Riot put in a lot of effort to make each of their agents stand out from the others. From speedster Jett to toxic Viper, every one of them has a unique voice line that demonstrates their personality. In the process, it gives every agent more depth in their character.

Additionally, these ultimate voice lines also behave differently depending on whom you are interacting with at the exact moment when you use your ultimate utility. For example, if your allies are close and you are Raze, the voice line warns your teammates of the incoming rockets. In comparison, your opponents will get an entirely different voice line depending on where the ability was activated.

As such, these voice lines become essential sound cues for incoming attacks. Knowing when to take cover in the case of incoming damage dealing ultimate ability can be the difference between winning or losing a round.

Players of all skill buckets need to remember each of these voice lines in their heads to win rounds.

Riot Games, the developers behind the popular Moba game League of Legends, and plenty of other notable free-to-play titles entered the competitive tactical shooter market with VALORANT. VALORANT was their foray into the world of FPS games, as none of their prior games had first-person shooter elements in them.

Similar to every other game developed by Riot, this one also uses the tried and tested “freemium” model for monetization. As such, this tactical hero shooter has no barrier to entry. Although players can spend real-world money to purchase different types of cosmetic items to customize their play sessions.

This list of the best player cards was updated in Episode 8 Act 1 of VALORANT

What is a Player Card in VALORANT ?

Player cards are one of these cosmetic items that players can show off on the main menu while they are waiting for a match to start. Also, after the game client finds a map, the game temporarily reveals the player cards of all the players as banners. Consequently, rare player cards are really sought after by the VALORANT community.

How to Get Player Cards in VALORANT

Riot usually bundles unique player cards based on a certain theme with most of the premium, exclusive, and ultra-edition weapon skins. Even new Acts feature a ton of new player cards for players to choose from, provided they purchase the battle pass.

While some unique player cards are behind a paywall in VALORANT, some cooler ones can still be collected without spending a dime. For example, if players complete Agent gear and reach Tier 2/3 and 9, they are eligible to get two Agent-specific player cards.

As for the weapon skin bundle and previous battle pass-specific player cards, unfortunately, they might not be available in the future since they were a limited-time reward for that particular time frame. Suffice it to say that you should get unique player cards that you like as soon as they are available in the digital store before they disappear forever.

Aside from these, Riot tends to gift the community with unique-looking free player cards on different occasions.

10 Best Player Cards in VALORANT

Here, we’ll reveal some of the best-looking player cards in the game. We took rarity, unique colorway, and their significance to the overall lore of VALORANT into consideration while choosing the top ten cards. Also, as with any other top-ten list, this one is extremely subjective. Moreover, we’ll list the cards in descending order.

10. Elderflame

The Elderflame player card came with the Elderflame skin bundle, the first Ultra edition skin line in the game. Keeping up with the overall theme of that bundle, it features a brave knight in shining armor facing off against a dragon.

9. Epilogue Skin Bait

The Epilogue Skin Bait player card was a reward for the Episode 3 Act 2 Battle Pass. And it is also another meme-focused player card that literally shows a player using a Prime Vandal skin to lure out any unsuspecting victims. In this case, it happens to be a greedy Jett.

8. Unstoppable Phoenix

The Unstoppable Phoenix player card was added with the Episode 4 Act 3 battle pass. As a Phoenix main and OG VALORANT player, this player card will incite your competitive fire and empower you to draw first blood.

7. Joke’s Over

Episode 5 Act 2’s Battle Pass introduced the ‘Joke’s Over’ player card. This card features an iconic VALORANT scene. Phoenix just came back to his body, completing his ultimate, just to find out Chamber and Yoru were waiting for him. Well, you know!! ”Joke’s Really Over.”

6. Spike Showdown

The Spike Showdown player card was introduced to VALORANT in Episode 5 Act 2 Battle Pass. This player card is inspired by the famous “Spiderman pointing at Spiderman” meme. Since the release of the Spite Showdown, it has been a popular player card among the player base.

5. Pixel Moments

The Pixel Moment player card was introduced to VALORANT in the Episode 6 Act 2 Battle Pass. The player card features a ”usual” VALORANT scenario on Bind. We can see Jett updrafting with Blade Storm, Brimstone with his molly, Neon running super fast, Phoenix using his mollys, and, among all these, Killjoy planting the spike. All of these are in a creative pixel art style.

4. Doodle Buds // Agents

The Doodle Buds // Agents player card was introduced to VALORANT in the Doodle Buds Skin Bundle. In this player card, Riot Games featured every released Agent at that time. So, if you don’t want to leave any Agent behind and show your appreciation to every one of them, this player card is perfect for you.

3. Arcane Jinx

Arcane Jinx was released as a Prime Gaming Drops Reward. Arcane is a popular Netflix show that took over the internet upon its release. Jinx, one of the series’ main characters, became a fan favorite to many.

2. Enter the Duelists

Enter the Duelists player card was added to the game with the Episode 5 Act 1 Battle Pass. Duelists are the flashiest characters in the game, and everyone loves duelists. And this card has them all in one frame. How cool is that?

1. Champions LA 2023 

The Champions LA 2023  player card was a part of the VALORANT Champions 2023 bundle. This player card reminds players of the best moments of that tournament. Apart from that, the card also looks gorgeous due to its golden and black color combination.

Respawn has had a good record of releasing skins for popular legends, and Bloodhound is no exception. It has a large collection of skins to choose from, and Respawn is careful to include only the most attractive skins for all players.

Unlike many other legends, Respawn might’ve given too much notice to Bloodhound. As a result, Bloodhound has a pretty good skin collection. Yet, some are definitely better than others. Here are 10 favorite Bloodhound skins in the game.

10. Whistling Winter

Celebrate the winter and the snow by giving your opponents a death stare. The customized helmet is equal parts festive and creepy. The elf outfit really brings out the joyful atmosphere of the deathmatch of the outlands.

9. Frost Haven

We continue in the festive mood with a similarly themed skin. While not fully Christmas-spirited, the Frost Haven does indicate you are rising from a deep slumber with a bone to pick. The cyan-blue color palette looks amazing on your outfit with this skin.

8. Tagged Tracker

You already know we enjoy ourselves with a pink/purple color theme. The Tagged Tracker is a pumped-up Bloodhound skin that uses tech and looks hip while doing it. Pretty rad, don’t you think?

7. Sundown Desperado 

A unique skin in our outfit. Similarities can be found with Ghost Rider with your designer greaves and unique mask. Overall, the fiery decals are just a cool touch to this wonderful badass skin.

6. Young Blood

This skin is one for lore lovers. It portrays a young Bloodhound finding his own way. Based on the character lore of Bloodhound, this skin has significant meaning in the Apex storyline, which was hinted at in the Old Ways event cinematic trailer.

5. Bone Chill

The Bone Chill maintains its namesake with an excellent aesthetic of a frozen demon hunting you down. If it wasn’t obvious from the customized carcass mask on the knees and the helmet, it would be when you are hunted down in the outlands by this frozen menace.

3. Feral’s Future

The scaled armor and buffed gauntlets make it very menacing and Bloodhound looks like a proper hunter. The hooves for your boots make him look more like a predator than a human hunter.

2. Protector of the Patch

Halloween is special in Apex Legends, with a great mix of scary and goofy costumes. This bloodhound skin is no exception. Acting like a scarecrow, your opponents will flee from you when they see the pumpkin head hunting down any trespassers.

1. The Centurion

The Centurion skin was released alongside the now-infamous Iron Crown collection event that also came with Bloodhound’s heirloom. Bloodhound is brought back to the medieval age with black and gold armor places and a helmet any conquistador will adore. Your belt also houses gadgets and equipment that will lead to your prey in no time.

Mythic Tier – Apex Hunter

Bloodhound’s Prestige edition skin is based upon the Pilot uniform from the original Titanfall games, and it will be called “Apex Hunter.” As this is a Mythic tier skin tailor-made for Bloodhound, the dev team at Respawn made the right call with the design aesthetic.

The Pilot Bloodhound skin has three tiers. The starting one will look awfully similar to any other basic-looking legendary skin. However, with the next phase, Bloodhound receives more armor, gears, and goggles.

And lastly, the last tier turns Bloodhound into a full-fledged pilot with a uniquely red-colored suit, making them look like a real Titanfall pilot.

Bangalore was one of the 8 characters who were launched alongside Apex Legends in 2019. So, she has quite a few unique skins in the game. From the four basic legendary skins to their vibrant recolors, Respawn has released so many different kinds of Bangalore skins that most players should be able to find at least one skin that they find fancy. As there are a lot of options to choose from, in this article, we’ll list the top 10 skins that we think are the best for Bangalore.

Note: We updated the article on April 28, 2024.

1. Cybernautic Soldier

At the top of our list, we have a skin that resembles a mixture of Tron and Crysis. The neon accents on her augmented legs and arms look like skin bred for war. When you see her, you will realize she was made to break you.

2. Soul Keeper

An intimidating skin for our favorite soldier. Adorn yourself in black and gold with a skin that will strike fear into your opponents. We love the addition of purple royalty with black armor. Just brings out the evil within.

3. Killing Machine

Respawn gave Bangalore players a massive win by releasing this Cyborg-inspired cyberpunk skin aptly named “Killing Machine” in the System Override collection event. This is by far one of her more cerebral-looking skin inspired by cyberpunk.

4. Crimson Queen

The Crimson Queen is an alternative to the Outland Warrior, one of the first few added legendary skins. The Crimson Queen is adorned with ornaments, a dark color scheme, and war paints. We love the badass look of this skin. Bangalore going back to her primal instincts.

5. Cosmic Enforcer

Suit up in blue and gold with this superhero theme. The full-body suit might tick some people off, but it adds to the theme of authority establishing justice in the outlands. Don’t break the law, or you will see the wrong side of her barrel.

6. La Catrina

La Catrina dropped alongside the Fight or Fright event. As this was a Halloween-themed event, Respawn went all in and made a day of the dead-inspired skin dedicated to Bangalore. Unsurprisingly, the spooky nature of the skin was a hit among the player base.

7. Divine Legion

The green palette fits our warrior rifler. This small touch of divinity is not the only reason we enjoy this skin. The robe with green accents is an amazing touch, and the rings as gauntlets are another favorite of ours.

8. Radical Action

Radical Action is one of the coolest Bangalore skins in the game. Her outfit is a camouflage pattern with a very cool pair of sunglasses. The entire vibe is of a hardened soldier on a mission, taking out her foes from between the trees.

9. Sky Marshall

A champion on the ground and even in the skies. This Bangalore skin is adorned with professional-grade gear, befitting of a pilot. The leather strapped skin is perfect for the sharpshooter Bangalore.

10. Frozen Loyalty

Frozen Loyalty is one of the latest additions to Bangalore’s skin collection. The skin is undoubtedly inspired by the Night King from Game of Thrones. Despite the reference, the skin stands on its own due to its unique look and colorway.

Mythic Tier – Apex Commander [Bonus]

Bangalore’s Prestige edition skin is based upon the Pilot uniform from the original Titanfall games and it will be called “Apex Commander”. As this is a Mythic tier skin tailor-made for Bangalore, the dev team at Respawn made the right call with the design aesthetic.

The Pilot Bangalore skin has three tiers. The starting one will look awfully similar to any other basic-looking legendary skin. However, with the next phase, Bangalore receives a facemask that adds another layer to the skin.

And lastly, the last tier turns Bangalore into a full-fledged pilot with a unique-looking helmet covering her face.

VALORANT is a free-to-play tactical shooter developed by the developers of League of Legends. Similar to League, Riot Games has adopted a “freemium” model to monetize the game. As such, VALORANT has no barrier to entry since this is a free-to-play game.

Instead, players can choose to purchase skins, battle passes, and other in-game virtual items to customize their play session. Riot Games has already stated that they never intend to sell powerups in VALORANT as that may affect the game’s competitive integrity.

Among these skins, exclusive edition skins are quite special as they have additional sound and VFX that can be upgraded using in-game currencies. They are only behind the Ultra Edition of skins in VALORANT in terms of status.

How Many Tiers of Skins Available in VALORANT?

In total, there are five different tiers of skins in VALORANT. These are: “Select Edition,” “Deluxe Edition,” “Premium Edition,” “Ultra Edition,” and “Exclusive Edition.” Among these skins, Exclusive Edition skins stand out because their price can change based on how they look and how few of them there are.

How Many Exclusive Edition Skins are There in VALORANT?

As of this writing, Riot Games has released 15 Exclusive Edition skin bundles. Apart from these bundles, the developers also occasionally release some Exclusive rarity items, like the Champions bundle and Ignite Capsule.

All the Exclusive Edition Skins

This section will only include the Exclusive Edition bundles that Riot Games regularly releases. These packs typically include four weapon skins and a melee weapon. In addition to the weapon skins, these bundles include Playercards, Gun Buddies, and Sprays. Here are all of the Exclusive Edition skin bundles that are currently available in VALORANT, arranged from oldest to newest.

Glitchpop

The original Glitchpop skin bundle was the first Exclusive Edition skin set Riot Games ever released, and it instantly became a massive hit among the VALORANT community. This rainbow-colored unicorn-themed skin attracted Jinx mains from League of Legends.

From unique VFX effects to the rainbow explosive finisher, this skin line was tailor-made for players who prefer colorful skins. As this was an Exclusive Edition skin, it had other color variations that could be unlocked via Radianite points.

Singularity

The Singularity skin bundle in VALORANT was another masterstroke from the cosmetic team at Riot Games. They made a unique-looking skin-themed after the black hole. It features really distinct VFX and audio cues. Also, the weapon-equipped animation looks really cool in this skin line.

BlastX

BlastX was a holiday-inspired nerf gun-themed skin bundle that instantly inflicted nostalgia among the VALORANT player base. From its unique gift-wrapper finisher to weapon tracers that literally leave darts in the game world, Riot’s cosmetic department made an extra effort to make this skin line come alive.

Glitchpop 2.0

Following the massive success of the original Glitchpop skin bundle in VALORANT, Riot Games finally came up with a sequel in 2021. The 2.0 version of this skin line featured the same design language as the original bundle. As such, they only added weapon skins that were missing from the original release, like Vandal and Phantom.

Glitchpop 2.0 features similar-looking VFX effects to its predecessor. Even the finisher is exactly the same. Since many players were complaining that the original line lacked popular weapons like Vandal, Phantom, and Operator, Riot decided to fill in the gaps by adding more Glitchpop skins and making the fanbase happy in the process.

Ruination

The Ruination skin line was the first direct collaboration between the League of Legends and VALORANT teams at Riot Games. The Sentinels of Light event featured the conflict between the dark and the light side in the League’s extended universe. The Ruination bundle represents the dark side during the limited-time event.

Sentinels of Light

The Sentinels of Light skin bundle in VALORANT was the other part of the whole Sentinels of Light event. If the Ruination represents darkness, then the Sentinels of Light are the ally of the light side.

This skin line features finishers and animation that are in stark contrast to the previous skin line. While the Ruination finisher animation sends players to the dark side, the Sentinels of Light’s finisher brings players back from the “Ruined” state. In short, it basically performs an exorcism.

Spectrum

With the release of the Spectrum bundle, players were greeted with an amusing skin set made in collaboration with Zedd, a renowned DJ, record producer, and songwriter. Since it is a one-of-a-kind collaboration with a popular figure from pop culture, Riot went the extra mile to ensure they could deliver an amusing skin line.

It suffices to say that the cosmetic team at Riot Games didn’t disappoint. The skin features a musical theme, which is expected from a collaboration with Zedd. Colorfully animated beats can be seen alongside the visible part of the skins. And this transparent waveform melee is just icing on the cake.

Also, the finisher animation has effects that make Zedd’s signature music score drop like rain.

RGX 11Z PRO

RGX 11Z PRO skin bundle features one-of-a-kind semi-transparent designs that have slowly become a fan-favorite among the VALORANT community. Solid sound effects paired with eye-catching color variants have made this skin line stand out from other skins in the same tier.

On top of that, the Blade melee has a really unique equip animation, which is currently very popular among the player base.

RGX 11z Pro 2.0

Like other 2.0 Bundles, the RGX 2.0 also features those weapon skins that their previous version lacked. The original RGX 2.0 Skins look like the base model of RGX 11Z Pro weapons, with lime green being the primary default color.

There’s also an added butterfly knife with the 2.0 bundle, which is one of the most beautiful knives out there in the game. The variants are the same as the original RGX 11Z Pro Bundle’s variations, which will be orange, red, and dark blue.

Prelude to Chaos

Prelude of Chaos is an Exclusive Tier skin bundle. At first glance, the skins look absolutely stunning. For primary color, Riot went with a dark theme. However, the main attraction of these skins is the 3 levels and variants. Moving the skins sideways will reflect different sets of colors.

Chronovoid

To simply describe, the ChronoVoid weapon bundle looks like the Cavelier collection. The color combination is pretty much the same. The difference is that ChronoVoid skins have a bronze build, whereas the Cavelier collection weapons have a wooden build.

However, The weapons in the Cavelier collection look very ordinary compared to the ChronoVoid collection because the ChronoVoid collection does not follow the stock weapon designs. Also, the collection will have 3 extra color variants apart from the original one.

Araxys

Araxys bundle features a robotic and futuristic-looking theme. Since its release, the bundle has been pretty popular among the VALORANT community. On top of that, the weapons in this bundle are some of the most used weapons in the game. Hence, many players bought the bundle despite the high price tag.

Neo Frontier

Neo Frontier is one of the most unique releases by VALORANT. The skin line starts as barebone old-school weapons that can be transformed into badass modern weapons that’ll make you feel a lot more powerful when you hold them.

Imperium

The Imperium skin bundle shares familiar features from some of the previous skin lines. For starters, the emerald green combination with a golden touch closely resembles the skin from Serenity’s bundle.

The design, however, makes you think of the skin line as a discount Forsaken bundle. The melee is also nothing special. A similar melee weapon was also featured in the Iridian Thorn bundle.

Sentinels of Light 2.0

Sentinels of Light 2.0 has the same design and color schemes as its predecessor. However, the most notable difference in this bundle is the Relic Stone Daggers, which is a dual-wielding melee.

Special Exclusive Edition Skins

As mentioned earlier, Riot Games also releases some special Exclusive skins for weapons and melee from time to time. This section will include those types of skins.

Champions 2021 Collection

Riot Games released the Champions 2021 Bundle as part of their promotion for the VALORANT Champions tournament last year. It featured a black and gold Champions-themed Vandal and a Karambit melee with unique inspect animation.

The finisher animation tied with the event’s theme song featuring Brimstone was the cherry on top.

Champions 2022 Collection

Riot Games had its second VALORANT Championship tournament starting on August 31, 2022. To maintain its tradition, the developer released the VALORANT Championship 2022 skin bundle in the following patch. Players eagerly waited for its release as it was one of the most beautiful skin bundles in the game.

Just like before, the skin line contained only two skins. However, this time, the bundle brought Phantom into the game instead of Vandal. The Phantom had a golden and red color scheme like its previous ancestor. But, the design was different, and it looked like the weapon was made of precious Ruby and Gold, which looked absolutely stunning to the eye.

A Butterfly melee was also featured with the Champions 2022 bundle. The Butterfly Melee is very similar to the RGX 2.0 Butterfly knife except for its colors. In any case, the Champions 2022 skin bundle had an excellent thought behind its development, and fans loved the bundle like its predecessor.

Champions 2023 Collection

Riot Games had its third VALORANT Champions tournament starting on August 6, 2022. To maintain its tradition, the developer released the VALORANT Championship 2023 skin bundle in the 7.02 patch.

The Champions 2023 bundle took a slightly different approach compared to previous ones. Instead of a golden and red color combination, the new skins have a golden and purple color contrast. There’s also a glowing Champions logo above the trigger of the Vandal, which looks absolutely amazing.

The melee, on the other hand, looks a lot like the Skeleton Knife from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. However, there’s also a glowing Champions logo on the knife. Nonetheless, the reaction to the recent Champions bundle has mostly been positive.

Riot X Arcane Collector’s Set

The Arcane Sheriff was introduced in the game in collaboration with Riot’s web series: Arcane. In the series, one of the main characters, Powder, makes some crazy armaments, including a Hand cannon, in a surprising turn of events that will not be mentioned because of spoilers. The Arcane Sheriff’s skin in VALORANT is meant to resemble that.

Ignite Capsule

VALORANT was officially released in China on July 12, 2023. To celebrate VALORANT’s release in the Chinese market, Riot Games also released a brand new Ignite Capsule containing two new melee weapons named “Leque Flamejante” and “Alaz Yelpaze.”

The melees from the Ignite Capsule are works of art. As you can see, there are two variants of the same melee. The red and golden Kitana melee is called “Leque Flamejante.” and the violet variant is called “Alaz Yelpaze.” Both of these melees from the Ignite Capsule have the same features except for the color combination.

LOCK//IN Capsule

Exclusive Edition Skin Price

The Exclusive Edition of skin prices can vary depending on its exclusivity and the number of customization options the skin line features. Having said that, a typical Exclusive Edition skin costs around 2175VP for each individual skin and 8700VP for the whole bundle. On the other hand, special bundles and capsules like Champions, Arcane, and Ignite Capsule differ in price range and cannot be predicted.

However, they are really expensive skins. And if you want to upgrade these skins to their highest level using Radianite points, expect to pay even more.

How to Buy Exclusive Edition Skins

If you want to purchase Exclusive Edition skins in VALORANT then you would have to buy them as a whole bundle as soon as they arrive in the VALORANT’s digital store. Usually, each new bundle stays in the storefront for two weeks. Unfortunately, players can only purchase the full bundle within that time period.

However, there are two ways you can get your hands on past Exclusive Edition skins if you somehow missed your chance when they were available on the storefront. The first way is through the rotating skin shop in VALORANT’s digital store.

In the rotating shop, the game client randomly offers 4 different skins from past bundles. And the store rotates every 24 hours. If you get lucky and see an Exclusive Edition of skin in that lineup, you can get buy that particular skin.

The second way to get previously released Exclusive Edition skin is through the Night Market, which provides random discounts on six randomly selected skins ranging from Select to Ultra edition.

Do Exclusive Edition Skins Go on Sale?

As mentioned earlier, Exclusive Editionskins in VALORANT can go on sale via the Night Market. In short, Night Market provides randomly generated discounts on six randomly selected skins. If the RNG god is in your favor, you might catch Exclusive Edition skins on sale.

Upcoming Exclusive Edition Skins

As of writing, there is no update on any future Exclusive Edition skin in VALORANT. However, Riot tends to release multiple Exclusive Edition skins in a year. There is a good chance they might release more Exclusive Edition lines in 2024.

The post All the Exclusive Edition Skins of VALORANT in 2024 appeared first on GameRiv.

In total, there are five different tiers of skins in VALORANT. These are: “Select Edition,” “Deluxe Edition,” “Premium Edition,” “Ultra Edition,” and “Exclusive Edition.” Among them, the Ultra Edition skins are by far the most unique-looking cosmetic items in the game.

Ultra Edition skins are top-tier reactive skins that players can purchase in VALORANT using VP(Valorant Points). Also, these skins are upgradeable using Radianite points to unlock even more color variations, sound effects, and VFX. These effects range from basic lighting effects to full-fledged animations.

Unlike the other skin collections, the price of the Ultra Edition skins varies drastically from one another. As of this writing, Riot Games has released 4 Ultra Edition skin bundles. These are Elderframe, Protocol 781-A, Radiant Entertainment System, and Evori Dreamwings.

Note: We updated the article on July 7, 2024

Ultra Edition Skins

Elderflame

The Elderflame skin bundle was first announced in 2020, following the global release of VALORANT. Riot went out with their first Ultra Edition skin as they transformed a living breathing dragon into a skin line.

It looked as if these skins had a personality of their own. Keeping in line with other skins, the Elderflame bundle had upgrades for cool effects and four unique color variants like Red with subtle blue highlights, the default grey & orange, a mixture of blue & red, and lastly, a dark variant with purple highlights.

Protocol 781-A

Riot finally released a second ultra-edition skin in VALORANT called Protocol 781-A. As this is an Ultra Edition skin, Riot went out of its way to make something unique. Even though there are plenty of skins in VALORANT with a futuristic design theme, the release of Protocol 781-A Riot pushed the boundary once again on how much you can do with weapon skin.

At its core, Protocol 781-A features a dystopian cyberpunk design. On top of that, this skin line features unique voice lines as a fifth upgrade level to make it stand out from other Exclusive and Premium Edition skins.

Like the Elderflame bundle, Protocol 781-A features four color variants that can be upgraded using Radianite points.

Radiant Entertainment System

At first glance, the skin may look pretty ordinary. However, the animations and the sound of the skins will change your mind. The sound of the arcade games and pixelated animations will take you back to earlier days. Moreover, the skin has color variations and upgrades that may make every skin look different. So you can literally have multiple skins in one bundle.

Evori Dreamwings

The Evori Dreamwings skin collection is more special than the previous one because it is based on League of Legends’ famous Star Guardian skin line. If you’re not familiar with the Star Guardian theme, you may find the skins a lot similar to those of the Sailor Moon or Power Ranger characters. The main attraction of the skins is the vibrant pearlescent aesthetic with a touch of cute Star Guardian characters that are, in VALORANT, called Dreamwing friends. Although Riot Games didn’t integrate the Star Guardian characters directly into the skins, the resemblance is obvious and made in a way that fans can notice.

Ultra Edition Skin Price

The Elderframe, Protocol 781-A, and Evori Dreamwings bundles cost 9900 VP, meaning almost $100 for each collection. However, Riot Games went up another level by releasing the Radiant Entertainment System collection, which was available for purchase for a total of 11900 VP. As of now, it remains the most expensive skin bundle in VALORANT. However, there are only three Ultra Edition skins in the game. So, it only makes sense that these skin bundles are really rare and supposed to be expensive.

How to Buy Ultra Edition Skins

Unfortunately, the Ultra Edition skins can no longer be bought as a whole bundle. Riot usually releases a skin bundle as a whole set. And they stay in the digital store for two weeks. After that time, the bundle can’t be purchased as a whole skin set anymore.

The only way to get a hold of these ultra skins is to wait for each individual Ultra skins to arrive in your in-game store’s rotating shop, which usually features four unique skins from past bundles. And the store rotates every 24 hours.

So, if you somehow managed to get lucky and the RNG God blessed you with an Ultra skin, go to the store and claim that using Valorant points. Also, you can use Radianite points to unlock additional custom sound effects, animations, color variations, and finishers.

Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind the popular Titanfall franchise of video games, shocked everyone by releasing a battle royale spin-off called Apex Legends. Following its release, it cemented itself as the best battle royale game in the market, garnering 50 million players within the first month.

Wraith stood out for the mysterious abilities that enabled her to be invulnerable while being in a tricky situation and rotating her squadmates around the map via her portal. At launch, she was sort of a poster child for Apex Legends.

As she is a fan-favorite character, she has amassed quite a diverse collection of legendary character skins in the game. Since Apex is a free-to-play game, Respawn paid much attention to delivering some truly awe-inspiring outfits for Wraith.

This Wraith skin list was last updated after the release of Season 19 Ignite.

How Many Wraith Skins are There in Apex Legends?

So far in season 19 of Apex Legends, Respawn has released 103 Wraith skins. Among them are 3 Mythic, 1 Iconic, 40 Legendary, 15 Epic, 28 Rare, and 16 Common Wraith skins.

Our 10 Favorite Wraith Skin Picks

Wraith has stayed relevant as both a fan-favorite legend as well as being a valuable pick for high-ranking gameplay. Respawn has given Wraith some special treatment as she has the largest catalog of cosmetic skins.

With that said, we have picked our top 10 skins that we feel are the best. The list will focus on the aesthetic, lore, and even some gimmicks that we find players will enjoy. Still, the list is going to be subjective, and each player will prefer their signature look. We have also selected only Legendary Skins, as the Mythic and Iconic skins are gorgeous in their own right.

10. Quarantine 722

It was one of the first skins that players immediately fell in love with. The Quarantine skin came as one of the default legendary skins. Sometimes, you just have to love the classics!

9. Mistress of Evil

Respawn first introduced the witch-themed Wraith skin with the Fight or Fright collection event back in 2019. While one of the earliest skins to be released, this skin is still one of the most unique looks for our void Legend, covering up with the spooky vibes of Halloween.

8. Night Terror

Unleash your inner beast and revel in the hunt. The Night was among the first themed cosmetic skins released in the Legendary Hunt event in Season 1. The makeover sees Wraith embrace the beast within.

7. High Class

Released alongside Season 7, the High Class Skin is a premium battle pass reward that dresses Wraith very elegantly. Dress to kill and become a part of the inner circle in the Badlands’ most pristine societies.

6. Void’s Vassal

Let the void take over and do its bidding. The Void’s Vassal was released alongside the redesigned Revenant. This skin matches Wraith’s slow descent into the void as she struggles to find her place and stability. At least you will look just as menacing!

5. Punk Phaser

Stepping away from all the void shenanigans, the Punk Phaser brings out more color and shows us a different vibe. Make no mistake, however, Wraith still packs a punch with the right skill sets.

4. Dark Apparition

Let the darkness take over, and look good while doing it. This unique skin was a part of the Fallen Angel store sale and wrapped our favorite void walker in a sinister look. The dark side has fully taken her over with her purple and black looks. Strike fear into the hearts of your foes as the harbinger of pain.

3. Rift Stalker

Rift Stalker is one of the most sought-after Wraith skins in the game. The skin was hyped even before its release. The gorgeous ninja-like makeover fits Wraith’s personality well.

2. Ancient of the Void

Ancient of the Void is the newly added Wraith Legendary skin that was released in the Imperial Guard Collection Event. Since its release, it immediately became famous among the Wraith mains. Additionally, it is the only skin that isn’t a recolor from the past. The scary mask and flashy red armor make Wraith look like a Samurai, ready to kill anyone in their path.

1. Voidwalker

The Voidwalker variant of the Wraith skin was released alongside the Voidwalker event. This exact skin was featured in the Wraith’s stories from the Outland’s cinematic teaser trailer where Respawn gave fans a glimpse into her past.

Bonus Skin – Apex Voidshifter

Wraith’s Prestige skin, the Voidshifter, is undoubtedly the best in the game so far. Like other Prestige skin, it also has three tiers. Tier 1 is a very basic Wraith skin that resembles an Assassin’s Creed character. The Tier 2 skin, however, transforms Wraith into a Cyberpunk character with glowing blue eyes. In Tier 3, Wraith becomes a full-fledged Pilot with a face mask and fully equipped gear.

Will Past Event-related Wraith Skins Ever Return?

Respawn has announced that battle pass skins from Season 11 and onwards may be available in an event-specific skin package in the future. So, the event and recolor skins may ultimately make their way to the store. However, older skins from Battle Pass may never make it into the game.

Upcoming Wraith Skins

There has been no updated information on any future Wraith skins in the game as of the time this is being written. More Wraith skins will be shown as soon as they are revealed or leaked. In the meantime, check out the Upcoming Leaked Skins article to find any forthcoming skins that will be available in the future.

The post The 10 Best Wraith Skins of Apex Legends in 2024 appeared first on GameRiv.

Respawn Entertainment stunned the video gaming world by releasing Apex Legends, which is basically a battle royale spin-off of their Titanfall franchise. Aside from a fresh new take on the battle royale genre with hero shooter-like abilities, the gunplay and ease of movement also made the game stand out amongst the sea of other battle royale games.

On top of that, the game initially launched with a pretty diverse roster of firearms. From sharpshooting sniper rifles to skill-focused weapons, Apex packed quite a punch in its weapon department.

Among them, Flatline stood out from the crowd as a reliable competitor to the beloved R-301. As most of the weapons were originally from Titanfall, diehard fans of the Titanfall franchise already expected them to show up in one form or another.

As it is an assault rifle, it packs quite a punch. However, it is also really difficult to control at further distances due to the heavy recoil. Despite that, this AK-47 look-alike cemented itself as part of the weapon meta in Apex Legends.

Since Apex Legends is a free-to-play game with in-game microtransactions, players can choose to spend real-world money to customize their play sessions. As such, over the years, Respawn has released quite a few amusing skins for the Flatline.

The Flatline Skins tier list was last updated during Season 19.

How Many Flatline Skins are There in Apex Legends?

Right now, in season 19 of Apex Legends, 92 skins for Flatline are available. Among them, a total of 26 Legendary, 16 Epic, 35 Rare, and 16 Common skins have been released so far.

Our 10 Most Favorite Flatline Skin Picks

Apex Legends first launched in early 2019, and since then, Respawn has launched a handful of Flatline skins for its fans. The weapon has dropped in popularity since the launch of Apex Legends, yet it is still one of those guns players want to pick up if they see it lying in front of them on the ground.

As mentioned earlier, Respawn has released a bunch of Flatline skins in the game, and they will continue to do so in the future. However, here are our 10 best R-99 skins that we think are the best in the game:

1. Heat Sink

Heat Sink was released back in season 4 as a part of the exclusive battle pass level 100 reactive skin. Since this was exclusive to battle pass completionists, it has slowly become one of the game’s rarest and most sought-after Flatline skins.

The old battle pass skins are becoming more desirable by the Apex community as time goes by. Understandably, this one and its other metallic recolor, called “Heavy Metal,” are considered to be the best Flatline skins in the entire game. Unfortunately, this skin won’t be available to purchase again as this was a battle pass exclusive skin.

2. Revelations

Revelations is one of the most gorgeous Flatline skins in the game. The skin was paired with the Revenant skin with the same name. Revelations is inspired by the anime character Evangalion, so many anime fans are in love with the skin. Even if it wasn’t inspired by an anime character, the look of the skin alone could impress anyone.

3. Harlequin

Harlequin was part of an Octane-specific joker-themed bundle from Respawn. Aside from the battle pass level 100 skins, this one is also a fan-favorite Flatline skin. The overall gold and red aesthetic paired with joker face masks on the side of the skin really gives it a unique look.

4. Slayer’s Lancer

Slayer’s Lancer was part of the champion edition skin featuring Seer. The white gold colorway definitely caught the attention of the Apex community, and it quickly became a fan favorite skin. Respawn definitely didn’t disappoint with this champion edition bundle.

5. Teal Zeal

Respawn introduced the Teal Zeal Flatline skin with the Lost Treasures Collection Event. As the name suggests, it features a Teal colorway with subtle silver highlights at the back. And the steampunk aesthetics of the skin really turned some heads within the Apex player base.

6. Cord Cutter

Cord Cutter was part of Season 9’s Genesis Collection Event in 2021. This skin made a return in a bundle during the Anniversary Collection Event in February of 2022. This skin then made a return in the Golden Week Sale in April of 2022, where it was featured in a bundle.

7. Killer Carapace

Although Killer Carapace is a free skin that was rewarded to players in the Beast of Prey Collection Event, it is one of the best Flatline skins in the game. The mixture of greens with the addition of a futuristic-looking body of the skin makes the skin a first pick, even among the pros.

8. Molten Mayhem

Molten Mayhem was once a part of the Spellbound Collection Event for Season 15. The unique lava-like effect carved into the skin sets this skin apart from its rivals.

9. Chooser of the Slain

Chooser of the Slain was part of the Lifeline Edition skin bundle. It features a really cool-looking white and gold colorway with subtle maroon accent colors. All in all, it is one of the better-looking Flatline skins in the game.

10. Chained Beast

The Chained Beast was part of the season 8 battle pass. As per the bombastic, over-the-top season 8 battle pass theme, Respawn went all in for this one and created this red-colored beast featuring chains.

Will Past Flatline Event Skins Ever Return?

Respawn has announced that battle pass skins from Season 11 and onwards may be available in an event-specific skin package in the future. So, the event and recolor skins may ultimately make their way to the store. However, older skins from Battlepass may never make it into the game ever.

Upcoming Flatline Skins

As of writing, there has been no new development regarding any new Flatline skins in the game. We’ll definitely highlight more Flatline skins as soon as they get announced. In the meantime, check out the Upcoming Leaked Skins article to find any forthcoming skins that will be available in the future.

The post The 10 Best Flatline Skins of Apex Legends in 2024 appeared first on GameRiv.

Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind the popular Titanfall video game franchise, entered the highly competitive battle royale genre with Apex Legends. As Apex is set in the same universe as Titanfall, many of the original weapons also made it into the battle royale mode with slight alterations.

For example, the R-301 is a direct successor to the R-101 and R-201, available in the Titanfall games. Also, Apex being an online free-to-play FPS game means players don’t have a barrier to entry to enjoy this polished shooter.

Following Apex Legends’ release in 2019, the R-301 slowly cemented itself as the best assault rifle in the game. Its high rate of fire, paired with ease of control, made it the default choice for players of all skill buckets. In its current state, it is a laser beam. As this weapon is really popular, Respawn showered it with amusing-looking skins.

The R-301 skins list was updated after season 19 Ignite

How Many R-301 Skins are There in Apex Legends?

As of Season 19, Respawn has released 94 skins for the R-301. Among them, there are 30 Legendary, 12 Epic, 36 Rare, and lastly, 16 Common skins available for this popular assault rifle.

Our 10 Favorite R-301 Skin Picks

As previously said, there are numerous R-301 skins to pick from. However, not all skins are created equal. Some of the skins may not be suitable since they are too plain or too outrageous. So, after hours and hours of going through all of the R-301 skins, we’ve narrowed it down to the top ten favorites, which we know many of you would agree with. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

10. Intelligent Design

At the number 10 spot, we’ve picked Intelligent Design. It is a red recolor of the base Unsheathed legendary skin. It stood out from the other recolors mainly due to its unique red colorway. Also, this variation of the R-301 skin is clean-looking with a Japanese samurai armor aesthetic. Nothing extraordinary, but we love it!

9. Honored Prey

Honored Prey was part of the game’s very first battle pass skins. It was released alongside season 1 of Apex Legends. Matching the theme of the first battle pass, Respawn went all out for this savvy-looking R-301 skin fit for a hunter. Many of us Apex enthusiasts even bought the battle pass just to get this specific skin.

8. Ice Cold

Respawn Introduced the Ice Cold Variant of the R-301 skin back in 2019 as part of the holiday-themed Holo-Day Bash collection event. This R-301 stood out to us from the crowd of other legendary skins mainly due to its gold and blue colorway, which isn’t very common in Apex.

7. Amethyst Apathy

Sometimes, there’s beauty in simplicity. The Amethyst Apathy combines two beautiful colors into a skin to behold. While most skins are flashy and have distinct features or accents, this one is surprisingly humble. Released alongside the Evolution Collection Event, this skin is for those who crave a minimalistic aesthetic.

6. Fun in the Sun

Fun in the Sun R-301 skin was released alongside the System Override collection event in the game. It featured a unique yellow and light purple color theme, which really caught the attention of the player base, including us. Also, with all those tubes running alongside the side of the weapon, this skin looks even more popping.

5. Pieces of Eight

Pieces of Eight is one-of-a-kind R-301 skin in the game. The skin was released in the Raiders Collection Event in Season 11. The Pieces of Eight came paired with a Legendary Loba skin called Plumed Explorer. So, if you are a Loba fan like us, you must love this skin like I do.

4. Tried and True

In the Threelseekers event, Respawn introduced the Tried and True skin for the beloved R-301. Unlike most other skins of this particular weapon, it featured a unique rusty look. Unsurprisingly, the blue and gold colorway paired with the wood texture on the tail end of the weapon made this skin variant an instant hit among the Apex player base.

3. An Anger Righteous

An Anger Righteous skin came out alongside the Chaos Theory collection event. Respawn really went all out on this variant of the R-301 skin. It features a solid gold and blue colorway with a little hint of white. Also, the face mask on the side of the weapon certainly gave it a creepy vibe. It is one of the OG R-301 skins that many of us are still using even in 2024.

2. Blue Surge

The Season 16 Weapon Recolor Shop introduced Blue Surge to the game. It entered the Recolor store, although it is not a recolor weapon. However, this is not why Blue Surge is one of the best R-301 skins in the game. The player community loved this skin because of its futuristic appearance. Moreover, it is the only skin that deviates from the standard R-301 skin design. So, a lot of people find this skin to be incredibly intriguing.

1. The Golden Rampage

The Golden Rampage was the reactive battle pass exclusive skin that was released back in season 2 of Apex Legends. Due to the rare nature of this battle pass skin, this, along with its other recolor aptly named “Iron Rampage,” is highly sought after by the Apex community.

It features a unique-looking gold colorway on top of a Rhino skull at its tip. Similar to all the other reactive battle pass skins, it reacts to you getting a kill during the game. And we all must agree that it is one of the best reactive skins Respawn has released since the game’s release.

Will Past R-301 Event Skins Ever Return?

Unfortunately, the past battle pass-specific R-301 skins will not return to the storefront ever again, as they were an exclusive reward for that particular season. However, other recolors and event skins might return in the form of a recolor. But moving forward, Respawn has stated that battle pass skins from season 16 and onwards might return to the store in an event-specific skin bundle.

Upcoming R-301 Skins

As of writing, there has been no new update regarding any upcoming R-301 skins in the game. We’ll highlight more R-301 skins as soon as they get announced or leaked. In the meantime, check out the Upcoming Leaked Skins article to find any forthcoming skins that will be available in the future.

As with any other AAA live service video game, Apex Legends is littered with server-related issues. Unsurprisingly, many of these server-related issues end up crashing the game. Following a crash, the game displays different types of error codes depending on the cause of the crash.

In a recent patch, Respawn apparently added more error codes so that players can have a more in-depth look at what is actually causing these game crashes. Save these in your heads if you want to know exactly what is causing your game to crash.

All the Error Codes Explained

Code Leaf:

Code leaf is probably the most common form of error code in the game. It is basically a generic timeout that occurs whenever players’ clients can’t connect to the host server.

Code Net:

Code net is also another common error code that appears from time to time. The main reason behind this one is the “timeout Network Channel.” It means your connection to the EA servers has expired.

Code Soda:

Code Soda is definitely a rare error code. And in general, it happens whenever the client sends too many frames to the server.

Code Wheel:

Similar to Code Leaf, Code Wheel is, unfortunately, one of the common error codes in Apex. In short, it means players can’t connect to the servers after being spawned due to timeout.

Code Pin:

Code Pin is not that common but it occurs from time to time. This code appears whenever you get timed out of a server while loading the game.

Code Cloud:

Code Cloud means your local persistence data doesn’t match with Apex servers. Consequently, the error code says, “Timeout: Persistence Mismatch.”

Code River:

Players encounter “Code River” when Apex servers either send or receive too much data on a reliable channel. The error code usually says, “Network Error: Reliable Channel Overflow.”

Code Dam:

Code Dam is really similar to code River as it also occurs whenever the server sends or receives too much data. As such, the full error code says, “Network Error: Generic Overflow”.

Code Shoe:

Code Shoe appears as an error when the client is out of sync with the Apex servers.

Code Rock:

Code Rock means the client, which basically means your device doesn’t have the correct remote call that the server expects.

Code Truck:

Code Truck basically means the local script remote functions don’t match the server.

Code Clog:

Code Clog occurs when the server encounters a GRX script error.

Code Clock:

Code Clock means the Apex servers have stopped waiting for your client to connect to the servers.

Code Phase:

This error code usually appears whenever you are trying to connect to the servers, but the match isn’t at a state where you can actually connect.

Code Role:

Code Role means a spectator is connecting to the server as a real player.

Code Snake:

Code Snake means your client is banned from that particular server for any length of time.
