Mystbloom bundle gives an unfair advantage to players who bought it.
Riot Games recently released its newest skin bundle, Mystbloom. The fans immediately hyped up the new skinline upon its leak because of its pink and cute aesthetic.
VALORANT players, especially women, were quick to buy the new “girly pop” skin. The aesthetic color schemes and its beautiful finisher captured the hearts of the players. The finisher looks like a field of flowers with a lotus in its center.
This might be the initial reason why players are buying the new Mystbloom bundle. However, the new bundle was instantly called a “pay-to-win” skin as players noticed a game-changing bug.
When players inspect or reload the gun, they can see a highlight of the enemy across the wall. The unique VFX might have caused this as the glow was part of its animation. This “wallhack” was not intentionally done by Riot as part of its feature. It was simply an error on their part.
Mystbloom bundle features skins for Sheriff, Judge, Phantom, Operator, and Kunai as its melee. Each gun costs 2175VP while the knife costs 4350VP. Mystbloom Knife boasts a unique inspect animation that is similar to Jett’s Kunai from Valorant GO! and VCT Champions 2023 Kunai with a twist. The new Kunai spins, unlike the previous releases.
AverageJonas took to Twitter and confirmed the Mystbloom bug. Riot’s Game Developer was quick to respond and informed fans that this was not intended.
“Sorry, Jonas! You know we wanna make cool skins but pay-to-win isn't acceptable or intentional. We didn't catch this, but appreciate the community helped us find this. We’re fixing this bug now and will push out a fix soon,” Riot’s Game Developer posted.
If you are considering buying the new bundle just for this advantage, think twice because this bug will be gone soon. Expect a new update addressing this bug because it looks like that it’s now on Riot’s high priority list.
