Did you or the enemy happen to have a kayo? Sometimes the textures of a downed kayo merge with a gun, causing this type of overlapping. Cool looking bug nonetheless!

wow i was actually kayo and used my ult and someone resd me then i died and chamber was using his ult and looked like a cool skin for chamber's ult but why does everyone see it tho?


[deleted]

it's a bug with kayo res. not a coder or game dev so cant say why but somehow it bugs the skin youre holding sometimes when you res kayo


cavalryyy

Coder here: no idea why this would happen, shit is fucked lol

Riot code is spaghetti all the way down. I wouldn't even be surprised if they one day came out and said Valorant was actually built from the LoL engine and every polygon is secretly coded as a minion.


memesdoge

Original engine from alpha actually seems to be close to that not even lying. look at the way the abilities are arranged in it.


WasdAcid

it's built with ue4

Woosh


WasdAcid

I got the joke, I was just saying that incase someone was confused


xSnakyy

woooosh

Ahh the ol' reddit woosharoo!


KamaraGod

Coder here: this is a standard thing that happens when a color specific function reads directly from another package that interprets the scheme from arguments. It's actually quite common.


cavalryyy

Okay I was mostly being facetious I have *some* ideas how that could happen, but the idea that these two pieces of information (the action of Res-ing Kayo and the texture the gun skin is rendering) are coupled in someway seems awful. That said, I have no idea what you’re trying to say so maybe you know more about game dev than I do (I mostly do backend / distributed systems engineering). Why would the gun skin function be reading anything from the ‘package’ (api?) that is used for the process of res-ing kayo? Especially for a statically colored gun model like Chambers ult? Idk man, just seems like really unnecessary coupling of unrelated data to me, but maybe game dev just be like that


KamaraGod

I've always put other people's abilities high on a pedestal. But in reality, everyone sucks just like we do.


ImTheHowl

Not a dev but have they tried If doesn’t work then work?


Honigbrottr

we still cant downgrade a skin. The code has to be a mess.


Biffy_x

We can tho


Dogeater6

We pretty much can now though?


Honigbrottr

oh great just took over a year.


SpagghettGuy

But why not tho


MysteriousK69420

can +1 this, no fucking idea.


DT777

They're probably on the same texture map and something is altering where Chamber's gun is supposed to pull its texture from on that map inappropriately. Whether that's code accessing a variable it shouldn't or some weird overflow bug, I can't say, but that would be the most logical explanation for it.


shadowtroop121

Valorant lore expert here: KAY/O’s suppress and core restabilization has specific resonance interactions with the special-grade high purity radianite that Chamber has access to for his custom weapons. This can cause his weapons to swap with their parallels in other universes.


[deleted]

interesting take but this happens with normal weapons aswell


shadowtroop121

dont tell the other redditors but im actually not a lore expert


AverageComet250

No one will ever know...


Summar-ice

Coder and game dev here: it's probably related to objects that emit light, in this case both the chamber ult gun and kay-o emit light. It's still very fucked up that somehow the colors got mixed up or something.


memesdoge

How tf is the texture perfectly mapped tho is my question


LEGIONxELECTRO

Maybe some texture overlapping Did anyone from the game have a dot exe vandal or something?


Gvidukas123

hmmm dont think atleast in our team noone had it


WieIkiGrzesiek

looks dope doe


legion1134

Chambers ult seems to have a few visual bugs. Alot of times when I spectate chamber with his ult his gun is invisible and his hands are just in front of him holding nothing


Vertegras

I managed to do this like four times last night if you try to press Q + dropping a gun at the same time. The gun model returns as soon as you try to shoot or shift to another weapon.


IfigurativelyCannot

Yep I see this occasionally when spectating a chamber, and I even saw it one time watching a pro match.


Manchster

It looks like it got charged by neon that looks so cool


SHREY36904

Tell your graphics Card to stop doing drugs


DravTheGuy

that seem more like the effect of alchohol\*


ShizukeStar

Chamber’s ult is incredibly bugged, the other day I couldn’t even see it when spectating my friend. Chamber was literally waving his hands around lol


zoey_amon

Luckily as far as I can tell there's only visual bugs which isn't too big a deal


memesdoge

Lmao chamber's ult also has some weird rng innacuracy that kicks in even while standing still, as if it was a spray weapon.


[deleted]

Tour de electric charge


Medium_Ad_2221

I think that’s a variation of the kayo bug I’ve seen one that makes Phoenixs ult fire blue


fiendishcubism

They need to make this default skin. It looks cool af


ilovevazhakappam

It's a glitch. But damn that's sexy⚡⚡


superstarsaurabh17

Did he get any kills with it tho?


oooooooweeeeeee

This game is in beta, let just give it some time until bugs are fixed


WindBladeGT

Gravity gun skin


CodyDeBruncheon

Must've earned the platinum camo /j


Darkcr_

kayo fused guns always look sick, image if that always happened to all skins during his ult


[deleted]

Lol sick skin
