Revenue Distribution

Riot Games has announced that the revenue generated from the bundle will be split equally between Riot and the 30 teams participating in the LOCK//IN tournament. This ensures that both the developer and the teams benefit from this exciting release.

Misericórdia Melee Variants

The Misericórdia melee weapon will be available in four different variants, each representing a specific region. The green variant represents the Americas region, the blue variant represents the Pacific region, the purple variant represents the EMEA region, and the red variant represents the VALORANT Champions Tour colorway.

Unique Animation and Design

The upgraded Misericórdia melee features an animation similar to the Xenohunter knife, with a stunning glow along the middle of the blade. The weapon has a slender body and a sharp blade, resembling a Stiletto knife. A special feature of the Misericórdia is the illuminated VCT logo on the handle, which lights up when the weapon is upgraded.

The LOCK//IN capsule is a celebration of the upcoming LOCK//IN tournament, which marks the start of the 2023 VCT season. The tournament will take place in São Paulo and will feature all 30 partnered teams from the Americas, EMEA, and Pacific regions, as selected by Riot Games.
