VALORANT's New 'Flex' Cosmetics Let Players Show Off Cheese, Phones, and Snowflakes
Riot Games has introduced "Flex," a new cosmetic category in VALORANT that adds unique interactive items to the game's customization options.
These new Flex items can take various forms, from everyday objects like cellphones and cheese blocks to decorative elements like snowflakes. Players will receive two items at launch: a free cellphone and a battle pass snowflake.
Key features of Flex items:
- Visible only in first-person view
- Can be equipped before, during, or after rounds
- No gameplay advantages or movement speed boosts
- Purely cosmetic purpose

- Potential high costs similar to existing premium skins
- Priority over requested features like the replay system
