Explaining the Valorant Night Market

The Valorant Night Market is a secondary skin shop that only appears once every few months. It typically lasts for about two weeks. However, it has lasted for about a month on a couple of special occasions, specifically on December 2020 and December 2022.

The first Valorant Night Market lasted from December 10, 2020, to January 11, 2021, during Episode 1, Act 3. It’s also the longest time that the Night Market was available at a whopping 32 days. The main reason why the Night Market is such an awaited and special shop is that it offers some discounted skins. It gives you a total of six random skins that are primarily from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium Collections. This also includes most knife skins within each Collection.

All six skins will randomly be offered at discounted prices ranging from as low as a 10% discount to as high as a 49% discount. As a rule of thumb, all skins available in the Valorant Night Market have all been released in the Valorant Store for at least 2 acts before being eligible to join the Night Market skin pool. Luckily, the Night Market visits everyone regardless if you’re Iron, Platinum, or Radiant. Everyone has a fair chance of getting discounted skins.
