The final VALORANT Night Market of 2024 is finally here! Starting December 16th 05:00 PM PT, players can tune into the game and check their respective draws, hoping for a Christmas miracle.

What is a Night Market?

VALORANT Night Market is a unique recurrent theme in the game where players can buy skins at discounted prices.

But it is not as simple, these discounts are randomly assigned and players cannot choose the skins they can buy. In sort of a lucky draw, players receive six draws of skins and attached discounts to each of the skin draws.

The Night Market is Riot and VALORANT’s way to introduce ‘gacha’ into the game, adding an element of anticipation and excitement as players look forward to their randomized selection of discounted cosmetic items.

It also commemorates the end of an act as the players prepare for the upcoming act.

What skins to expect in Ep. 9 Act III Night Market?

The upcoming night market features the following skinlines:

  • Los Angeles - December 16th 05:00 PM PT
  • New York - December 16th 08:00 PM ET

From small updates to Waylay (which should result in a slight nerf) and Viper, to new voicelines for Yoru and a long list of bug fixes, the new VALORANT update will continue to drive the game towards its most balanced and polished state.
