New Valorant Weapon Bundle ‘Araxys’ Is a Futuristic Skin Design With Halo Vibes

Riot Games is kicking off its new season of Valorant content next week, and of course, there’s a new bundle coming along with it. The new weapon skin is called ‘Araxys,’ and it’s a futuristic-looking design that reminds us of something from Halo or Destiny.

“The goal was to create a skinline that embodied the danger, the mystery, and the power of an unknown, possibly hostile, alien race. We wanted to make something that seemed technologically advanced, yet too dangerous for mankind to wield safely. We wanted to create something sleek but aggressive, advanced but dark in nature.” – Stefan Jevremovic, Riot Games Art Lead

The Araxys bundle is an XE tier premium bundle that costs 8700VP in total (around $90). It features the following items:

• Araxys Vandal
• Araxys Operator
• Araxys Shorty
• Araxys Bulldog
• Araxys Bio Harvester (melee)
• Araxys Gun Buddy
• Araxys Card
• Araxys Spray

All weapons in the bundle are upgradable across four different Levels. These are as follows:

• Level 1 – Custom model, bullets, and ADS reticle
  • Level 2 – Custom firing audio and visual effects (muzzle flash)
  • Level 3 – Custom equip, reload, inspect, and idle animations, visual effects, and audio (including firing audio)
  • Level 4 – Finisher and Kill Banner
  • Variant 1 – Purple Variant (with Purple Finisher and Kill Banner)
