Ah, memories. Remember the days when a leaked skin bundle could send the entire Valorant community into a frenzy? I certainly do. As a self-proclaimed weapon skin connoisseur, few leaks got my heart racing like the infamous "RGX 11Z Pro" bundle back in the day. It was a simpler time, before the meta shifted a dozen times and new agents made my head spin. The hype was real, the screenshots were grainy, and we all frantically counted down the days until we could flex these digital masterpieces. Let me take you on a trip down memory lane to that glorious leak of 2021.

Back then, Riot had already set an insane standard. We'd weathered the dragon-fire of Elderflame, tapped our feet to the rhythm of Prime, and embraced the dark aesthetic of Reaver. Every new bundle wasn't just a purchase; it was an event. The community had a collective nervous tick, checking for updates roughly every 12 days. Just as we were finishing up our cute little workouts with the VALORANT GO! Vol. 2 skins, the rumor mill started churning. Whispers of a new, high-tech set began to surface. And then, bless the data miners, it happened. The "RGX 11Z Pro" bundle was ripped straight from the game's files and plastered all over Twitter.

The leak, courtesy of the ever-vigilant Mike, didn't just give us a name. Oh no. It gave us a full visual feast. A preview image and a video showcase hit the web, and my wallet instantly felt lighter. The theme was clear: sleek, futuristic, and dripping with neon-cool. It promised not just skins, but an experience. The bundle followed the classic structure with four snazzy color variants, but the weapon lineup? Chef's kiss.

Here’s what was in the box (or, well, the leaked files):

  • Stinger – Because even the smg deserves to look expensive.

  • Vandal – The undisputed star of the show. Everyone knew this would be the skin to own.

  • Frenzy – A fancy sidearm to make your pistol round feel premium.

  • Guardian – For the disciplined tap-fire enthusiasts.

  • Melee (Katana) – Not just a knife... a freaking Katana. This was the cherry on top.

Let's be real, we all pretended to care about the full set, but our eyes were locked on two things: the Vandal and that glorious Katana. The Vandal looked like it was forged in a neon-drenched cyber-factory, and the Katana? It promised satisfying shing sounds I could already hear in my dreams. The leaked video by HitBoxKing on YouTube showed these weapons weren't just pretty faces. They were packed with stunning VFX and animations that made every reload and inspect feel like a mini-movie. It was premium, and we knew it.

So, when were we going to get our hands on this digital treasure? The in-game timer for the existing bundle was our crystal ball. The math was simple, and the community consensus landed on October 6th, 2021. Of course, release dates were a bit of a time-zone roulette, but we all marked our calendars. Then came the moment of truth: the price tag. Gulp.

Item Cost (VP)
Full RGX 11Z Pro Bundle 8,700
Individual Weapon Skins Varies (Premium Pricing)

Yep, 8700 Valorant Points for the whole shebang. A king's ransom for pixel perfection. But Riot, in their mercy, offered an à la carte option. You didn't have to sell a kidney for the whole set; you could just buy that majestic Vandal and live your best life. The debate raged: go all-in or stay frugal? For many of us, the allure of the complete collection, especially that Katana, was too strong to resist.

Looking back from 2026, the RGX 11Z Pro leak was a classic moment in Valorant history. It perfectly captured the pre-release hype cycle that we still see today, just with more advanced graphics and even wilder designs. That bundle set a new benchmark for what a "premium" skin line could be—sleek, animated, and utterly flex-worthy. It wasn't just about shooting enemies; it was about doing it in style. While today's bundles might have even more bells and whistles, I'll always have a soft spot for the neon glow of those RGX skins. They remind me of a time when a simple leak could make a Wednesday feel like Christmas. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to equip my old RGX Vandal and hit the range for some nostalgic wall-spraying. Some classics never go out of style. 😎
