Night Market VALORANT

Night Market is the Christmas of VALORANT, and what is better is it doesn’t happen only one time every year but a couple of times to keep the community happy. When it arrives, players rush to the game to see which skins they can get at a discounted price. Today, we will cover everything you need to know about Night Market in VALORANT. If you want to know what it is, how it works, and when is the next Night Market, keep reading!

What is Night Market in VALORANT?

The VALORANT Night Market is a store that appears randomly in the game once during each Act. It offers six different gun skins at lower prices. It's important to note that the skins are chosen randomly. However, because of strong criticism of the first version in December 2020, Riot added a guarantee to prevent disappointment. This means that you will probably get a high-tier skin, but it will still cost more than others, as even with discounts, some skins are worth too much, including the new VALORANT skins.

Players will receive offers for six randomly selected weapon skins with discounts ranging from 10% to 49% each time a new Night Market is created. Each player receives a different set of offers. Each set of deals is only accessible for a brief period of time and is only given to players once every Night Market.

You might get any gun skins classified as Select, Deluxe, or Premium Edition, as well as most knife skins related to these edition tiers. Additionally, eligible skins had to have been made available in stores at least two acts before the Night Market officially launched.

You won’t get Gear skins, free Battle Pass skins, Tactical Knifes worth more than 3,550 VP, and any knife included in a skin collection classified as one of these editions, as well as any gun skins classified as Exclusive Exclusive or Ultra Ultra Edition.

Knife skins or Premium Edition gun skins will be included in at least two of the deals. Unless this restriction prevents the player from receiving six offers, a Night Market cannot offer more than two skins for a given type of weapon.

When is the next Night Market?

You can purchase the best VALORANT skins at a discount when each Night Market opens once per Act. This means that the next Night Market will start with the next Act. Riot Games announce three acts in each episode, and last year, in 2022, we had six acts, which means six different Night Markets.

How many Night Markets come out in a year?

In one year, two big story parts in Valorant are called Episodes. Each Episode has three Acts. When a new Act starts, it's time for a fresh Night Market. So, in one year, we get six of these Night Markets. That means six chances to grab those cool skins you've had your eyes on.

How often is the Night Market?

Usually, it comes around once in every Act. Every Act gets a Night Market. That's cool because it's more predictable, and we all like good surprises. So, you can kind of expect the Night Market to pop up every two months. When the game's clock says two months have passed, it's time to get excited for the Night Market again. It's like a regular thing now, and that's pretty awesome!

Which skins can you get in the Night Market?

During each Night Market, players get six random weapon skin offers at discounts from 10% to 49%. These offers are unique to each player and don’t change once they appear. The skins come from collections that were released at least two acts before the current Night Market. The skins available are mostly from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium editions. Knife skins that cost up to 3,550 VALORANT Points are also included. The market typically features at least two knife skins or Premium edition gun skins. However, skins from the Gear, Battle Pass, Exclusive, or Ultra collections are not available.

Eligible collections

• Players can find skins from various collections in the Night Market, such as:
• Select Edition: Includes collections like Luxe, Prism II, and Galleria.
• Deluxe Edition: Features skins from collections like Horizon, Avalanche, and Sakura.
• Premium Edition: Offers detailed skins from collections like Reaver, Oni, and Prime.

Each new act introduces new collections to the Night Market. For instance, the Deluxe Aperture collection will be available at the beginning of EP 10 Act 1.

How to check my Night Market

You can locate the Night Market on the top right side of the Valorant game screen when it's available. Look for a small sparkling card symbol. Just click on it, and you'll get access to discounted items. Flip the cards to see which skin is on sale and the discount percentage. The background color of the card and the shape at the bottom right corner show the skin's tier.

However, please remember that Night Market only appears a couple of times a year, so you won’t be able to get these discounts any time you want. Whenever the event ends, the Night Market symbol in the game will disappear, and you won’t be able to get the skins at that price. Besides, there is also a stone possibility that you won’t be able to get those skins at their full price, too, as you will have to wait for them to appear in your store.
