Riot Games recently introduced the RGX 11Z PRO 3.0 bundle in Valorant, the third installment of the popular RGX skin series. Despite the sleek and futuristic design of the skins, many players have voiced concerns over its high price. The bundle, which includes skins for the Outlaw, Sheriff, and a melee weapon, is priced at 6,700 Valorant Points.

 

Community Reactions

User u/KasumiGotoTriss expressed frustration on Reddit, arguing that the new bundle is overpriced and offers little value compared to other skin lines: "I just feel like they got the pricing for a 3-skin pack completely wrong, skins in Valorant have always been overpriced but this bundle makes other bundles look like a steal."

Another Redditor, u/RuinedYuki, criticized Riot Games for their pricing strategy, suggesting that the high price is due to the expected high demand: "Welcome to the time where Riot Games just does what they want because they know people will spend money on it, and they price it that high because they know it's going to sell a ton at that price."

u/CaptainTurtle3218 went as far as to label the pricing "predatory," pointing out that the bundle was released with the only premium Outlaw skin: "Their approach is rather strategic as the bundle was released with the only premium Outlaw skin."

u/Clear_Ad1944 suggested that the high price is due to the fact that bundles with four weapons often include the knife for free, whereas those with fewer weapons do not: "It’s because bundles with 4 guns have the knife for free, the 2-skin melee bundles don’t do that. Simple."

Finally, u/zarian100 advised players to avoid buying the skins if they disagree with the pricing, implying that the expense may be justified for some: "Just don't buy the skin if you are against the prices. The expense may be reasonable for some."

 

RGX 3.0 Bundle vs. Champions 2024

A significant concern among players is the timing of the RGX 3.0 bundle's release, which comes just before the highly anticipated Champions 2024 collection. The Champions skins are among the most exclusive and high-tier cosmetics in Valorant, typically released around the VCT Champions event. This year, Champions Seoul starts on August 1, 2024, and the collection is expected to be priced upwards of 6,000 Valorant Points.

Given this timing, many players are contemplating whether to wait for the Champions skins, which are likely to be more exclusive and possibly more desirable than the RGX 3.0 bundle.

Conclusion

The controversy surrounding the RGX 11Z PRO 3.0 bundle's pricing highlights ongoing concerns within the Valorant community about the cost of in-game cosmetics. As players debate whether to purchase the current bundle or wait for the upcoming Champions 2024 collection, Riot Games continues to face scrutiny over its pricing strategies.
