VALORANT leans into Counter-Strike with new skins as both games continue to trade features before CS2

VALORANT has always built its marketing on distinguishing itself from Counter-Strike, but its most recently-announced bundle immediately drew attention to how much the skins really do look like some Counter-Strike‘s most iconic weapons.

After the bundle initially leaked online, Riot officially announced the Black Market bundle, featuring skins for the Bulldog, Vandal, Marshal, Classic, and Butterfly Knife Melee that have unique appearances depending on whether the player is on the defender or attacker side. But the aspect of the new bundle that garnered the most attention is the striking similarity to original Counter-Strike weapons currently found in CS:GO.
