After the release of Valorant in 2020, there were a lot of requests for cosmetics from gamers. Skins help customize a character and his ammunition, stand out from the crowd, and show the public your style on the battlefield. Developers gradually began to introduce a number of decorations in the gameplay, releasing sets that contained different types of weapons – for ranged and close combat, sniper rifles, and knives. You can buy the whole set at once or one skin at a time, whichever is more convenient.

The Valorant butterfly knife is the most notable item in the collection. This is a tactical bladed weapon for close combat. It is usually used in cases where there is no access to firearms. The selection of skins for this item is not as wide as the one offered in other games like CS:GO or LOL but each of them has its own story, character, and unique design, which is highly valued by the players.

Brief Information About Butterfly Knife

The butterfly knife, like other types of knives, is a close-combat tactical weapon. It is used as an alternative option to kill the enemy. Its main characteristics are:

• blade length – 46.59 cm (18.4 in.);
• kill radius – 0 to 8 m (3.3 to 26.3 ft.);
• front damage – 50/75;
• rear damage – 100/150.

Killing with a knife brings the same number of points as any other. Regardless of the type of skin, the same value of damage and points are earned.

All Butterfly Knife Skins

As of today, the collection of skins for all knives, including butterfly one, is not as extensive as gamers would like it to be. There are about 70 skins with original design, animation, and light-and-sound special effects. However, the game is developing and the demands of users are a priority. Therefore, cosmetics are constantly being added to the official store. The launch of each set is accompanied by a high-profile release, so all interested gamers are sure to be aware of the new butterfly knife valorant. 

As far as the question of how much is the butterfly knife in valorant, there are four different collections to choose from. They are offered by different developers, so they have different shapes, designs, and features, thus, different prices as well. Let’s take a closer look at them.

Recon Balisong

The series by Riot Games was released in August 2021. It belongs to the premium class, so the cost of the whole set is 7,100 VP. The knife skin will cost the gamer 3,550 VP. It is made in a militaristic style, which features green and black shades. Players are offered the capability to unlock randomly multiple levels where the lower and side mounts change. Skin upgrades are also available for game points. When examined, the knife rotates, and you can examine every detail from different angles.

Recon Balisong has two levels:

• The regular one.
• The level enhanced with animation and sound effects.
• The color palette features blue, red, and green.

Champion Butterfly Knife

The skins in this series are designed to coincide with champion tournaments, so they are exclusive and time-limited for sale. The first collection, released in 2021, included a skin for the knife, but of a different type. No cosmetics were provided for the butterfly. 

However, that all changed with the release of a new line in August 2022. It was dedicated to the VCT finale. The developer did their best to present the best version ever released. The Champion 2022 skin looks great – the gold accents combined with ruby stones will be the gem of the inventory. 

The uniqueness of the skin is seen in everything. A gamer with such a butterfly will stand out from all the participants in the battle. The skin is complemented by a miniature easter egg, which appears only when the gamer is leading in the fragging and has committed at least 25 kills. At the same time, VFX occupies both hands of the character, which is unusual for the skin.

Here are the special features of the Champion butterfly knife:

• exclusivity – it was on sale only for a short period of time and is no longer available in the store. Only the luckiest players managed to grab the skin;
• properties – an eastern egg that is hidden in normal combat, which appears under certain circumstances;
• design – it is colorful and bright, sparkling with precious metals and gems;
• price – 5,350 VP, however, the high cost has not scared off those wishing to purchase such a unique skin.

Those who did not manage to buy Champion can try to find it on the external market.

RGX 11z Pro 2

The first version did not include the butterfly skins but the developers corrected the situation and soon released the Pro 2 line, where they added the Phantom and the butterfly knife. The kit became an immediate sales hit, as it stood out for its fresh design and unique features. The kit was introduced alongside the release of Valorant Act III Episode 4 in April 2022.

The skin is named Firefly and fully lives up to its special effects. When rotated, the knife shimmers in several shades, and animation is activated:

• Initial custom.
• Improved by the randomizer, with animation and lighting effects. 

Available colors include red, yellow, and blue, which should be randomly selected before being installed.

Yoru Butterfly Knife

Yoru was first seen in Episode 2 where the duelist brushed his hair with a stylish knife, which he then used to stab. Players couldn’t miss such an effect, and the developer accommodated the audience’s request.

The Yoru line features rich colors and smooth textures that make close-combat weapons less bulky and more appealing. The cheerful vibrant theme looks much more appealing than the austere and harsh Valoran. You can buy it in the store together with the whole set or apart.
