The VALORANT skin scene is about to get a massive shake-up. The Holo Meridian bundle has officially leaked, and it is set to hit the in-game store this Thursday, April 16, 2026.
If the early data-mining is any indication, we are looking at a full Premium – potentially even Exclusive – tier bundle that combines some of the most popular design elements in the game’s history. Here is everything you need to know about the weapons, the melee, and the price point.
Holo Meridian Bundle Contents
Riot is hitting all the meta-defining weapons with this drop. The bundle is confirmed to include:
- Vandal
- Operator
- Sheriff
- Judge
- Holo Flare Melee (Karambit)
The Vandal: Reaver 3.0 Vibes?
The biggest talking point among leakers is the silhouette of the new Vandal. Early images suggest a design very similar to the legendary Reaver Vandal. This has sparked a massive debate in the community: is this a spiritual successor to the Reaver line, or is there a hidden variant system we haven’t seen yet? Either way, the “dark and edgy” aesthetic is back in full force.
The Holo Flare Karambit
The “big win” for this bundle is the Holo Flare Melee. Rumored to be a Karambit-style knife, this is not your average filler melee.
- Price: Expected individual cost of 4,350 VP.
- Upgrades: Two full upgrade levels with custom animations and a unique inspect.
- Variants: Four color variants to match your weapon skins.
Pricing and Customization
This is a high-value set positioned squarely in the Premium category. Each individual weapon skin is expected to cost 2,175 VP.
| Feature | Details |
| Total Bundle Price | ~8,700 VP |
| Upgrade Levels | 4 (VFX, SFX, Animations, Finisher) |
| Variants | 4 (Holographic shifts) |
| Finisher | Unique “Meridian” Custom Finisher |
With a new patch scheduled to drop tomorrow, we are only hours away from seeing the full gameplay animations and the final version of the finisher. Given the Premium price tag and the Karambit melee, this is shaping up to be one of the most successful drops of 2026 so far.
FAQ: Holo Meridian Bundle
When does the Holo Meridian bundle release? The bundle is expected to go live in the store on Thursday, April 16, 2026, following the regional store rotations.
Is there a finisher? Yes. Since the weapons cost 2,175 VP each, they are confirmed to have a full set of upgrades, including a unique finisher and custom sound effects.
Should I buy the Karambit individually? At 4,350 VP, the melee is expensive. However, if you plan on buying at least two other weapon skins, the full bundle (8,700 VP) is usually much better value as the melee is typically included for “free” in the set price.
