Riot Games has announced a new in-game fundraising initiative across League of Legends and VALORANT to support those affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Starting January 22nd, the fundraiser will run in various regions where Riot operates, with all proceeds going to the Riot Games Social Impact Fund, which will then distribute the funds to organizations aiding disaster recovery in Southern California and beyond.
From January 22nd to January 30th, VALORANT will offer its EX.O Collection as a "Give Back Bundle," with all sales of weapon skins and accessories contributing to the fundraiser.
League of Legends will make its limited-edition Firefighter Tristana skin available once again from January 23rd at 12 pm PT (8 pm GMT) through February 5th at 11:59 am PT (8 pm GMT). Originally released in 2010, the skin had been vaulted and unavailable for purchase until now.

The EX.O Collection in VALORANT is the latest addition to the game’s skin lineup, while Firefighter Tristana is a legacy skin. Riot Games also announced a double-donation program for employees, where charitable contributions from Rioters will be tripled. These donations will go to organizations like the California Fire Foundation, Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, International Medical Corps, American Red Cross, and World Central Kitchen.
Riot Games, which is headquartered in Los Angeles, previously closed its offices to all but critical operations last week, with some employees personally impacted by the wildfires, including losing their homes.
