Every now and then, the developers of VALORANT surprise us with several new skins for its large arsenal of weapons, which have become one of the most awaited novelties with the release of each patch.

But just as there are examples of collections that transcended to be the most sought-after in Riot Games' shooter, we also have many other examples that were highly criticized both for their design and for their excessive cost in the in-game store.


This skin, known in-game as "Kunitsuna Onimaru" received a lot of criticism for various reasons. The main one was its high cost as it was released with a price of 5,350 VALORANT Points or US$56, which places it as the third most expensive skin in the entire game, only surpassed by the ones released during the VCT events.

While the design of this weapon may justify its price, its presentation, and animations came with many serious errors, which, according to veteran players, can affect gameplay by revealing the position of the weapons when they are brought into combat.

Some players have been giving their different perspectives regarding this situation, and while many think that paying a high cost for such a unique aspect and getting a disadvantage like this is somewhat unfair, others think that it has a disadvantage that in a very specific and unlikely situation can happen so it really wouldn't be causing any problems as everyone expects.

It will now be a matter of days to find out if this new skin for the melee weapon will be able to coexist among the higher ranks of the game, or if its unique and revealing appearance brings disadvantages for it to be a viable option as it has happened in other different titles as well.

What do you think about this new katana? Is it bringing a big disadvantage into the game? Let us know in the comments!
