Valorant recently released the official trailer for the upcoming bundle in collaboration with popular artist Zedd. However, the Valorant Spectrum Bundle seems to be a little over the line with its price, and many players have raised questions about the roots. Priced at 10,700 PV, it surpasses the Elderflame pack and has become the most expensive skin in Valorant. With 5 skins in the bundle, an individual skin would cost around 2675 VP, 200 more than the accurately detailed Elderflame collection.
Several netizens have raised questions about the price, while some think it's justifiable that RIOT took advantage of weapon skins, given that Valorant is a free-to-play game. The article talks about the details of the upcoming Spectrum Bundle, as well as possible reasons why it is so expensive.

Riot Games, with a tweet yesterday, officially confirmed that they are collaborating with renowned DJ, record producer and songwriter Anton Zaslavski, better known as Zedd in the music industry. Riot teased the upcoming collaboration via a Tweet, as well as a special reveal event held yesterday for the gaming community. The Spectrum bundle will be released today, along with the patch notes for Act 2.
However, it came as a shock to most of the community when we learned that the bundle would be priced at 10,700 VP. So what exactly caused this high price for, let's be honest, a classy Miimia with a cool finisher? Is it brand value to be a collaboration with Zedd? According to reports and the official release video, Zedd himself had been working on the audio cues with the Valorant team, and there might be a chance that was one of the reasons.
Following the release of the Elderflame Collection in Valorant, we witnessed the game's Premium Content Art Lead Sean Marino comment that skin sets are "not supposed to be 'cheap'". "We don't want players looking at something and saying, 'That looks cheap to me.' In addition, Valorant is completely free. Nothing you can buy gives you an advantage in the game or more content to play and just changes the way some things look. Players don't have to buy any skins at all in order to enjoy all the valor .
So, if someone must resent the high price of skins, the battlepass has more than 10 skins for $10, which makes it much more affordable. And other than the high price, the skins at the end couldn't be fresher. From the sound effects to the finisher, everything screams pop and is the first of its kind in Valorant.
