VALORANT // COMBAT CRAFTS Collection Concepts

Combat Crafts was a skinline I fully owned during concept stage. The team and I thought about many questions that needed to be answered, like "What was the person's skill level if they created this?", "Are they a young hobbyist?", "Have the resources been literally dug out of the trash?". Early on, we knew we were going to attempt to tape on beloved skins to the side of the gun but a lot of exploration was done on the phantom. And so, I took a more simple approach as to how someone might recreate this in real life. One of my thoughts during development was the idea someone repurposed BlastX boxes or old delivery boxes. I ended up building the red dot sight and the frenzy option as a proof of concept :)

I'd like to credit Justin Wildhorn and Cata Faerman on the Outsourcing team in helping bringing all of this to life in 3D. Also thanks to my lead Kevin Duc for support and inspiration.
