Valorant’s new military-themed Recon skin bundle is all set to arrive in stores on August 24, 2021, along with patch 3.04.

Developers have always put in efforts to bring up new weapon skins for the Valorant players. The weapon skins are well-crafted with animated visuals and finisher effects. Most of them have a fancy-themed effect, but the Recon skin line will bring a more realistic feel to the players in Valorant. It is the second military-themed Valorant weapon skin bundle after Infantry, which was introduced in Patch 2.05.

In Patch 3.03, Riot Games recycled the old Sakura Skin Bundle as no new skin was released. Thus, after a long wait, Valorant players will finally receive a new weapon skin bundle with a modern shooter and a more realistic theme.

Moreover, the Butterfly Knife is one of the key highlights of the bundle, as many Valorant fans were demanding it for a long time. Now that the developers have heard the community's demands, the Recon skin bundle is all set to bring the Butterfly Knife to Valorant. Here is everything you need to know about new Valorant Recon skin bundle.
