Best Vandal skins in Valorant
We’ve ranked the top 10 Vandal skins in Valorant based on various factors. They all cost Valorant Points (converted from real-world currency) so think twice before committing to a skin. However, you can nab discounts, such as during the Night Market, to increase your Vandal collection.
Remember to wait for Night Market price drops
While only older skins tend to get discounts, it’s worth waiting for a Night Market refresh before purchasing a skin.
1. Elderflame Vandal
- Price: 2475 VP
- Collection: Elderflame Bundle
This ultra-tier skin doesn’t come cheap despite it having been around for a while. But if it wasn’t clear already, the Elderflame Vandal practically feels like holding a lethal dragon. It burps fire on a reload and the bullet impact sounds also feel like those of a fire-breathing dragon. Reloading is effectively handing a magazine to the little dragon to hold. It’s easily one of the most striking Vandal skins in the game.
2. Glitchpop Vandal
- Price: 2175 VP
- Collection: Glitchpop Bundle
This one’s for players who love loads of unique animations. With special effects accompanying reloads, gunshots, and finishers, the Glitchpop Vandal quickly rose to the top of players’ wishlists. It also employs a unique glitch effect sound while firing the weapon. Each of its four neon-colour combinations drastically alters the gun’s appearance as well.
3. Araxys Vandal
- Price: 2175 VP
- Collection: Araxys Bundle
This sleek, futuristic rifle comes in third place among Valorant’s Vandal skins. With sci-fi sounds and slick animations, it stands out from the other sci-fi skins. With four colours to pick from, the black-and-red variant is popular among pro players and fans alike. It has a neat finisher animation as well.
4. Reaver Vandal
- Price: 1775 VP
- Collection: Reaver Bundle
As one of the game’s all-time favourites, the Reaver Vandal is a constant in Valorant’s competitive matches. While the base purple variant looks great, the other three options are worth equipping too. You must have seen plenty of pros using one of these during matches so consider getting one yourself. Check out our Valorant tips and tricks guide to boost your skills alongside your skin collection and join the pros.Â
5. Aemondir Vandal
- Price: 1775 VP
- Collection: Aemondir Bundle
One of the latest skin collections added to the game, Aemondir Vandal looks both imposing and intricate. The base black and gold colour combination is always striking, and the large blade underslung beneath the barrel only accentuates the deadliness of this weapon. With further upgrades, you can also get a new sound effect and finisher to complete the set.
6. Crimsonbeast Vandal
- Price: 1775 VP
- Collection: RGX 11z Pro Bundle
This molten fiery skin works perfectly with an aggressive weapon like the Vandal. If you ever go on a rampage and feel like you’re spitting fire – this skin will let you do just that. It looks like it was recovered from some primal volcano, making it a striking visual while fragging. Pair it with the best crosshair codes in Valorant to bump up your kill count.
7. Chronovoid Vandal
- Price: 2175 VP
- Collection: Chronovoid Bundle
This elegant skin finds its place on our list due to its delicate metallic design and moving orb. Its inspect animation is among the best in the game. Among the four colour options, I prefer the pink one but its black-and-gold combo is superb as well. Pick this if you want the eyes of your foes to linger on your weapon as you vanquish them.
8. Forsaken Vandal
- Price: 1775 VP
- Collection: Forsaken Bundle
The Forsaken Vandal comes in two colors but it’s the white-and-gold variant that captured my attention. And with a light aura effect accompanying it, this pick doesn’t overwhelm you with wacky animations. Even the reload and sound effects aren’t too eccentric. Some may prefer the regular version but few Vandal skins can contest with the white one.
9. Origin Vandal
- Price: 1775 VP
- Collection: Origin Bundle
The main draw of the Origin Vandal is its incredible inspect animation. It also has a solid reload animation, with floating discs and halos of light. While the sound effects might not suit everyone, it’s still a solid option for players who want to stand out. It’s cheaper than most Vandal skins too.
10. Sentinels of Light Vandal
- Price: 2175 VP
- Collection: Sentinels of Light Bundle
The Sentinels of Light’s claim to fame is its excellent finisher animation. Its green-and-pink colour option is among the more unique choices in Valorant. The other three colour combinations are great too. The crystal-like sound effects are a mixed bag, but its kill animation is pretty neat.Â
