Riot Games has unveiled the features and effects of the Valorant Champions 2024 Phantom and melee weapons included in the bundle, which will be released on August 1.
Over the years, Champions bundles have offered unique effects that justify their high price, and the 2024 edition is no exception.
The new tournament-specific cosmetics will feature special kill banners at the bottom of the screen, tracking player kills per round by filling in the VCT logo. Achieving an ace will fully illuminate the logo.
The VCT logo on the back of the gun will track the player’s kills throughout the match, filling in part of the design every three eliminations, up to 24 kills.
The Champions aura is also making a return, causing the Phantom skin to glow when the player holding it has the most kills in the lobby. If the VCT logo is filled in and the player is the kill leader, the skin will gain a gold finish similar to the Valorant Champions trophy.
The Phantom’s finisher is a spectacle, showcasing every enemy the player has killed in a “supernova explosion” alongside the Champions trophy.
Players can also shoot the asteroids spawned by the finisher and stand inside it to pose under the trophy.
You can even lift the trophy.
