Are you running an ACOG or a tac laser? Both? That’s the options you will get with Valorant’s<\/a> new Recon bundle — but don’t worry purists, it’s all just for show.<\/p>\n

The game’s newest skin bundle brings a style that wouldn’t look out of place in Call of Duty: Warzone, all hi-tech military offerings boasting attachments with the Ghost, Spectre, Guardian and Phantom all being kitted out.<\/p>\n

There is also the ‘Balisong’ Butterfly knife which players can twirl in their hands before sinking it into someones back — all-in-all this is likely to prove a popular skin bundle.<\/p>\n

“While the idea of attachments for gameplay purposes didn’t make its way through to the final game, there has always been a select few on the team who really loved the look of grounded military weapons that were kitted out with various attachments,” explained Art Lead, Sean Marino.<\/p>\n

“Recon is our attempt to capture that fantasy of being in a more traditional modern shooter, having a gun that feels more representative of something you might see in modern combat.”<\/p>\n

On the knife, Marino reveals that making the butterfly knife something special for players with a series of tricks included, was key.<\/p>\n

“We spent a lot of time looking at videos of butterfly knife tricks, seeing how other games have implemented them and really just dug deep into delivering on an awesome experience.”<\/p>\n

“Once we had all of the animations in place it was just really fun for everyone to walk around in-game spamming their equips, inspects and attacks to just watch the knife spin and flip in the character’s hands.”<\/p>\n
