The Valorant Protocol skins seem tailor made for Kay/O, the game’s robotic Radiant hunter. That, or major fans of the Decepticons in Transformers. Unique aspects for the Protocol skins include upgraded animations which expand the guns as you unholster or inspect them, and the ability for the guns to talk to you as you secure kills.
The Protocol 781-A skin bundle in Valorant includes four guns and one melee weapon. Hereare all the weapons in the Valorant Protocol bundle:
- Protocol 781-A Sheriff
- Protocol 781-A Spectre
- Protocol 781-A Bulldog
- Protocol 781-A Phantom
- Protocol Personal Administrative Melee Unit (Knife)
