How Does the Night Market Work? Explained
Valorant’s Night Market is a once-per-act weapon skin sale that randomly discounts six skins by various percentages. The Night Market that you receive will not refresh — you are stuck with the skins you have. After 12 days, the Night Market will disappear and will not return until the next Act (in about three months’ time) when you will get a totally different lineup, so make sure you pick up any skins you like before they return to full price.
As you’re able to see in the example above, you’ll also randomly be allocated skins of different rarity levels — ours was very lucky, indeed, with five purples and a legendary gold!
Unfortunately, you won’t always get such a great selection and oftentimes the skins aren’t going to be to your liking. Again, it’s totally random, as are the percentages of discount for each one.
Do note that your normal store rotation won’t ever include the skins in your Night Market, so you won’t have to worry about double-ups. If you’re getting bad skins then perhaps it’s because you’ve bought all the good ones!
