⏳ – left in the shop
It is now official: the Valorant Run It Back V26 bundle has been live in the shop since September 2, 2026 and brings back three of the most beloved skins in VALORANT history. The collection leaked on August 31 – since September 2 it is confirmed and in the shop, and the names make collectors' hearts race: the Elderflame Operator, the Singularity Sheriff and the RGX 11z Pro Vandal. All three are among the most iconic weapon skins Riot has ever released.
"Run It Back" is not a brand-new collection but a recurring re-release series: Riot takes older, often limited or long-vaulted fan favorites and makes them purchasable again for a short time. It's aimed mainly at players who weren't around back then or missed the collection the first time. For V26, Riot deliberately combined three heavyweights that otherwise rarely – or never – return to the shop.
On this page you'll find everything in one place: which skins are included, what the bundle costs (5,460 VP), how long it stays available, why you can only buy the full set this time, and whether it's worth spending your VP. Everything is now officially confirmed – status: September 2, 2026.
The Run It Back V26 bundle launched on September 2, 2026 in the VALORANT shop and stays until September 22, 2026 (the day Patch 13.06 arrives) – roughly 16 days after the Aeris collection, which launched on August 18, 2026. That puts the release right in Riot's usual rhythm of rolling out a new collection or re-release every few weeks.
As always, an official Riot statement is still pending – the date comes from data-mining the current patch. In practice these dates are very reliable because they are read straight from the in-client shop schedules. Once the bundle actually appears in the shop, we'll add the final prices, images and the exact availability window here. Our tip: bookmark this page and check your shop since September 2.
The Run It Back V26 bundle brings back the Elderflame Operator, Singularity Sheriff and RGX 11z Pro Vandal. Live since September 2, 2026, only until September 22. Price: 5,460 VP – exclusively as a full bundle.
Three returning fan favorites from three different editions. Every image is the real in-game render from the official Valorant API.
The star of the bundle. The Elderflame line was VALORANT's very first Ultra Edition back in 2020 and is still legendary: the weapon turns into a living dragon that hisses when drawn, breathes fire on reload and moves its head on inspect. As the Operator it becomes a huge dragon sniper rifle with a jaw, eyes and wings.
Pure cosmos: the Singularity collection wraps the weapon in deep black with glowing cyan void energy and a tiny black hole that pulls in matter. It gives the Sheriff a sleek, almost alien look with its own kill banner and a spectacular finisher that drags the enemy into space.
The gamer's dream: the RGX 11z Pro goes for an aggressive high-tech look in black with neon-green and orange accents inspired by RGB gaming hardware. The Vandal is one of the most popular skins ever, partly thanks to its famous finisher that displays a scoreboard/leaderboard interface. Multiple levels and variants included.
Expected values based on the known individual prices and the previous Run It Back V25 collection.
The exact bundle price is only confirmed at launch. 6,825 VP is the precise sum of the three individual prices (2,475 + 2,175 + 1,775).
One detail has the community talking. Normally you can cherry-pick individual skins from a VALORANT collection – if you only like the Vandal, you just buy the Vandal. The Run It Back V26 bundle breaks that tradition: the three skins are only available together as a full bundle. Buying them individually is disabled.
The only known exception is Brazil: local consumer-protection laws require digital goods to be available individually, so Brazilian players will likely be able to buy the skins separately. For every other region – including Europe – it's the whole set or nothing.
For collectors who want all three skins anyway, that's no problem – the bundle is cheaper than three separate purchases. But if you only care about one of the three weapons, you'll have to weigh whether the whole package is worth the price. That "all or nothing" is exactly why we give you an honest buying verdict below.
When Riot revealed the Elderflame collection in 2020, it was a turning point: for the first time a weapon wasn't just recolored but turned into a fully animated creature of its own. The Operator becomes a dragon whose jaw opens when you fire, that breathes flames on reload and looks alive at rest. That attention to detail made Elderflame the blueprint for every later Ultra skin. Because it only rarely returns to the shop, the Elderflame Operator is the main reason many players will grab the Run It Back V26 bundle.
The Singularity collection strikes a very different tone: cool, sleek, cosmic. Jet-black weapons with cyan glowing edges, surrounded by the energy of a miniature black hole. It makes the Sheriff feel like a precision tool from a distant future. Its finisher is one of the most satisfying in the game: the defeated enemy is pulled into a singularity and vanishes into nothing. As an Exclusive-edition skin it sits in the upper mid-range on price and is a real eye-catcher for anyone who prefers subtle elegance over bright colors.
The RGX 11z Pro is a love letter to gaming culture itself. Black chassis, neon-green and orange RGB accents, a look like high-end gaming peripherals. It's best known for its finisher, which pops up a futuristic scoreboard interface after your final kill – a little moment of showing off that many players love. The Vandal is the most-used weapon in competitive VALORANT, so good Vandal skins are always in demand. With several levels and color variants, the RGX 11z Pro offers plenty to unlock.
VALORANT Points only come in fixed packs. Drag the slider to see the cheapest combination for the bundle.

You only get VALORANT Points through the official in-game shop or genuine gift cards from retailers. Around every hyped release, dodgy offers pop up promising cheap VP or a "free Run It Back V26 bundle". Stay away: Riot never sells VP cheaper anywhere, and no legit site gives away skins for your login details. Such offers are almost always phishing and can cost you your entire account – including every skin you already own.
Because VP only comes in fixed packs, a small remainder almost always stays on your account after buying the bundle. The calculator above shows the cheapest combination. If you plan to buy skins more often anyway, a larger pack is marginally cheaper because the price per VP drops slightly with pack size.
"Run It Back" is Riot's format for making past skin collections accessible to a new generation of players. Many of the most wanted VALORANT skins were only in the shop briefly or only rarely show up in the Night Market. With the Run It Back bundles, Riot brings such classics back together – usually three to four fan favorites per edition, spanning different editions and price tiers.
The predecessor Run It Back V25 launched in December 2025 and set the template for pricing: there too, the bundle was offered clearly cheaper than the sum of the individual prices. It's exactly that basis on which we estimate the V26 price at around 5,460 VP. For players, the format is ideal for catching up on missed gems without hoping for a lucky Night Market roll.
A side effect: because Run It Back skins disappear from the shop again after the event, they keep their collector value. If you've had the Elderflame Operator, Singularity Sheriff or RGX 11z Pro Vandal on your wishlist for a while, V26 may be your last convenient chance to grab them for a long time.
That depends on what you're after. Purely on the numbers, the bundle is a good deal: for around 5,460 VP you get three skins that would cost 6,825 VP individually – about 1,365 VP saved. If you like all three, it's a clear buy. Add the rarity factor: Elderflame, Singularity and RGX only rarely return, and after the event they're gone again.
It gets trickier if you really only care about one of the three weapons. Because individual purchase is disabled, you still pay for the full set. In that case, be honest about whether your one wanted weapon is worth the full bundle price – or whether you'd rather wait for a possible individual release or the Night Market. Our advice: wait the first few hours after release, watch inspect videos and finishers in motion, then decide at your own pace.
Not buying advice – in the end your taste and budget decide.
Before you drop around €55 on a new bundle, it's worth a look at what you already own. Many players underestimate how much their inventory has grown in value over the years – especially old Ultra and Exclusive skins like Elderflame or Singularity add up quickly.
