The release of new skins is common in Valorant. An event every two or three weeks that the community gives some importance to. Even so, players rarely go beyond sharing their opinion. There is talk about whether cosmetics are beautiful, whether they are worth buying or whether their price is well decided. However, this time something different has happened. The new collection, called Mercado Negro, has given rise to an important controversy. Many members of the community, including fans of Riot Games, have reacted extraordinarily negatively, reviving the old allegations about alleged plagiarism of Counter-Strike.

Some Valorant skins inspired by the real world
The Black Market Collection recreates the original weapons that inspired Valorant's fictional arsenal. The default pistol becomes a kind of Glock, the Vandal takes almost identical characteristics to the AK-47 and the Bulldog looks like a futuristic FAMAS. The skin set is completed by the Marshall envisioned as a light sniper rifle and a butterfly knife. They all have the particularity that they show different colors depending on whether they are equipped on the offensive or defensive side.
