SplashX Bundle Details – All Skins List, Price, Release Date, In-Game Look

With Patch 11.02 and the highly anticipated Unreal Engine 5.3 upgrade, Riot Games introduced one of its most vibrant and playful skin lines yet — the SplashX Collection. Designed as a summer-themed bundle, SplashX offers a refreshing break from darker or futuristic cosmetics, focusing instead on bright colors, water-gun aesthetics, and bubbly animations.

SplashX Bundle Release Date

The SplashX Collection was officially revealed on July 29, 2025, and became available in the VALORANT in-game store around July 31 or August 1, depending on region. The collection is expected to stay in the featured store section for at least two weeks, giving players time to decide whether to dive in.

What’s Included in the SplashX Bundle?

The bundle includes three premium weapon skins and a themed melee, along with a full set of accessories:

• SplashX Vandal — Classic rifle with vibrant visuals and animated water effects.
• SplashX Operator — Sniper skin featuring translucent chambers filled with moving water.
• SplashX Gloves (Melee) — A unique melee skin styled as oversized water-balloon gloves, with splashy animations on attack.
  
• Accessories: SharkX Flex (Gun Buddy) — A mini animated shark accessory.
• SplashX Gun Buddy
• SplashX Player Card
• SplashX Spray

Each weapon includes four color variants: Default (turquoise/orange), Black/Purple, White/Green and Purple/White. Variants and animation upgrades can be unlocked with Radianite Points (RP).

Visual and Audio Effects of SplashX Bundle

The SplashX Collection is all about summer fun, inspired by water-guns and pool toys. Weapons have glossy plastic textures, bright highlights, and animated liquid chambers that slosh around with movement.

Sound design is one of the bundle’s highlights:

• Weapons fire with soft, toy-like water jet sound effects.
• Reload and inspect animations include splashy effects and bubbling sounds.
• The melee weapon (SplashX Gloves) produces water balloon impact noises and a squishy sound when slashing.

Final Kill Finisher: The round-ending kill triggers a giant bouncing water balloon above the victim. Teammates and enemies can shoot it to detonate, creating a splash-wave visual across the fallen opponent.

Backstory and Community Reaction

SplashX doesn’t come with a narrative or lore like the Phaseguard collection. Instead, its appeal lies in bold, playful design. It's a bundle that fully embraces the seasonal theme, offering something lighthearted and colorful — a contrast to the tactical seriousness of most gameplay.

Initial community reception has been overwhelmingly positive:

• Themed reload animations and inspect effects have been called “S-tier.”
• The gloves are a standout addition, praised for originality.
• Some players noted that while fun, the bundle’s novelty may wear off faster than more “serious” skin lines.

Overall, the community received the new collection fairly well, but the main criticism is that the melee weapon is excessively large — it literally takes up half the screen.

Conclusion

The SplashX Collection in VALORANT offers one of the most vibrant, well-executed thematic skin bundles to date. From its animated textures and watery sounds to its stylized summer finishers, SplashX is perfect for players who enjoy unique, lighthearted cosmetics.

If you’re someone who liked the colorful chaos of bundles like Neptune or Glitchpop, SplashX will likely be a must-have. And with a generous discount and free accessories when purchased as a full set, the bundle offers solid value for those ready to make a splash.
