Why Don’t VALORANT Knife Skins Have Finishers?
Have you ever wondered why knife skins in VALORANT don’t have a finisher? Well, players have some valid answers for that.
Community Discussion Sheds Light on the Issue
A Reddit user named u/PaperBagBoy0299 recently brought up this question, and players took the opportunity to share their thoughts on October 15th.
Riot Games’ Reasoning
The most popular theory is that Riot Games doesn’t want players to throw rounds by going for knife kills just to see “cool animations.” They want to prevent players from being incentivized to make risky decisions that could negatively impact the game.
Comparisons to Counter-Strike
Some players pointed out that knife kills in Counter-Strike reward players with extra cash, suggesting that VALORANT should adopt a similar approach. However, it’s important to note that VALORANT is a different game with its own gameplay dynamics and balance considerations.
The Value of Knife Skins
When knife skins in VALORANT are priced at over $80, players expect them to offer the same features as gun skins. It’s the perception of value that makes players question why there are no finishers for knife skins.
Some players even accused Riot Games of saving the idea of knife finishers for future bundles, hoping to generate more revenue. However, this is just speculation and there is no evidence to support this claim.
In the end, while it’s true that Riot Games has been recycling ideas for weapon skins, it remains to be seen if they will introduce knife finishers in the future. But even then, many players would still be willing to pay for them.
