VALORANT’s beloved Reaver collection is set to return in Patch 12.01. This time around, however, the bundle will consist of only two skins: Melee (Butterfly Knife) and Bandit. The Reaver 3.0 collection also includes a player card, gun buddy, and spray.

Riot Games has a proven strategy of releasing sequels to popular skin bundles, yet we don’t often see a third iteration. To date, only Magepunk, VALORANT GO!, and RGX 11z Pro hold that distinction. Leaks suggest the revered Reaver collection is next in line, with two new additions expected in the upcoming Patch 12.01. Here's everything we know about the bundle so far.


VALORANT Reaver 3.0 Weapons and Variants

The Reaver 3.0 skins will have the same variants as the previous iterations: Default (Purple), Red, Black, and White. The animation and VFX also look similar.

A notable design upgrade in Reaver 3.0 involves the finisher. In previous bundles, the signature skyward vortex was always purple in color, regardless of the equipped variant. But for the two new skins, the finisher's visual effects will match the color of your chosen variant, which many in the community had been requesting since the Reaver 2.0 bundle. 


When Is Reaver 3.0 Coming? 

The new Reaver collection will be added in-game during VALORANT Patch 12.01. The two skins, along with the player card, spray, and gun buddy, arrived on January 22, 2026. You can purchase the bundle or its individual items from the Featured section of the in-game store

The Reaver V26 bundle will expire on February 12, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. PST / 8:00 p.m. CET. After this time, it will no longer be available in the Featured tab, and you'll have to wait for the individual skins to appear in your rotating Offers section if you wish to purchase them.


Reaver 3.0 Bundle and Skin Prices

The Reaver V26 Bundle costs 5,880 VP, a ~29% discount from its full price of 8,300 VP. Here are the individual items and their prices:

  • Reaver Butterfly Knife - 5,350 VP
  • Reaver Bandit - 1,775 VP
  • V26 Buddy - 475 VP
  • V26 Card - 375 VP
  • V26 Spray - 325 VP

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
