Riot vam bo omogočil, da plačate, da svoje puške Valorant spremenite v puške 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.

Zanimivo je, da Paket Black Market (odpre se v novem zavihku) 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:

• Vandal postane AK-47
• Bulldog postane FAMAS
• Maršal postane skavt (ta dva sta si bila že precej podobna)
• Classic postane Glock-18
• Nož postane nož metulja

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.

Odzivi na sveženj so primerno mešani. Nekateri igralci uživajo v drznih preobrazbah Counter-Strike, medtem ko drugi to jemljejo kot znak, da se Riot ustraši brenčanje okoli Counter-Strike 2 (odpre se v novem zavihku). 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 (odpre se v novem zavihku).

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 Odgovor (odpre se v novem zavihku) 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?

Riot se še naprej zavzema, da bo Valorant imel dovolj nizke specifikacije, da bo lahko deloval na karkoli, vendar to prinaša žrtve.
