Valorant's bi-weekly update is almost out with v2.05 bringing with it such much-needed improvements to the AFK and chat ban system work, as well as introducing the first set of Agent specific keybinds, in this case, for Sova and Astra.
Along with that, and thanks to the team at HITSCAN, we have a look at a new weapon bundle that will be released alongside or shortly after the patch drops the Infantry skin collection.
This is quite unlike anything we have seen before. Valorant's weapon skins have kept things quite colourful, futuristic in tone, and generally of the world that Valorant is set in.
This Infantry collection is much more grounded in our world, and specifically World War Two, with skins for the Ares, Operator, Guardian, that look more like an MG34, a Moisin Nagant and an M1 Carbine.

The complete collection contains:
- Classic
- Spectre
- Ares
- Operator
- Guardian
There is no clue yet if there will be a variant or melee/knife included in the collection.
When does the Infantry skin collection come out?
There is no official word on when the Infantry skin collection will come out but news of its existence was fed to some ITKs along with information about the Valorant v2.05 which is scheduled for release around midnight on the 16th March in the US and the morning of the 17th for Europe.
ValorLeaks, a prominent leaker within the community, claims it will be released on the 18th of March.
How much will it cost?
Again there is no official pricing but according to leaks individual skins will cost 875 VP with the bundle coming in at 3,500 VP.
