Riot officially confirmed that the Night Market is returning for the current act, and it’s happening surprisingly soon after the last one, just a short gap between these events. It’s curious how they’re running another in the same season so quickly, keeping players on their toes with back-to-back chances to grab discounted skins

How VALORANT Night Market Works

You get six random mystery cards. They reveal skins from Select, Deluxe, and Premium tiers. Ultra‑expensive melee are not allowed (those over 3,550 VP). Discounts are usually between 10%–49%. Riot says you will see at least two premium‑tier skins thanks to “bad‑luck protection”. And once you click your cards, that’s it—no rerolls or replacements till it ends.
Which Skins Might Show Up
They tend to include stuff from older Acts, skipping the newest two. Expectations include bundles like Aperture, Combat Crafts, Wonderstallion, Daydreams, Endeavour, Fortune’s Hand, Storm Maw, Bolt, Smite, Minima, Convex, Galleria, Intergrade, Luxe, Reverie and others Premium sets include Reaver, Prime, Oni, Ion, Gaia’s Vengeance, Soulstrife, Xenohunter, Neptune, and more
Night Market Tips

- Make sure you top up VP before it opens, because good deals vanish fast.
- Reveal cards as soon as you log in—it’s better to know early than regret late.
- Riot’s system tends to give skins for guns you use more—so your offers could feel more relevant.
- Once July 24 comes, whatever you didn’t buy is gone. It’s not coming back till next Act.
Final Thoughts
This July market looks like Riot is staying consistent: a short two‑week event close to Act’s end, offering a mix of nostalgia (old favorites) and newer stuff (skipped lately). It’s personal, strategic (you plan your VP), and has that feel of “grab it or lose it.” But yes, it’s still based on RNG, and some players may find the offers disappointing or unpredictable.
