The VALORANT Night Market is Back: Everything You Need to Know for V26 Act 5
The wait is finally over for tactical shooter fans. The fan-favorite VALORANT Night Market is officially making its comeback for V26 Act 5. Beginning on September 22 at 05:00 PM PST, players will have the opportunity to reveal their personalized collection of discounted cosmetics in VALORANT.
Understanding the Night Market Mechanics
For those who prioritize aesthetics alongside their aim, the Night Market serves as a recurring highlight of the seasonal cycle. As each Act draws to a close, the game generates a unique storefront for every individual player. This curated shop features six randomized weapon skins, all offered at a reduced price point.
Think of the Night Market as a digital clearance sale tailored specifically to your account’s history. While the standard store rotates daily for everyone, this event provides a bespoke selection that remains static for the duration of the event, giving you ample time to decide if a particular skin is worth the investment.
What to Expect: Tiers and Limitations
The discounts available during this event are significant, typically fluctuating between 10% and 49% off the original Valorant Points (VP) cost. The pool of available items is generally restricted to the Select, Deluxe, and Premium tiers, ensuring that players can often snag high-quality designs without paying full price.
However, it is important to manage expectations regarding the inventory. The system excludes the most prestigious items, specifically:
- Exclusive and Ultra Tier Skins: These high-end collections remain outside the scope of the Night Market.
- Premium Melee Weapons: Any melee skin with a base price exceeding 4350 VP is ineligible for these discounts.
- Progression Items: You will not find Battle Pass rewards or specific Agent Gear skins in your randomized draw.
With millions of active players logging in during these windows, the Night Market remains one of the most effective ways for Riot Games to drive engagement. Whether you are looking to complete a specific collection or simply want a fresh look for your Vandal or Phantom, this event is the perfect time to refresh your loadout.
