the senior manager of art direction for VALORANT.
What Is The Cost Of The XERØFANG bundle?
The XERØFANG bundle is priced at 6,355 VP. Players who opt to buy the melee weapon separately will need to pay 4,350 VP. The bundle includes the Vandal and Ghost skins, the melee weapon, a player card, a reactive gun buddy, and a non-animated spray for use in VALORANT.
In addition to the new VALORANT Patch 8.01, which brought about significant meta changes including nerfs to certain agents, the XERØFANG skin bundle and Scales of Fortune Event Pass are sure to keep players engaged and excited for what’s to come in the game’s Lunar New Year celebration.
