Dressed for Occasion: Riot Games reveals surprise VCT LOCK//IN Bundle to celebrate Kick-off Valorant event

It comes with a pointy stick.

New bundle?

Valorant is set to receive a new skin bundle in time to celebrate the upcoming LOCK//IN tournament in São Paulo, Brazil. With the 30 partnered teams across the 3 regions: EMEA, AMERICAS, and PACIFIC set to compete alongside two representative teams from the China region, there’s a whole lot of regional competitiveness on the line.

The bundle is set to release on the 8th of Feb, and remain available until the 7th of Mar. It will not return to the in-game store or future night markets. Furthermore, the proceeds from the sale of this bundle are set to be split 50-50 between Riot Games and the VCT partner teams. Riot has previously done limited edition bundles such as this, with the two Champions bundles coming to mind, as well as the promotional bundle for their Netflix show, Arcane.

Bundle Information

The bundle is set to include a knife skin, three unique VCT-themed player cards, and a spray featuring the always-flavorful phrase ‘VAMOS!’. Moreover, the knife, named Misericórdia, features four variants: default red for the Valorant Champions Tour, blue for the Pacific region, green for the Americas region, and purple for the EMEA region.

The LOCK//IN tournament is set to begin on the 13th of Feb, and run until the 5th of Mar. Read here for more tournament information, and here for the format. Stay up to date with all the latest Valorant news with Strafe Esports.
