Riot’s recent release of the Kuronami Bundle has been driving VALORANT players wild. This skin set looks stunning, packed with flashy effects and super smooth animations. The highlight has to be the melee weapon, inspired by ancient Japanese hidden weapons. The signature knives have been transformed into a chained weapon with two sharp ends, unlike anything seen before.
But contrary to what many imagined, some players recently caught the weapon in actual combat. From a first-person view, the chained knives look impressive, with the chain connecting the blades and allowing for artistic moves. However, from other angles, the chain completely disappears, making the weapon look just like the default melee.
Many think the original poster might not have had their graphics settings turned up high enough. Others argue that Riot has never really focused on side angles for weapon models. Either way, the backlash is growing, with players accusing the developer of being sneaky with this new bundle.
Still, there’s no denying the Kuronami Bundle is one of the rare sets warmly embraced by the VALORANT community. Setting aside the display glitch, the two-stage finisher effect is a bold innovation from Riot since the game’s launch. Despite mixed opinions, this bundle remains a solid choice for players looking for a fresh experience right now.
