As of this writing, Riot Games has released over 50 different Vandal skins in VALORANT. Among all the skins, some are renowned for their animations, some for their appearances, and some for their features. Although it was tough to narrow it down to a handful, these are our top 15 choices of the best Vandal skins currently available in the game.

15. RGX 11Z Pro Vandal
RGX Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | October 5, 2021 (patch 3.07) |
Edition | Exclusive |
Price | 2175 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Green, Red, Blue, Yellow |
We have a very mixed opinion of the RGX 11z Pro Vandal skin. The skin looks pretty ordinary when you see it from afar. However, it kinda looks cool while using it. Overall, the color variants of the RGX bundle do not impress us that much. So, for now, we’ll keep this Vandal at number 15 position.
14. Forsaken Vandal
Forsaken Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | April 27, 2021 (patch 2.08) |
Edition | Premium |
Price | 1775 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Green, Gold |
Forsaken is one of the oldest collections in the game. Although Forsaken Vandal was really popular and trendy at the time, there are way better options nowadays. However, old players like us still have a soft corner for this Vandal as it is connected to some of our nostalgic VALORANT moments. So, we’ll still honor the skin by keeping it on our list. But hey, it’s a great skin nonetheless.
13. Neptune Vandal
Neptune Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | May 24, 2022 (patch 4.10) |
Edition | Premium |
Price | 1775 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | White, Black |
The base level of Neptune looks all okay. However, the main attraction of the Vandal comes when you upgrade it to Level 2. When you upgrade it, the Vandal literally looks like a portable aquarium. Not to mention, the bullet sound of this gun is also satisfying.
12. Kuronami Vandal
Kuronami Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | January 9, 2024 (patch 8.00) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2375 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Blue, Purple, White, Black |
We love the Kuronami Vandal in every way. The color combination, the sword-like feature carved into the body, the vivid Japanese text on top of it — you name it. But the only drawback we could find with the weapon was how much it cost and how much it looked like a Reaver Vandal. So, for now, we’ll put Kuronami Vandal in the top 12th spot.
11. Prelude to Chaos Vandal
Prelude to Chaos Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | June 22, 2022 (patch 5.00) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2175 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Black, Green, White, Blue |
When you look at the Prelude to Chaos skin from the side, it looks like an ordinary sci-fi Vandal. However, once you get hold of the skin in the game, your perspective of this badass Vandal will change. The animation, sound, and feel of the skin will make you want to buy it; at least, that was the case for us.
10. Origin Vandal
Origin Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | June 8, 2021 (patch 2.11) |
Edition | Premium Edition |
Price | 1775 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Gold, Green, Red, White |
Origin Vandal is one of our favorite Vandals only because of its insanely unique inspect animation. We’ll have to admit that we’ve died so many times just to inspect the weapon, but it was worth it.
9. Sentinels of Light Vandal
Sentinels of Light Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | July 20, 2021 (patch 3.02) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2175 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Gold, Pink, Green, Blue |
We particularly put Sentinels of Light Vandal on this list because of its intricate theme, with gold-silver accents and a rotating crystal like the rifle barrel. Moreover, it is one of the most loved Vandal skins by the community, so how could we ignore them?
8. Araxys Vandal
Araxys Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | January 10, 2023 (patch 6.00) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2175 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Brown, Purple, Black, White |
There are two types of VALORANT fans: ones who like Araxys and ones who don’t. To us, Araxys falls somewhat in the middle. The Vandal looks cool, sure. However, sometimes, it can become too distracting.
7. ChronoVoid Vandal
ChronoVoid Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | September 20, 2022 (patch 5.06) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2175 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Grey, Purple, Red, Black |
If we’re talking about Vandal’s design and sound, reload animation ChronoVoid is ahead in every department. For some reason, holding ChronoVoid Vandal feels special to us.
6. Glitchpop Vandal
Glitchpop Vandal | Description |
---|---|
Release Date | February 2, 2021 (patch 2.02) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2175 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Pink, Blue, Red, Gold |
If you’re into Cyberpunk or Neon themes, then the Glitchpop Vandal is the one for you. There aren’t many skins that feature these types of themes. Even without the theme, the glitchy skin, the animation, and the shooting sound make the skin one of the greatest.
5. Ion Vandal

Release Date | October 18, 2022 (patch 5.08) |
Edition | Premium Edition |
Price | 1775 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |

Ion collection has one of the most minimalistic looks compared to other collections. Even then, it is one of the most popular bundles in the game. This is a collection you want to use to improve your gameplay. Moreover, unlike many other collections, the color variants from the Ion Vandal are really cool.
4. Reaver Vandal

Release Date | October 27th, 2020 (patch 1.11) |
Edition | Premium Edition |
Price | 1775 VP |

Reaver is one of the most popular bundles in the game. The Vandal is especially liked by so many people, including the pros and us. The spiky design throughout the body, the handle of the gun, and the spooky aesthetic make the gun so great.
3. Prime Vandal

Release Date | June 2, 2020 (patch 1.00) |
Edition | Premium Edition |
Price | 1775 VP |

The Prime Vandal is one of the oldest and most coveted skins in VALORANT. If you are an OG player, you must like the bundle as it reminds us of our oldest VALORANT memories.

Release Date | July 7, 2020 (patch 1.02) |
Edition | Ultra Edition |
Price | 2475 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |
Color Variants | Purple, Red, Blue, Dark |
The Elderflame skin is the first Ultra Edition skin introduced in VALORARNT, which took the community by storm as it featured a living, fire-breathing dragon. Aside from the dragon factor, it has cool equip and reload animations with a sick finisher.
1. Champions 2023 Vandal

---|---|
Release Date | August 1, 2023 (patch 7.02) |
Edition | Exclusive Edition |
Price | 2675 VP |
Upgradable | Yes |

To us, the Champions 2023 is a work of art. There’s not a single thing that we don’t like about this particular Vandal. The color combination, levels, and finisher can easily overthrow the previous Champions Vandal.
