What Exclusive tier means
Exclusive is one of the content tiers in VALORANT.
Tier sets the price band and the ceiling on effects, not the art style — a Select skin can look better than a Premium one, it just carries less behind it.

Melee skins are the most visible cosmetic in the game — your knife is on screen every time you have it out, and it is the one slot every player sees on inspect.
