Yeah. It’s called monetization and yes it exists.

Model: protocol Texture: araxis Animation: xenohunter Stab animation: kuronami They should rename the knife to ctrl v knife

Man they just be scammin bruh😂

It's valorant please stop giving them money 😭

for bundles like these it used to be -33% off but they changed it to -30% off so maybe the price increased abjt as well

Its because the knife is so expensive it wouldnt be worth just buying the knife if buying the bundle was cheaper than the knife itself

You know something that truly triggers me with this skin, the fact that its called XeRofang and not XeNofang

Idk if people will hate me for this but I had been looking for a good bundle in the game and when this bundle arrived I fell in love with the knife, the vandal, it's sound and animations so I bought the bundle and I don't regret it at all.. but I've had so many shorts and videos recommended to me about it being a scam that I don't know what to make of it lmao

Welcome to predatory, aggressive and just straight up greedy microtransactions

“Costed” is mad 💀

At this point, there is no use of giving our hard earned money to riot for a bunch of useless skins

That swing on Reyna was criminal

I previously bought the sentinels of light 2.0 bundle in Dec last year, with the stone daggers included. Since then I bought the broken blade of the ruined king, and recently i bought this xerofang bundle. I previously dismissed it as the vandal skin looked too simple. But then I bought the bundle out of curiosity (and because it was a Lunar New Year bundle), and I loved the skins a lot, that I equipped all the skins. I love the knife animation, especially when i spin the knife on my agent's hand when switching weapons

Its the knife for 4.350

They did the same thing with magepunk 3.0 etc

Guys, the bundle is a Chinese lunar new year special so it is more expensive, it’s like the champions skins

“Costed” is not a word.

It’s either because of predatory monetization tactics, or because there are only 2 gun skins rather than the usual 4 per bundle, which is why the melee and accessories are only 30% off

Didn’t they do this with magepunk 3.0 too?

“Zenofang”😂

yeah, the other day I was calculating how much i needed to buy the knife and I noticed it and was like damn that’s not normal

Bro got me double checking with "XeNofang" 💀 I even got a pistol of it.

It not really sneaky when the mage punk 3.0 was like that too. Why did everyone forget that happen, every time valorant releases a 3 skin bundle, everything in that bundle is only going to be 30% off.

Idk man they didn't even try to hide it anymore

They do that all the time it’s a free game and also if the knife is a copy of all different skins isn’t a brand new one

same thing with: magepunk 3.0 rgx 3.0 champ 2021-22-23

The amount of times this guy said costed hurts my soul

I got the zero fang ghost but not the rest

Xeno fang and kuronami goes hard worth the money

Whst do you expect its the china gun for a reason

I think it's probably because this bundle was made for a special occasion more prevalent in Asian culture and yes it's lunar new year if people outside of Asia don't know it but because of that riot probably changed the pricing stuff and used the "special occasion" thing to make it seem more justified (the bundle is still cool as heck though)

It’s cause it’s not gonna be in the shop again

Riot: Hi I like money

The xenofang bundle is expensive but it is fire it also did come with a buddy a spray and with a calling card

This happened to the oni 2.0 too, BRUH :(

Well, the only thing make sense is xenofang was limited after this:))

why does he sound like peter griffins son

i didnt know the gaia have a knife skin

smh. they do this because its a 3 skin bundle lol. wouldnt be equal to the same vp discount as a bundle with more skins no? they do this with every 3 skin bundle, like when they released the skins for the outlaw.

YO WAIT I TOLD YOU THAT In ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR SHORTS

If yall stopped to think about it, if they DID make all those things free, the whole bundle would only be like 3500 VP, cheaper than only buying the knife. Less items less discounts.

XERO NOT XENO

Yeah its also an araxys from walmart

Imagine Xenofang OP guardian sheriff Just Dam👌👌👌

im pretty sure making the whole bundle 3600vp or smth would be the worst idea for riot, i mean yeah they did change it, since those bundle has 4 gun skins and this only has 2, its verg reasonable for riot to do so.

“Wait no what?” Continues to buy the bundle*

I bought the pack and dont regret it 😂💀. They can take my money as long as i like what they give

Bro really said "costed"

Yeah the tree bundle is great I own both packs

Bros valorant accent is hitting hard

Xerofang not really that bad, just exclusive for cny

Isn't it because it's exclusive? Like the champions packs, costing more than 50€ a vandal/phantom skin + champions knife?

They did -23% off for rgx 3.0💀

isnt the xenofang bundle araxys and like chromedek combined basically

Next they’ll make us pay the animations and finishers… oh wait they do

It gives u aimbot and superpowers watchu talking abt

It costs 8k in India buddy

Gaias skins cost 1775 and xerofang 2165 so it's not same price

No one is forcing you but its nice to have lowkey

I buy vandal just 1.700 cp

"Costed"

And there are some idiots who blindly flow and buy their stuffs

Just like Magepunk 3.0.

it’s xerofang holy shit

How to get your teaching class and is it free?

They also made the knife cost 8 dollars more Someone else said that if the knife and accessories were free it’d be too close to the knife price, and I agree They could’ve made the discount more like 50 or something Idk I don’t feel like doing the math

soo basically pay 71 for a combat card thing to get the bundle free>

Yeah But the knife its worrh all its so Cool

Skins are a waste of money. With that skin money, there are lots of parts that can be upgraded to the PC Setup.

Everytime he said xenofang I lost a braincell

did anyone else notice that he said it wrong every time- its not xeNOfang its xeROfang

For females, it’s probably really loose and they just flop it forward and it does the job.

Just like magepunk 2.0 bundle 😂

It's cost, not costed

It’s “costs” not “costed”

Exclusive will never appear again

Bro who tf said it’s Araxys model inthe comments . Dawg it’s literally a BATTLE PASS model 😭😭 it’s the Venturi vandal model. It’s disgusting

bro mistaken xerofang for xenofang

Xenofang💀

cuz of knife

Bro said Xenofang

isnt this the same as magepunk 3.0?

Its also pretty dam cool

Bro says xeNofang but its with a R

Yh i noticed

Imo the xerofang vandal is just an extremely downgraded Araxys it sounds like Araxys it shoots like Araxys it has a fussy resemblance of Araxys even for the inspection it reminds u of Araxys cuz xerofang inspection have those triangle things moving up then move down upon end of inspection, it lets u first thought of Araxys when the gun come "alive" and finally Araxys have far better finisher cuz xerofang finisher feels and looks like a downgraded imperium vandal finisher so in the end its just 🤮🤮😵‍💫

It’s cus of the knife

Im REALLY early... weird

Its cost not costed omg

If it's too expensive don't buy it, that isn't a scam.

(Yo so this is long but just skip to the conclusion if you have a low attention span.) Alright I find this stupid. The Gaia bundle. Yes it may have 5 skins but no animation other than the pull out aura that lasts 0.2 seconds. Yes it has a finisher and I personally like it better that the Xenohunters but they’re close. But on the other hand. The xenohunter weapons have an animation, finisher, and sound effect while Gaia has 2 of those 4. You can obviously tell that the xenohunter looks way cleaner and they put a lot of work. MORE WORK THAN THE GAIA. For these reasons of course it’ll cost more, ITS WORTH MORE. And don’t get me started on the xenohunter knife. You can’t say that the Gaia knives were harder to make and if you do try animating the gaia and xenohunter yourselves and see which is harder. In conclusion, it’s harder to make these type of skins consistently like the kuronami and xenohunter that is only now what satisfies the Val community. So Riot is just charging what it’s worth. If you can’t afford the better skins stop complaining, you’re not getting scammed.

after all the skins became chewed up regurgitated food, i stopped buying them

Riot be begging as hell

The knife is 43500

Doesn’t exclusive mean it won’t come back, the gaias bundle comes back in the shop all the time.

Im confused about how people didnt complain about Magepunk 3.0 but complain about Xenofang. Did they copy alot of skins? Yes, those skins were also loved by community. Is it overpriced? Yes, but you can say that about literally every bundle that comes out. Is Riot scummy, that the only thing they can release are skins, nerfs and dogshit maps? Ofc, but they literally do that in every single one of their games.

Riot has been becoming more and more greedy. The more you buy the bundle the more it tells riot "yea this is good, keep upping the price, we'll keep buying"

okay but it's xerofang not xenofang

Its xerofang not xenofang 😅

*Riot sell stuff that adds NO advantage to the gameplay and doesn't force you to buy it.* This short: "oo very sneaky sneaky corpo."
