Valorant skins are expensive, but Riot Games is confident enough in the designs to accept refunds if you don’t like what you purchased.
Some
Valorant skins
are relatively affordable, but the good ones can cost an arm and a leg. Riot charges for in-game sound elements, variants, VFX, kill banners, and more.
Weapon skins don’t necessarily improve gameplay, but players often find that some aspects of a skin feels off. It could be the sound element, weight, and just distracting animations. These are the things that can’t be weighed from a short trailer.
Fortunately, there’s always an option to refund a skin in Valorant, but a few conditions apply. First of all, only items purchased within the last 14 days are eligible for a refund. Secondly, your skin should be untouched and unused. Meaning no upgrades and variants should be unlocked. Lastly, the item should not be in Riot’s list of non-refundable cosmetics, which is as follows.
Used Weapon Skins
Upgraded Weapon Skins
Used In-Game Content (Gun Buddies, Player Cards, etc.)
Character Contract Levels
Weapon Skin Levels
Weapon Skin Bundles
Premium Battle Passes
Premium Battle Pass Levels
Radianite Points
