Araxys Skin Bundle: Price
You will be able to purchase the entire Araxys collection for 8700 Valorant Points, and it will be an Exclusive Edition bundle. That said, the prices are expected to vary between 2175-2675 Valorant Points per gun, and 4350-5350 Valorant Points for the Melee weapon.
Araxys Skin Bundle: Is It Worth It?
So, we think that Araxys is a great bundle, and honestly, we consider it one of the best bundles released in the past few months. However, it's very niche with its design, plus it's still quite expensive, so it's all up to your preferences and budget at the end of the day. Still, if you value the futuristic aesthetics, this might be your go-to bundle, especially for the Vandal and Melee skins.
