Fans of Valorant are expressing their discontent over the rumored price of the new VCT Karambit knife, which will be featured in the upcoming 2025 Season Capsule. Speculation surrounding the pricing has ignited a wave of reactions within the gaming community.
Over the years, Riot Games has introduced several bundles that allow players to contribute to the thriving competitive scene of Valorant. Each year during the Valorant Champions event, players receive fresh capsule offerings, with last year’s bundles focusing on individual teams.
As the year 2025 approaches, Riot Games has unveiled the 2025 Season Capsule bundle. Unlike previous iterations, this package will distribute its proceeds across various international leagues rather than funneling support directly to specific teams.
Pricing Controversy Over the VCT Karambit Knife
Set to launch on February 6, the VCT Karambit has quickly become a focal point of conversation, particularly over its steep price tag of 5440 VP (Valorant Points).Many fans have reacted unfavorably to this figure, considering it exorbitant for a single virtual item.
One player voiced their disbelief, stating, “54€ for one knife is absolutely crazy hahaha. Valorant is so cooked skins-wise. For that money, you can actually get the cheapest CS knife lol.” Another user humorously remarked, “For this price, I can get a real karambit.”
The aesthetic of the knife has also come under fire, with comments suggesting that its design resembles something hastily created: “If they’re going to charge 55 dollars at least try and make it look like it wasn’t drawn in MS Paint on a trackpad. Looks like s*it, ” noted one disgruntled player. A suggestion to enhance the knife further with a kill effect was made by another community member.

Additional commentary from the player base indicates a sentiment that this new bundle appears to be a “downgrade”compared to similar offerings from the previous year. Players are keenly aware of past releases, and this parallels with their high expectations for new skins.
This special capsule will be available for a limited timeframe, running from February 6 until March 2, coinciding with the conclusion of Masters Bangkok. Given the collaborative pricing strategy that shares profits across international leagues, it seems unlikely that Riot will entertain discounts during this period.
