With Valorant's Episode 8 Act 3 underway, players have been enjoying the new meta that has started to take place following the recent nerfs of Viper and Cypher in patch 8.08. Players have been experimenting with a wide range of different compositions, trying to find out the best options for each map, and with Episode 9 being just around the corner, we are likely to see even more changes coming down the pipeline. One thing that remains constant, however, is the different skins that keep getting released, and Episode 8 Act 3 brought some of the best so far, with the Mystbloom bundle and the battle pass skin sets quickly becoming fan-favorites.
If you are not interested in these new additions, the Valorant Night Market is the perfect place to try your luck and get discounts on some of the best skins that have been rotated out of the shop in the last few years. The next Valorant Night Market was just announced, and in this article, we are going to go over all of the details, including the release date and what you can expect to find!

When is the Next Valorant Night Market? May 2024
The next Valorant Night Market will take place on May 22nd and will last for three weeks, ending on June 12th. During this time, players can check what kind of weapon skins they received at a discounted price, and those skins will remain in their Night Market tab until it concludes, so you don't have to worry about rushing to purchase them. Here are some times in a few different time zones in which the Valorant Night Market is expected to release on May 22nd:
- 8 PM ET

Riot also introduced a Bad Luck Protection system back in December 2020 to increase the amount of unique skins you can find in the Night Market. If you don't own every Premium Edition skin, you will receive at least two Premium skins in your pool. Additionally, you can no longer receive two skins for the same weapon in order to increase variety.

What is the Valorant Night Market?
The Valorant Night Market is an in-game shop that appears roughly every two months, providing players with a big discount on 6 random weapon skins that have been rotated out of the shop. Since the skins you get are random, a lot of players always get excited to see which ones they got, as well as how much they are discounted for. Since the cost for the regular bundles is quite high, the Night Market allows players to grab some of the best skins at a much lower price, provided they get lucky and find the ones they are looking for.
Even if you are not planning on spending money, it's still fun to see what you got and share it with your friends, so the Night Market has become a big event in the Valorant community.

How to Find the Valorant Night Market
When you enter Valorant, you will find a small card logo at the top right-hand corner of your main menu screen. By clicking this icon, you will see six cards, which are going to be your randomized weapons. Flip over the cards to reveal the featured skin and its associated discount percentage. The background color and the shape in the bottom right-hand corner of the card indicate the skin's tier and rarity.
Can You Change Your Night Market Skins?
There is currently no way to change the discounted skins you have in your Valorant Night Market. If you are not happy with the ones you got, don't worry as the Night Market happens every two months, so you will eventually find the ones you are looking for.
That is everything you need to know about the next Valorant Night Market.
