The best weapon skins in VALORANT

VALORANT has been gracing FPS fans’ screens for years now, and the amount of bundles increases exponentially as time goes on. Fortunately, Riot re-introduces some skins through the night market and the store, so if you see any you like, keep an eye out in VALORANT.

VALORANT’s selection of gorgeous weaponry is only highlighted by the number of variations each skin bundle provides. Some players claim certain weapons give them better aim, and while this is obviously not true, it still can be a strong placebo.

Riot has created skin crossovers between titles, and the developers clearly know how to make eye-catching skins. The best part about it, even if you’re bottom fragging, at least you can show off your collection.

Here are the best weapon skins in VALORANT so far.

Sentinels of Light skins

In Riot’s latest League of Legends event, Sentinels of Light, the VALORANT developers have created the game’s first crossover weapon skins with the Sentinels of Light collection. All of these weapons are reminiscent of the golden weapons of Sentinels set to fight off the Ruination in League‘s fictional world of Runeterra. The design, animations, and sound effects for these skins will have any player ready to fight for the light.

The combination of grey and gold glows with the arcane power of light. The variations range from an earthy green to a bubbly pink, allowing players to customize to their heart’s content. The final kill animation is an excellent addition with great audio to follow, providing players with triumphant noise to match their round-winning kills.

When the final VALORANT enemy is killed, they’re sent to their knees with their soul lifted out of their body into the light as they dissipate.

Glitchpop 2.0 skins

The Glitchpop return brought a more futuristic theme to each weapon. Fans of the original bundle were thrilled to find that the Vandal, Phantom, and Operator would be a part of the collection. This is another excellent bundle, featuring bright and fun colors, with some great animations varying depending on your weapon of choice.

Colors go wild on your melee weapon every time a player flicks it out, so quick-switching players absolutely love this bundle. Glitchy sound effects and holographic stickers make the gun unique and provide fans with a futuristic experience each time they’re wielded. The final kill animation is just as extravagant. When your enemy dies, they exploded in a flash of color and become transparent as advertisements project from their body.

Oni skins

The Oni collection, inspired by Japanese history, is a brilliant samurai-themed weapon bundle, which most teammates will pester you to use. The variety in the colors provides a beautiful variety, with blue and white patterns, as well as several other eye-catching styles.

The mask glows on each weapon, and with it growing dimmer with each bullet used, it provides users an easy way to tell if they are low on ammunition. What impressed many people the most, however, is the final kill animation, which features an enemy being stabbed by three katanas while an Oni mask is placed on their face. The animation ends with the opponent being chained down to the ground as a captured demon.
