RGX 11Z PRO Blade

EP 3: Reflection, Act 2 · October 6, 2021 · 4,350 VP. The first katana melee in VALORANT history. Inspired by high end gaming hardware, the entire RGX 11z Pro line was designed to capture the feeling of playing on a powerful custom PC rig for the first time. Art Lead Kerwin Atienza wrote that "there is a gamer in every Valorant player. Our aim is to unleash that gamer within and for them to express themselves through this skinline. We wanted to capture that same feeling the first time they got their hands to play in that glorious power packed custom PC rig with the latest video card and gaming peripherals. That same feeling of prestige and bragging rights knowing you have the best in class right at your fingertips." The Blade starts at level 1 as a compact futuristic dagger, but upgrading to level 2 extends it into a full katana on equip, making it the first melee in VALORANT with a transforming animation between a short and long weapon. The skin features LED lights along the blade that change color on inspect, translucent panels showing inner mechanical components, and 4 color variants (green, blue, red, yellow). The RGX 11z Pro line also introduced several firsts for VALORANT: a per round kill counter on weapon skins (which displays "EZ" at round end before resetting), emissive wall hit decals that match your equipped LED color, and reactive gun buddies that respond when firing. The community quickly nicknamed the entire line "the Cyberpunk skins." The bundle was part of the same patch (3.07) that dropped alongside Episode 3 Act 2.
