With Patch 10.05, Riot Games has introduced a brand-new cosmetic collection, the Storm Maw Bundle, bringing a sleek and fierce look to some of the game’s most-played weapons. If you’ve been eyeing a fresh aesthetic upgrade in VALORANT, here’s everything you need to know about this latest bundle.
What is the Storm Maw Bundle in VALORANT?
The Storm Maw Bundle is the latest skin line to hit VALORANT, introduced in the March update (Patch 10.05). Each skin bundle in VALORANT usually follows a distinct theme—Storm Maw’s concept draws inspiration from wolves, with detailed artwork featuring snarling wolves integrated into the weapon designs. The melee, known as the Storm Maw Axe, also boasts a refractive effect during its inspection animation, making it visually stand out despite lacking premium-level enhancements.
Weapons Included in the Storm Maw Bundle
This mid-tier collection doesn’t come with flashy finisher animations or special sound effects, but the visuals are clean and striking. The bundle includes:
- Classic
- Stinger
- Judge
- Vandal
- Storm Maw Axe (melee)
While it may not be as dynamic as Ultra or Exclusive-tier skins like Oni or Reaver, Storm Maw is still an appealing addition for collectors and fans of thematic designs.
Price of the Storm Maw Bundle
The full Storm Maw Bundle costs 3,500 VALORANT Points (VP). Players can also purchase each item individually:
- Individual Gun Skins: 875 VP each
- Storm Maw Axe: 1,750 VP
Please note: this bundle does not include any additional cosmetics like gun buddies, sprays, or player cards, which is often the case with more premium bundles.
Trivia & Thematic Notes
Interestingly, the wolf motif in Storm Maw bears a strong resemblance to the branding of BOOM Esports, a team competing in the VCT Pacific League. Whether intentional or coincidental, fans of the team may find the aesthetic especially appealing.
Final Thoughts
Storm Maw offers a clean, thematic bundle at a reasonable price point. While it lacks the flashy upgrades of higher-tier skins, the strong visual identity and sleek melee make it a solid option for players looking to refresh their arsenal. Keep an eye out for it in the store rotation, and remember, cosmetic content rotates quickly in VALORANT, so don’t wait too long if you’re interested.
And if you’re following the Esports World Cup, Riot recently revealed that 16 top VALORANT teams from across the globe will compete, adding more hype to an already packed season.
