Who says you need to splurge to look good in Alpha and Omega Earth? VALORANT’s Night Market is back for Act 3 of Season 2025, offering players a chance to grab stylish weapon skins at deep discounts. This recurring event rolls around near the end of each Act, featuring six random skin offers with deals that can slash up to 49% off the original price. Ready to see what it has in store? Let’s break down how it works, what to expect, and how to make the most of it.
What is the VALORANT Night Market?
The Night Market is a limited-time pop-up shop where players can unlock six randomly selected weapon skins at exclusive discounts, ranging from 10% to 49% off. Each offer is unique, and you’ll only see one skin per weapon type, so there’s no chance of duplicates.
How the Night Market works
The current Night Market runs from June 5 to June 24, 2025, giving players nearly three weeks to browse and consider their offers. Once the Night Market opens, you’ll be able to flip six cards to reveal your discounted skins. Each of these comes from VALORANT’s pool of older content, as Riot only includes skins that are at least two Acts old. So, while you won’t find this Act’s latest Divergence bundle, there’s still a good chance you’ll come across something new or something you didn’t know you wanted.
The skin selection pulls from the Select, Deluxe, and Premium tiers. That means Ultra and Exclusive Edition skins won’t show up, and neither will Battle Pass rewards, Agent Contract skins, or knife skins priced above 3,550 VP. Still, with so many collections in VALORANT’s growing catalog, the Night Market remains a great way to pick up iconic cosmetics at a lower price.

How random is it?
The Night Market thrives on unpredictability, and that’s part of the fun. When you flip over those six cards, you never quite know what you’re going to get—whether it’s a long-lost favorite, a sleeper hit, or a skin you’ve never considered before. While the system is completely randomized, Riot has introduced a few safeguards to make sure the experience still feels fair.
One of the most appreciated changes is the Bad Luck Protection system. No matter how the cards fall, you’re guaranteed to receive at least two Premium-tier skins in every Night Market. This ensures that even if your lineup isn’t stacked with your top picks, you’ll still have some high-quality options worth considering.
It’s also worth noting that you can’t reroll your selection once it’s revealed. What you see is what you get, so it’s important to take your time, weigh your options, and only pull the trigger on a deal when you’re sure it’s the right one.
Tips to maximize your Night Market haul
If you’re new to VALORANT, here are some quick strategies to help you make the most of the Night Market!
- Set a budget and stick to it: Don’t let big discounts lure you into overspending. Decide how much VP you’re willing to spend ahead of time.
- Prioritize your favorite weapons: Look for skins for guns you love using. A discounted Bulldog is great but if you’re an OP guy, is it worth it?
- Think long-term value: Some skins are evergreen features for a reason. If you see a popular or limited skin at a good price, it might be your only shot for a while.
- Give it time: You’ve got a few weeks, so don’t rush! Sit with your options and decide what’s worth grabbing before the event ends.
Like a good clutch round, the Night Market rewards those who play it smart. With the right strategy, this event can be a great way to level up your arsenal without breaking the bank!
