Valorant Run It Back V26 Malaysia Time: Ends 22 Sept 2026?
Published: 2026-09-03
Riot dropped the Valorant Run It Back V26 capsule at the start of Patch 13.05 on 2 September 2026, and Malaysian players have until 22 September MYT to grab it or wait years for another shot. The bundle sits at 5,460 VP, a flat 20% cut off the sticker price of buying the three skins individually. Malaysia is one of the regions Riot has locked to bundle-only purchase. Buy the box, or leave every skin behind.
Three cult returners share the box: the Elderflame Operator (Ultra tier, animated dragon), the RGX 11z Pro Vandal (Exclusive tier, kill counter and finisher), and the Singularity Sheriff (Exclusive tier, black-hole variant). All three first shipped between 2020 and 2021, and none has been reliably available in-store since. On a per-skin basis in the two regions still allowed to unbundle, the Sheriff runs 2,175 VP, Vandal 2,175 VP, and Operator 2,475 VP. That is 6,825 VP full price against the 5,460 VP box.
Elderflame Operator's Dragon Still Steals the Bundle
The Elderflame Operator is the reason this capsule exists. It was Valorant's first Ultra Edition skin at launch. Reactive upgrade levels turn the rifle into a fire-breathing dragon by Level 4, which stacks four progressive visual and audio changes as the reload chain fires, culminating in the full dragon roar animation reserved for the max tier. Scope in and the dragon opens its mouth. Reloading feeds the magazine into the beast. A kill banner shows the dragon eating the enemy in one gulp.
The RGX 11z Pro Vandal is the utility pick of the three, carrying an on-screen kill counter, four colour variants, and a headshot finisher that dissolves the target into blue pixels, and it is easily the skin Malaysian ranked lobbies notice first on a Bind or Ascent entry frag from A-site. Singularity Sheriff finishes the set with purple black-hole particles on every shot, and stands as one of the few Exclusive-tier Sheriffs with fully animated inspect frames.
The official Valorant wiki page for the capsule frames it plainly: "Pick up a new skin from a hand-picked selection of some of our favorites. Items can only be purchased as a bundle." Three animation-heavy skins in one box is a stronger flex than any plain-white base gun a Malaysian ranked lobby has seen this season.
Skip Run It Back V26 If You Already Own Any Skin Inside
Bundle-only purchase is the trap. If your account already carries the Elderflame Operator from the original 2020 drop, or the RGX Vandal from an earlier Night Market, Riot will still charge you the full 5,460 VP for the box regardless of what your Collection tab already stores. Nothing you already own gets refunded. VP does not come back. Duplicates just sit dead. Only the untouched skins in the trio actually appear.
Check your Collection tab first. Open Collection then Weapons, filter by the three weapons above, and confirm each skin by name before you top up. Malaysian accounts cannot single-buy any of the three during this window, and VP does not refund cross-region either. A KL account topped up on the Singaporean server cannot claim ringgit back if you regret the pull.
Regional pricing sometimes lags a patch behind on Southeast Asian storefronts. If the Malaysia store still shows the three weapons as single-buy for a few hours after Patch 13.05 rolls out locally, that is a display bug, not a loophole.
5,460 VP in Ringgit: REDX Game vs App Store Malaysia
Here is where the ringgit math earns its keep. Riot sells VP in fixed packs, and 5,460 VP does not land on any one pack. Cheapest legal combination: the 5,350 VP pack plus a 475 VP top-up (5,825 VP total), with 365 VP left over after the box. A 7,000 VP single pack costs more upfront but leaves a bigger VP war chest for the Champions 2026 skin drop expected around 16 September.
At REDX Game, the 5,350 VP pack is RM 267 for direct top-up in Malaysia. That same 5,350 VP on the App Store via Apple's in-game purchase costs about RM 328 after Apple's currency conversion. Gap on that single pack alone: RM 61, or roughly 19% off, before you even add the 475 VP top-up. Boleh tahan for a workflow that takes 30 seconds through the Valorant Malaysia top-up page.
Sixty ringgit is a Grab from KL Sentral to Shah Alam on a rainy Friday, or a nasi lemak special in Bangsar with change to spare. That is the tax Apple charges on one Valorant top-up for the exact same VP.

REDX Game pays out inside the advertised 1 to 3 minute delivery window on DuitNow QR, TnG eWallet, or Boost. Boost tends to be quickest for Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam wallets in real-world use. Screenshot the delivery receipt in case Riot's login server hiccups mid-top-up. The Valorant Malaysia order page keeps the order ID on file for reference.
Zero flexibility on the end date. Log in on the morning of 22 September and the capsule is already gone from the shop, replaced by the Champions 2026 drop. Riot rotates the in-game store on a UTC-aligned window, and Malaysia sits on GMT+8, so the swap happens during Malaysian breakfast hours.
Run It Back V26 FAQ for Malaysian Players
When does Run It Back V26 end in Malaysia time?
Riot lists the capsule as available in-store until 22 September 2026. The store rotates on a UTC-aligned window, and Malaysia is GMT+8, so plan on the capsule being gone by mid-morning MYT on that Monday.
Can I buy just the Elderflame Operator without the bundle?
No. Patch 13.05 restricted the three weapons to bundle-only purchase in every region except Brazil, where local consumer law requires an unbundled option, and Malaysian accounts on either the Singapore or the SEA server cannot single-buy any of the three during this Run It Back window.
Will Run It Back V26 come back in 2027?
The Run It Back V-series capsules average one drop per year, but Riot has never guaranteed any single skin will return, and the original Elderflame collection went years between its 2020 launch and this Run It Back V26 appearance without an in-store rerun in between. Treat 22 September as a real deadline, not a soft one.
Is REDX Game cheaper than App Store for Valorant VP in Malaysia?
Yes. On the 5,350 VP pack, the main pack you need to cover this bundle, REDX Game is RM 267 versus App Store's RM 328, a saving of RM 61 or roughly 19%. Ringgit pricing is native. There is no Apple currency conversion tacked on, and DuitNow QR, TnG eWallet, and Boost all clear inside the advertised 1 to 3 minute delivery window.
Do I need the 7,000 VP pack, or is 5,825 VP enough?
5,825 VP (the 5,350 pack plus a 475 top-up) covers the box with 365 VP left over. Grab the 7,000 pack only if you plan to stack it with the Champions 2026 skin bundle around 16 September.
Can I refund the bundle if I already own a skin inside?
Riot's refund policy explicitly excludes bundles. VP does not refund back once the capsule is claimed, so open Collection then Weapons and confirm you do not already own the Elderflame Operator, RGX Vandal, or Singularity Sheriff before topping up.
KL to Kuching: Malaysian Player Advice Before Sept 22
Two weeks and change. That is the window. Malaysian ranked queues from KL to Johor Bahru start flooding with Elderflame Operators the moment the capsule drops, and Paper Rex analysis desks will be showing off the RGX Vandal on stream during VCT Pacific downtime for the coming Champions 2026 push in Shanghai from 24 September onwards. Being the third dragon in a ranked lobby by Merdeka-week rerun feels less special than being the first on 3 September. Grab yours early.
Time your top-up around Riot's Malaysia maintenance windows, typically midweek mornings MYT. Load VP the night before through the REDX Game Valorant page, then log in fresh the next morning to grab the capsule with zero queue anxiety. Ipoh and Penang players on slower fibre often report longer store-load times during Malaysian evening peak. Senang gila.
The Champions 2026 skin drop follows around 16 September, so budget for both if you plan to collect. Anchor-pack math: RM 267 for Run It Back V26, another RM 267 for a Champions 2026 pull, totals RM 534 through REDX Game's Malaysian rails for a full September collector run. Same VP through the App Store lands closer to RM 656.
