Did you know that there was yet another feature for the latest Valorant bundle Radiant Entertainment System? The Riot Games masterpiece FPS shooter has been on roll since its release. The game has topped charts and now can proudly boast one of the most engaging eSports fronts.

An aspect that makes the game quite intriguing is its skins. The concept of weapon skins is not distinctive to Valorant, but the game has added a very unique flair to them, which makes the skins stand out compared to other FPS titles. The latest bundle in the game is quite exquisite, but interestingly it had more than what meets the eye.

Valorant has brought in numerous skin lines through their bundles for the player base. The battlepass and agent contracts also bring some more to the list of weapon skins. Among these bundles, when the pricepoint and tier are a bit high, we get skins that have unique animation and kill effects.

Adding to this latest category is the Radiant Entertainment System. This skin has been teased for a long time now, and fans are finally getting to use it. From the showcase video, we can note that it has three variants that have unique features of their own. Each variant has a different thematic arcade background. It even has different kill animations for each variant, which have caused quite a buzz among gamers.

But interestingly it had one more variant. Valorant skin lines largely follow the two variant and four variant styles. That is, most top-tier guns which have kill animations have a minimum of two variants (like Forsaken) or four (like Reaver). Interestingly, the new Radiant System only has three.

The fourth supposed variant was the Octo-Arcade theme skin, which likely would have been a blueish variant. The kill animation may have been something related to marine and an octopus as the arcade style was based on that. But it seems that Riot did not want to introduce that into the game. Fans who got to know this were quite surprised and were even seen demanding the release of this particular variant.

But of course, before release almost every aspect that is brought into the game goes through countless changes. Things are removed that the developers deem not necessary in the game, and we can speculate that the Octo-Arcade variant of the new bundle fell under that category.
