Like every year, Riot Games hosted the Valorant Champions 2023. The annual event is quite an occasion for the Valorant community. Thousands of fans look towards the tournament every year. But it’s not all about the competition.
The annual event brings with it a shiny new cosmetic bundle. Keeping up the tradition, Valorant delivered this year as well with the captivating Valorant Champions 2023 bundle. While the entire bundle is impressive, the real star of the show is the Vandal with its gold and violet hues.
Unfortunately, not everyone might have been able to get their hands on the iconic gun. Whether you were simply too busy to play the game, or you missed the limited-time window, here’s how you can get the Champions Vandal in 2023.
What does the Valorant Champions 2023 Bundle Include?
The Valorant Champions 2023 Bundle hit stores on Friday, August 4th, 2023. The event-themed bundle came with a Vandal, Knife Melee, a player card, and spray. The entire bundle featured a similar color palette focusing on gold and violet.
The bundle draws inspiration from the Hollywood glitz and glam, paying tribute to the Champions being held in Los Angeles.
As far as price is concerned, the set did not come cheap. Players could claim the items in the event-related bundle for the tall price of 6,167 VP. When you buy the items together as part of the deal, you can avail the 33 percent discount.
Individually, the items go for much a higher price. The Kunai alone costs a jaw-dropping 5,350 VP.
A Closer Look at the Champions Vandal
The Champions Vandal has managed to gather quite the fanbase for itself. The skin stands out with a small VCT logo that glows gold on the glittering new weapon. Lit up, the Vandal looks even cooler with vibrant purple lines radiating from the logo, extending all the way down to the gun’s trigger.
It’s an elegant design, truly befitting a champion. The gun’s bullets and firing audio deserve the same level of appreciation. They feel perfectly balanced, giving the gun an overall feel similar to that of the Prime Vandal.
Additionally, the finisher for the skin spawns the Valorant Champions trophy above defeated enemies along with multiple screens featuring the face of the victor.
Like the weapons before it, the gun features three unlockable tiers.
- Level 2 – New animation and SFX
- Level 3 – New Killer Banner and Kill SFX
- Level 4 – Champion’s Aura
Additionally, the Champions 2023 Vandal undergoes a fascinating transformation, evolving after every three kills, and culminating in a truly impressive radial effect once it reaches the milestone of 30 kills. You’ll even see a new line appear at the base of the Vandal after every three kills, adding to the visual appeal of the gun.
These upgrades are only for those who unlock Level 4 of the gun. Moving on to the price tag, the Vandal costs a pretty penny at 2,675 VP. But rest assured, it’s worth every dime!
How To Get The Champions Vandal?
Unfortunately, the collection was pulled from stores on August 26th, 2023. The Champions Vandal was only meant to be in the shop for three months along with the Champions Bundle 2023. Once the time period was over, Riot Games removed the bundle from the shop, marking the end of the anticipated tournament.
During the event, purchasing the gun was a simple matter of heading to the store and paying with Valorant Points. You had the option to buy the gun separately or as part of the entire Champions Bundle 2023.
But the Champions Vandal is no longer available for sale. Don’t hold out any hope of catching the gun at the Night Market either because it won’t be making an appearance.
What Should You Do?
Unfortunately, the heart wants what it wants. If yours is dead set on getting the Champions Vandal one way or another, then there are some non-Riot Games-approved avenues that you can look into. You can consider buying a Valorant account which includes the Champions Vandal 2023.
Now, buying accounts is strictly banned under Riot Games’ policy. All accounts and items are the company’s property. Anyone found guilty of making a profit by selling the company’s goods is at risk of facing dire consequences.
Yet, you’ll find plenty of people taking the risk and buying Valorant accounts. The trick is to not get caught and the only way to make sure of that is to buy from trusted marketplaces. Consider platforms recommended by other players in the community or with five-star reviews.
Stay away from shady third-party sellers because it’s not only about being caught by Riot Games. By going off-platform, you’re risking your personal and financial information as well. If you want to avoid landing in an ugly situation, our advice is to stick to Playersloot.
The website is well-established as a trusted marketplace for Valorant accounts. If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of our service, you can check out the many reviews on our page. At Playersloot, we focus on providing our players with a safe trading environment.
