Does the Night Market Refresh?
The VALORANT Night Market does not refresh on a daily basis. Once you enter the Night Market, you'll find six randomly selected skins for purchase, which remain fixed for the event's duration. If you buy a skin, it will be removed from your options, but no new skin will replace it.
This limited-time event generally lasts around two weeks and occurs after each Act in the game. During this period, players can purchase discounted skins, but cannot reroll or refresh the selection. To see new offerings, you’ll need to wait for the next Night Market event.
What is the VALORANT Night Market?
The VALORANT Night Market is a unique in-game event that allows players to purchase weapon skins at discounted rates. Debuting in Episode 1, Act 3, this event provides an alternative to the standard store selections, offering a special array of skins tailored to each player.
Key Features:
- Randomized Offers: Each Night Market showcases six randomly chosen weapon skins, customized for every account. Discounts range from 10% to 49% off their usual prices.
- Limited Time Availability: The Night Market is available for a short duration, usually around two weeks. Once the event ends, the skins remain unchanged until the next Night Market.
- Skin Eligibility: The market features skins from Select, Deluxe, or Premium editions, along with most knife skins in these tiers. Skins priced above 1,775 VP and certain exclusive items are not included.
- Accessing the Market: The Night Market icon appears in the top right corner of the screen during the event. Clicking on this icon reveals six cards, each displaying a different skin.
- The Night Market is eagerly awaited by the VALORANT community, offering a chance to snag favorite skins at reduced prices and adding excitement to each Act.
Steps to Enter the Marketplace in Valorant
- When the event launches, open Valorant to access the Market.
- Find and click on the card icon in the upper right corner of your screen.
- You'll be shown six mystery cards featuring different skins.
- Click on each card to view the discounted Market skins and their reduced prices.
When is VALORANT’s Next Night Market?
The upcoming VALORANT Night Market is set to run from August 15 to August 27, 2024, with its official start at 5 PM PDT (8 PM EDT, 1 AM BST on August 16). This Night Market will occur just before the conclusion of Episode 9, Act 1, giving players a chance to snag discounted skins during this exclusive event.
How Does Valorant’s Night Market Work?
When the Night Market opens, a black rectangular box will appear at the top-right corner of the screen. Click on it to unveil six color-coded cards, each concealing a gun or knife skin along with its discounted price. Interact with these cards to discover the deals you’ve unlocked.
Unlike the Daily Store, which features skins at their standard prices, the Night Market offers discounts ranging from 10% to 49%. Keep in mind that the discounts may vary and might not always meet your expectations. Each player experiences a unique Night Market tailored to them.
You can identify the type of skin behind each card by its color: blue indicates Select Edition gun skins, green denotes Deluxe Edition gun skins, pink represents Premium Edition gun skins, and yellow signifies melee skins.
