Η Riot θα σας επιτρέψει να πληρώσετε για να μετατρέψετε τα Valorant όπλα σας σε όπλα Counter-Strike

Valorant’s next cosmetic bundle is looking eerily familiar. The Black Market pack, arriving on April 12, is an unsubtle homage to Counter-Strike conveniently timed with Valve’s recent announcement of Counter-Strike 2.

Είναι ενδιαφέρον ότι το Πακέτο Μαύρης Αγοράς (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα) is the exact opposite of Valorant’s typical style of loud, impossible-looking magical skins. The five included skins transform default Valorant guns into a close approximation of their Counter-Strike equivalents. For example:

• Ο Βάνδαλος γίνεται AK-47
• Το μπουλντόγκ γίνεται FAMAS
• Ο Στρατάρχης γίνεται Πρόσκοποι (αυτοί οι δύο ήδη έμοιαζαν αρκετά)
• Το Classic γίνεται Glock-18
• Το μαχαίρι γίνεται μαχαίρι πεταλούδας

In case you’re still unsure if the similarities are a coincidence, the Black Market bundle even references Counter-Strike’s terrorist/counter-terrorist format by changing each skin’s appearance when you’re attacking or defending. If the reference holds up, I assume you’ll only see that wood-grain Vandal on attack.

Οι αντιδράσεις στη δέσμη αναμειγνύονται κατάλληλα. Μερικοί παίκτες απολαμβάνουν τις αναιδές μεταμορφώσεις Counter-Strike, ενώ άλλοι το εκλαμβάνουν ως σημάδι ότι η Riot εκφοβίζεται από το buzz γύρω από το Counter-Strike 2 (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα). Personally I think these skins, while simple, are a huge improvement over Valorant’s dreadfully boring all-black default skins. It’s a shame that they’ll probably be wildly overpriced: official pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but judging by the way Valorant tends to price bundles, expect to pay anywhere from $60-$80 for all five skins (or $16-$23 per skin).

“I mean guess it’s fine, but I can’t justify paying money for generic skins for weapons I’ve used in every FPS shooter for the last 20 years,” wrote Redditor xStickyBudz (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα).

Another common reaction is disappointment that the attack/defense skin swapping feature will be exclusive to this bundle. Valorant players have been asking for a similar feature that works for any skin for years, but according to Riot, it hasn’t materialized because of the potential strains on hardware requirements.

“More skins and more memory = more load times,” wrote associate art director Sean Marino in a απάντησης (ανοίγει σε νέα καρτέλα) on Reddit. “We want players to get in the game quickly and not have a bunch of things going on in the background preventing you from doing that—more memory means bigger hardware memory requirement.”

Fair enough, but if I were a Valorant player I don’t think I’d be satisfied. Would players really mind slightly longer loading times if it means more freedom to show off the skins they’ve paid hundreds or thousands of dollars on?

Η Riot συνεχίζει τη δέσμευσή της να διατηρεί το Valorant σε χαμηλές προδιαγραφές ώστε να λειτουργεί με οτιδήποτε, αλλά αυτό έρχεται με θυσίες.
