Valorant- new Elderfire skins
Riot Games unveiled some new weapon skins called “Elderflame”. The skins aren’t the type you see in games like PUBG, or Call of Duty. In fact, they turn your weapon into a dragon. Yes, you heard that right, a dragon. Watch the new trailer below.
The dragon can breathe fire and help in reloading. These skins are the game’s first “Ultra-Edition” skin. From the trailer, the skins appear to be available for guns and a knife.
Twitter exploded after the trailer for the skin dropped. You can read some of the tweets below.

Way too over the top, knife is the only normal looking thing from that quick shot in the trailer… unless it’s a baby dragon or something

The simple fact that if you get a knife in cs it is now a shooter and a lazay faire open market simulator. Valorant skins are just a heartless transaction

Guess I'm the only one thinking the new VALORANT skins look complete ass 😂 like, why would I want my rifle to look like a fucking dragon even spewing fire? Oh well, each to their own. Graphic details on point tho, I'll give them that.

The new skins don’t come at a pocket-friendly price. The Elderflame skins will cost you $100, which is for the whole bundle. Players aren’t happy with the pricing and perhaps, Riot Games could take note of this. The Ultra Edition skins will be sold as a bundle for 2,475 Valorant Points which roughly translates to $100.
The new skins will be available in the in-game store from July 12. Would you be purchasing them? Let us know by dropping a comment below.
