Updated:

Who wants to take down enemies with the same generic looking gun all the time?

While everyone who plays Valorant has a favorite gun (whether it’s for the way it looks or the number of kills achieved), I think it’s safe to say that the Vandal is an option players return to without fail. Those who love the Vandal know that while it’s quite similar to the Phantom in numbers, it reigns supreme in high damage rates across varying distances. Just one carefully aimed headshot is enough to take down an enemy in a heartbeat, even through full armor! If stats alone aren’t enough to get you excited about the Vandal, I’m confident that the unique skins available definitely will get your heart racing. Take a look at the top 5 best Vandal skins and learn how you can get your hands on them (because trust me, you’ll be dying to collect them all).

5. Sovereign

Defeat any enemy with elegance and grace.

The Sovereign Vandal skin is like something out of a dream. Everything about this skin screams “Battle Angel” and for those who enjoy fantasy-themed video games, the Sovereign brings a touch of that to Valorant with ethereal ivory skin and complimentary sound effects. Complete with a sharp golden barrel and an updated sight, this version of the Vandal is ready to carry you to victory in style.

Headshot Animation: With every headshot scored, a decorative symbol of a bird surrounded by teal will pop up on the screen, making the feeling of success all the more worth it!
How to Get the Sovereign: To purchase the Sovereign skin, you’ll first need to get your hands on the Forsaken Vandal, which costs 1,775 VP in the Valorant Store. Once you do that, the Sovereign is available as an upgrade and costs 15 Radiant Points.

4. Ego

Don't let your ego get in the way...or maybe do, we don't care!

The name “Ego” is perfect for this skin because, as we all know, the Vandal is pretty much made for boosting a player's ego (I mean, skills). In all seriousness though, who wouldn’t love this epic design; a gold barrel and additional gold details decorating a unique black and white body pattern? Yes, please! If this color style isn’t your vibe though, don’t worry. You can purchase the Ego skin in multiple other colorways such as red and black, tan and white, and purple and teal.

Headshot Animation: Whenever you land a headshot, a white skull surrounded by mint green circles will pop onto the screen to congratulate you.
How to Get the Ego: You can find the individual Ego skin in the Valorant Store for 1,775 VP and each additional colorway will cost 15 Radiant Points. If you want the entire Ego bundle, you can snag that for 7,100 VP.

3. Reaver

The Omen special, anyone?

If you’re an Omen main, then this is the skin for you (and even if you aren’t it’s pretty awesome). With major dark vibes of purple and black colors outlined by claw-like trim, the Reaver skin is ready to take on any foe single-handedly. This skin has similar sound effects to the Sovereign and glows with a deep purple light that pays tribute to our favorite shadow man with every shot. Is purple not your color? No worries! You can get the Reaver in 3 additional colorways: white and black, red and black, and shadowed (all black).

Headshot Animation: Speaking of shots, when you land a headshot, expect to see a purple skull pop up on the screen to mark your mad aiming skills!
How to Get the Reaver: For those who can’t get enough of the Reaver, you can purchase the entire bundle for 7,100 VP or just the individual Reaver skin for 1,775 VP. Any extra colors will cost 15 Radiant Points each.

2. Glitchpop

Pink, and teal, and gold, oh my!

This skin is so much fun it’s ridiculous! With all the bright colors and lighting outlining the entire body of the Vandal, the Glitchpop skin just takes the popular gun to a whole new level. Fire at enemies and enjoy the unique technological sound effects that are synced to reloading (trust me, you’ll get addicted). Complete with three additional colorways, you can get the Glitchpop in its original colors or in a blue, red, or dark variant- meaning that there’s a little something for everyone, no matter what your favorite color may be.

Headshot Animation: With an amazing little unicorn head that shows up when snagging headshots, this skin is a fan favorite for good reason!
How to Get the Glitchpop: You can purchase the entire Glitchpop bundle from the Valorant Store for 8,700 VP, or the individual Vandal skin for 2,175 VP. Just like all the other guns, if you want a different colorway, you can snag them for 15 Radiant Points each!

1. Prime

All hail, the Prime.

The Prime may not have a fancy sound when you move it in the air like the Sovereign and Reaver, but it has so many other amazing features that it simply has to land at number 1 on this list. Not only are the color scheme and body design stunning, but the reloading animation is incredible! Pop open the gun and reload with glowing charges to prepare for the next wave of enemies. Once they show up and you begin shooting, you’ll hear that the Vandal now has a laser tone that brings a futuresque element to the gun that I can’t get enough of. Just like the other skins, Prime has multiple colorways that you can purchase in addition to its original purple, black, and white theme. These colors are orange, blue, and yellow variations.

Headshot Animation: When landing a headshot, a wolf howl can be heard in the distance and a small wolf emblem pops up on the screen to celebrate your amazing kill with the Prime.
How to Get the Prime: You can snag the Prime either individually from the Valorant Store for 1,775 VP or through the entire Prime bundle for 7,100 VP. The different skin upgrades will cost an additional 15 Radiant Points each.
