VALORANT Patch 13.05 is shaping up to be a massive update for cosmetic collectors, bringing back fan-favorite skins in a brand-new “Run It Back” bundle. However, with rumors of the Night Market returning and Champions 2026 right around the corner, you might want to hold onto your VALORANT Points (VP) before making an impulse purchase.
Here is a complete breakdown of the upcoming store updates and why patience might save your wallet.
The New “Run It Back” Bundle Details
The upcoming 13.05 update is expected to introduce a new iteration of the “Run It Back” collection, which packages highly sought-after premium skins from past releases.
This specific bundle is leaked to include three incredibly popular skins:
- Elderflame Operator (2,475 VP)
- Singularity Sheriff (2,175 VP)
- RGX 11z Pro Vandal (2,175 VP)
The total price of this collection is estimated to be between 4,800 and 5,100 VP. It is crucial to remember that these “Run It Back” skins can only be purchased as a complete bundle; they cannot be bought individually from the collection page.
However, Riot Games applies a prorated discount for these collections. For example, if you already own the RGX Vandal, its cost will be entirely deducted from the final bundle price, meaning you only pay for the skins you do not currently own.
Why You Should Wait: Night Market & Champions 2026
While the Run It Back bundle is tempting, spending upwards of 5,000 VP right now is a massive risk.
The Night Market: Rumors suggest the next Night Market will be arriving as early as next week. The Night Market offers six randomized, heavily discounted weapon skins (including premium tiers like Reaver, Prime, and Gaia’s Vengeance) and melees. It is highly recommended to wait and reveal your Night Market cards before committing to the Run It Back bundle to see if you pull a better deal.
Champions 2026: Beyond the Night Market, the highly anticipated Champions 2026 bundle is expected to be released around September 23rd. Champions bundles are historically limited-edition and never return to the daily store or Night Market. If you are a dedicated collector, saving your VP for the exclusive Champions aura and finisher is usually the smarter investment.
