Attention VALORANT fans: this is the time you have been waiting for. Yes, the Night Market returns, and it brings with it those sweet discounts. The announcement has dropped from Riot Games, and this event is going to last from April 9 all the way through the end of the month. Three whole weeks of haggling with weapon skins, and if the VP (that would be valuably-point sellers save did not get this) has finally saved, there is no time like now to go mad.
Now, for those who are in the dark about it, the Night Market is essentially a flash sale in VALORANT. During random days of the year, a “night market” appears, showcasing six skins available to an exclusive personal pool for a discount from the list price of that specific skin. What is the catch? The catch is, you never decide which skins are on sale: it’s all RNG, baby. You’ll score insane deals on premium skins while others…let’s just say that RNGesus isn’t always kind.
Last time the Night Market popped up, the community again had some @#^!. People’s dreams were half-priced, others got skins they would not have ever equipped, and so on. But that is gambling for you, isn’t it? And yeah, no less a fresh means to become drippy without burning a hole in your pocket.
So, what will be your Night Market? Will it finally be the coveted Reaver Vandal, or will Riot bestow another price cut on a skin you already owned? Only time will tell.
One thing is for sure: if there’s one thing VALORANT players have in common, it’s being in the favor of good deals, and the Night Market definitely will have its share of people talking. The last time it happened, social media was rife with post after post on screenshots of lucky pulls and salty rants about bad RNG. No replies yet on the official tweet, but you know that, the second this thing goes live, the internet is going to explode.
Mark your calendars, hit the reminder set, and do whatever you have to do-the Night Market waits for no one. And if you miss it? Well, better luck next time. Riot’s been pretty good at bringing it back every few months, so even if you’re getting nothing this time around, there will always be another chance.
Now go to the skincraft shrine every day and maybe pray for discount favors. Your perfect discount may indeed be lying somewhere out there…or not.
Was saying something? Right, Night Market. April 9. Don’t forget. Or do. I’m not your mom.
(But seriously, this is a must-not-forget.)
