Riot Games doesn’t put a damn thing by: the VALORANT Night Market resumes running tonight. This time for all hoarders who are keeping themselves from earning VP, it’s really going to be let out.
The newly inducted are still in going blind looking when it was spoken before, for the Night Market is synonymous with all the usual evils of a Black Friday sale-with tons of bright gaudiness and practically no scandal. Rather, the shopping thriller will have six random weapon skins at a subsidised cost in its limited-time shop for some hits, misses, and last but not least, a jam-packed highway.
Here’s the catch, though: Riot didn’t even say which of those skins has rotated this time. Maybe it’s the most precious of all-the-fans collection, the Reaver. Or maybe some Glitchpop goodies. Or…. shudders you’re just going to find six useless melee skins you would never use. Oh the pain! The tension! The why did I get this ugly butterfly knife again?!
The tweet itself is really quite short and sweet-no frills; just straight-up announcement with a slick visual teaser (because Riot knows all too well that we are magpies for shiny things). But really, the question is: Why isn’t the community making a fuss in the replies? Crickets. Zero. Nada. Either they’re all busy reading their credit cards for their last preparation or they’re still trying to heal from the emotional trauma caused by the previous Night Market.
Pro tip for tonight: set a limit. Seriously. That “just one more roll,” and you’ll find yourself staring at a bank statement that looks like a crime scene. And it ends up being a lucky strike for you if you managed to snag a 50% off Phantom skin: VALORANT bingo-winner! If not? Well… there’s always next time. Maybe.
So diary it down as a date, set an alarm for it and pray to the RNG deities. Opening night of the Night Market tonight, who’s brave enough to step in?
