Laura Baltzer, a producer at Riot Games said on the VCT broadcast that when we were designing the Champions 2022 weapons, we wanted to give players a skin with the same feeling as last year like something aspirational and bold, that lets you flex and show off your skill whether you’re popping off in ranked or dropping 30.

Valorant Champions 2022

The people who buy the Valorant Champions bundle 2022 will be contributing to the income split, in which half of the revenue will be distributed accordingly among the 16 taking part groups in Champions. Riot Games gathered US$18.72 million from the 2021 VALORANT Champions group. The members' part of the income from the bundle was then equally distributed among each association, adding up to US$585,000.

Valorant Champions 2022 bundle skins

This year's Champion bundle contains a Phantom skin that complements the Vandal skin from the previous year's bundle, a Butterfly Knife, Trophy Card, Buddy, and Spray.

Phantom skin

Phantom is the only gun skin featured in this bundle. The Phantom has a custom red muzzle flash in the shape of the VCT spark logo. It plays the Champion’s 2022 anthem when examined, and more. there is an on-kill effect that appears after every kill. Riot games claimed that the progressive kill effect was one of the most challenging work for them and they spent almost a year to make this because without this the Champions Aura wouldn't have felt complete. There is also a finisher and kill banner and Phantom shows a gold glowing outline when the player has the most kills in the game. After every five kills, the design of the gun evolves and it maxes out at 25 kills.

Butterfly Knife

The butterfly knife is a melee weapon and it has a special easter egg that activates when the player will have not less than 25 kills and is top fragging. the melee glows like the Phantom when the player has the most kills in the game and after every 5 kills the design evolves and maxes out at 25 kills. At the point when the player has 25 kills as well as the most kills in the game, they have a inspect animation that personifies what it means to be a champion.
