Valorant skin prices: what skins cost in VP

Almost every weapon skin sits in one of five tiers, and the tier sets the price. This is the ladder from cheapest to most expensive:

In the store and in your collection, every skin carries a tier colour. Select is blue, Deluxe is green, Premium is purple, Exclusive is orange and Ultra is red. The colour is the fastest read on the price: if you know the band, you know the number.

The tier also predicts how much custom work a skin has. A Deluxe skin usually swaps the model and adds a fresh sound, while Premium and above tend to bring new animations, a finisher and a reload flourish. Ultra goes furthest and is priced accordingly.

Most skins launch inside a bundle, and the bundle is deliberately cheaper than buying each piece on its own. A typical Premium bundle is priced like four skins plus the extras, so the fifth skin, the melee and the cosmetic add-ons come along for free.

That is why bundle buyers usually come out ahead on price but behind on choice. If you only want one skin from a bundle, you can wait and buy it individually once the bundle leaves the store, usually a few weeks later.

The trade-off is patience. Buying the bundle gets you everything immediately and often a limited melee that never returns, while buying singles later costs list price for exactly the pieces you want.

The Night Market is a limited-time set of personal offers, usually six skins at a random discount. Those prices sit below the tier list, sometimes well below, which is why people wait for it before buying an older skin.

Your daily store can also discount individual skins as a featured offer. Anything bought through either route costs less than the list price, so your real spend drifts under the tier total over time.

VP is sold in local currency, and the price of a VP pack is set per region, so the same tier can cost a little more or less depending on where your account lives. The VP numbers in this guide are the usual ones in most regions rather than a fixed global rate.

This also means two people comparing collections can disagree about what a skin cost without either of them being wrong. The tier is the constant; the currency is not.

VALODEX keeps a price for each skin as you add it, taken from the same store data the game uses. That is what lets a card show a price chip under every skin and a running total in the corner.
