Pride Month has begun and is being celebrated across the world. In addition to this, various game publishers have also introduced Pride-themed content in the game that players can grab for free. Similarly, Riot has also brought back the Prime Bundle in Valorant, which is available in the store and features the Pride player cards, titles, and gun buddies.
However, players have shown disappointment as there is nothing new in the bundle except the Proud and Fierce Title. The discussion started when ARIANARCHIST, a pro-Valorant player, reshared one of their previous tweets that read, "Hoping that this pride month we get a different gunbuddy than the quick rainbow reskin of the default coin we had last year."
y'all could've modeled this in blender in an evening I am so dissapointed

The player showed their disappointment and "begged" Riot to "hire someone in the diversity department"
Melanie "mel" Hoi-San Man, a reputed Valorant matches observer, replied to the tweet saying, "Don't we already have these?"

Similarly, a lot of other users agreed to this as one of them said, "i was expecting at least raze and kj card but… yeah i don’t think it would be that hard to create."

Ain't no way they said "eh just add a title" how are you gonna let overwatch do better than youuuu
Players are criticizing Riot for the lack of effort, and it would have been great to see something new and unique added to the game for players, like a new gun buddy with a different shape or player cards with new designs.
However, if you are new to the game and don't own the Valorant Pride Bundle, you can claim it for 0 VP from the store till June 27.
Don’t pass up your chance to play with PRIDE. Pick up the bundle, including the new “Proud and Fierce” title, completely free. Leaves JUNE 27. pic.twitter.com/whJt1Vhybt
