Valorant’s Elderflame Weapon Skins
Gaming’s 6 Most Satisfying Weapons of 2020
When Riot Games’ Valorant released in June of last year, it was praised for its unique blend of tight gunplay similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and a compelling roster of “Agents” as seen in games like Overwatch.
Of course, it’s the former –the stellar shooting mechanics– that act as the foundation for this pick of the most satisfying weapons in 2020, with the Elderflame weapon skins just adding a bit more panache to the proceedings.
The complete set (four weapon skins and a knife skin) went on sale on Valorant’s store for an eye-watering $95. But we’d argue when the base designs look that good, and their kill animations really are quite like nothing else we’ve ever seen before, they’d be worth coughing up the cash for if you’re an avid Valorant player.
I mean, just feast your eyes on these bad boys in this trailer:
The Elderflame skins sure do raise the bar for cosmetic designs and animations… though the price tag that should accompany them is definitely still up for debate.
