Riot Games have launched the Rogue bundle in VALORANT today, 26 May 2026, headlined by the first Push Dagger melee weapon to ship in the game. The full collection sits on the store at 8,700 VP and pairs four firearm skins with a dual-wield melee that draws an immediate visual line to Counter-Strike 2’s Shadow Daggers. Individual guns cost 2,175 VP each, while the Push Dagger Melee carries a 4,350 VP standalone price for players who only want the standout piece.
The Rogue skinline leans into a dark-metal tactical aesthetic. Black metal finishes, sharp angular silhouettes, and glowing red accent lights run through every weapon in the set, marking a clear shift away from the brighter, more stylised drops Riot have shipped through the first half of 2026.
What’s Inside The Rogue Bundle
The Rogue bundle covers five items in total. Four weapon skins sit alongside the headline Push Dagger Melee, with the gun lineup made up of the Vandal, Bucky, Operator, and Bandit. The Push Dagger is the standout draw and the main reason the bundle is generating attention ahead of the late-May store rotation.
| Item | Price (VP) |
|---|---|
| Vandal | 2,175 |
| Bucky | 2,175 |
| Operator | 2,175 |
| Bandit | 2,175 |
| Push Dagger Melee | 4,350 |
| Full Bundle | 8,700 |
Bought separately, the five items total 13,050 VP. The 8,700 VP bundle price puts the saving at 4,350 VP over the sum of the individual purchases, which is the equivalent of receiving the Push Dagger melee at no extra cost when committing to the full collection.
Push Dagger Melee Marks A VALORANT First
The Push Dagger is the first weapon of its kind in VALORANT and breaks from the single-blade and long-handled silhouettes the game has carried since launch. The design uses a dual-wield format, with one blade held in each hand, that maps closely to the Shadow Daggers introduced in Counter-Strike 2. The tactical visual language wrapped around the rest of the Rogue collection reinforces the comparison, with the same dark metal finish and angular linework running across the firearms.
The dual-wield format also shifts the on-screen profile of inspect and equip animations. Most VALORANT melee skins lift a single blade through a flourish, but the Push Dagger keeps both hands occupied, giving the equip and kill animations a tighter, close-quarters cadence that fits the Rogue identity. Players who run the melee in clutch rounds will see the dual-blade silhouette appear on the kill cam, a moment Riot have leaned on in previous bundle trailers to sell a collection’s standout piece.
The 4,350 VP standalone price slots the Push Dagger at the top of VALORANT’s standard melee tier, in line with previous premium melee releases. Standard knife skins released in earlier bundles have run at the same 4,350 VP figure, so the Push Dagger does not carry a Premium Edition or Exclusive Edition price uplift despite being the first dual-wield piece in the game.
The animation cadence is the part players will judge first. Inspect animations, kill cam frames, and the equip motion are the three touchpoints that have historically driven the conversation around new VALORANT melee releases, and the dual-wield format gives Riot more on-screen surface area to work with than any prior single-blade design.
Rogue Bundle Pricing And VP Breakdown
The 8,700 VP price tag places the Rogue bundle in VALORANT’s premium skinline tier. The math works out cleanly. Four guns at 2,175 VP each total exactly 8,700 VP, which means the full-bundle buyer effectively pockets the 4,350 VP Push Dagger as a saving over piecemeal purchases.
Riot have not announced a discount window or any Battle Pass cross-promotion attached to the Rogue collection. The store listing reflects the standard full-price model used for premium VALORANT bundles, with each item also available as a separate purchase at the listed VP price for players who only want one or two pieces. Anyone targeting just the melee can clear the 4,350 VP standalone price without committing to the rest of the collection.
The Rogue Aesthetic And Colour Variants
The Rogue collection lands on a dark, tactical silhouette across all five pieces. Each item ships with a black metal finish, sharp angular contours, and glowing red accent lights threaded through the chassis. The design language reads closer to a black-ops kit than a fantasy reskin, which is a deliberate departure from the more ornate or stylised drops Riot have shipped in recent months.
The collection also includes multiple colour variants unlocked through the standard skin progression system. The default look pairs red and black, with additional finishes shifting the accent palette to blue and white as well as green and orange. The variant slots swap the lighting tone without changing the underlying angular form of the skin, keeping the Rogue identity consistent across all of the colour options.
The tactical framing also pulls visual cues from real-world breaching kits, with the angular line of the Vandal stock and the slab profile of the Operator’s barrel reinforcing the dark-metal silhouette. Riot’s design team have leaned into restrained, functional shapes through the 2026 cycle, and the Rogue collection slots into that pattern rather than pushing the elaborate VFX flourishes that defined earlier premium tiers like Reaver or Champions.

Rogue Bundle Release Time And Store Window
The Rogue bundle is live in the in-game store from today, 26 May 2026, sitting in the Featured row alongside the rotating premium offers. VALORANT bundles typically cycle through the Featured slot before rotating into the standard skin pool, although Riot have not confirmed a specific exit date for the Rogue collection. Players who only want a single item from the set can pick pieces individually at the listed VP prices, with no requirement to buy the bundle first.
The Push Dagger remains available as a 4,350 VP standalone purchase for the duration of the bundle’s store window. Players who hold off on the full bundle and pick the melee on its own keep the option of grabbing individual firearm skins later in the rotation, although the colour variants for each piece unlock through the progression system attached to the original purchase.
The next test of the Rogue skinline’s reception arrives over the coming days, as players cycle the Push Dagger through clutch rounds and kill cams across the competitive queues and Riot watch the engagement metrics that shape the cadence of future melee releases.
