Valorant's Dragon Skins: Hype or Overpriced?

Experience the jaw-dropping Elderflame bundle, Valorant's first Ultra Edition weapon skins, with stunning dragon transformations and animations!

Yo fam, Riot just dropped Valorant's FIRST Ultra Edition weapon skins – the Elderflame bundle – and holy moly, these ain't your grandma's gun camos. We're talking full-on dragon transformations with fire-breathing animations, scales that shimmer like they’ve been dipped in molten lava, and a knife that literally turns into a dragon’s claw. insert mind-blown emoji here

But lemme hit you with the tea ☕: This drip costs 9,900 VP for the full bundle. Crunch those numbers, and you’re looking at roughly £90 (cries in broke gamer). That’s like… three months of Netflix or one fancy dinner date… but nah, you’d rather flex with a dragon AR, right?


The Good Sh*t: Why Everyone’s Obsessed

  • Dragon Aesthetic 100% 🐉: Guns morph into baby dragons mid-reload. The sniper rifle? Its scope is a dragon EYE. Actual sorcery.

  • Dynamic AF: Bullets leave fiery trails, and kills trigger dragon roars. Perfect for BM-ing opponents.

  • Knife Skin = Claw Mode: Stab enemies with a literal dragon talon. Edgelord fantasy achieved.


The Elephant in the Room: £90?!

Let’s break it down Valo-style:

Item VP Cost Real Cash (≈)
1 Skin 2,475 £23
Full Bundle 9,900 £90
Upgrade Currency (extra) ??? Your soul

Riot’s like: “Here’s a dragon… and your wallet’s on fire.” 🔥 Compared to CS:GO’s black market (cough $100k knives cough), this is… structured robbery. But still – 90 quid for pixels? Big yikes.


Community Vibes: Split Down the Middle

  • Simps: “TAKE MY MONEY. DRAGON GUNS = WORTH.”

  • Critics: “This sets a dangerous precedent for hyper-expensive skins.”

  • Me: “But… dragon go rawr?” 🤷♂️

Honestly, it’s giving League of Legends Ultimate Skin energy. Remember Elementalist Lux? Yeah, this is that level of extra – but for guns.


Final Take: Flex or Regret?

If you’re a content creator or a whale, this bundle is must-cop. For casual players? Maybe just buy one skin to stunt occasionally. But let’s be real – Riot’s laughing all the way to the bank. 💸

Open Q time: Would you drop £90 on a skin bundle if it means psychological warfare via dragon roars? Or is this the start of Valorant becoming Pay-to-Flex? Sound off below! 👇
