Here's how to attach a gun buddy to rare Valorant Champions 2024 knife

Fariha Bhatti Published 01/08/2024

Valorant Champions 2024 is arriving soon, and players can’t wait to equip the first knife that can carry a gun buddy. But how exactly to do that?

Each year, Riot rolls out a shiny new time-limited bundle to Valorant to celebrate VCT. This bundle is so rare that only those who purchase it during its uptime will only ever own one. It doesn’t rotate in the market, and you can’t buy it at a cut price from the Night. Market. Like every year, 50% of proceeds from the VCT 2024 bundle are shared amongst the 44 teams.

Every VCT bundle is special, but this year’s collection is a class apart for a small detail. For the first time ever, you can hang a gun buddy on a Valorant melee.

How to attach gun buddy to Champions 2024 knife

Whatever gun buddy you have equipped on the Champions Phantom will automatically show on the new Katana.

You can’t customize the weapon jewelry on the Champions 2024 knife from the inventory like other weapons. Instead, you first need to max out levels on both Katana and Phantom and then equip a gun buddy of your choice to the Champion Phantom. Now, go back into the game and inspect the knife, which should now have a charm hanging from the handle.

Champions 2024 price and release date

Valorant Champions 2024 bundle will be released on August 1, and will cost 6,167 Valorant Points for two weapons and three side items.  

Players can buy just the Phantom or the Katana separately by paying 2,675 VP and 5,350 VP, respectively. But that means you won’t be able to enjoy the gun buddy gimmick on the knife, as it won’t work without the Champions Phantom. Other cheap items in the bundle are:

• Gun buddy: 475 VP
• Player card: 375 VP
• Spray: 325 VP
