While many failed to make a mark, some skins left quite an impression, making them worthy of being featured in a \u201cbest of all time\u201d list. There are over 60 weapon skin collections\u2014and counting\u2014in\u00a0VALORANT, each containing a number of gun and melee skins alongside other themed cosmetics. While most are eligible for the daily shop rotation, some were exclusive time-limited grabs. Considering you\u2019re here to reminisce (or know) about the best\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0skins we\u2019ve gotten so far, let\u2019s get to the list, shall we? Here's our ranked list, starting with the very best. Best VALORANT skins of all time 1) Reaver Flaunting a dark, mysterious design, subtle yet enticing animations and sound effects, Reaver is arguably the best weapon collection in\u00a0VALORANT.\u00a0 Released in two stages, the collection contains skins for almost all popular weapons, including the Sheriff, Ghost, Spectre, Guardian, Vandal, Phantom, Odin, and Operator, as well as two melee skins. I always loved how perfect headshots feel with all Reaver skins.\u00a0 2) Prime Prime skins are a close second-best, with its smooth sound effects that make both spraying and one-taps appear satisfying. It was one of the earliest weapon collections released in\u00a0VALORANT, but continues to hold a special place in most of our hearts.\u00a0 Like Reaver, the Prime collection released in two parts, featuring skins for the Classic, Frenzy, Bucky, Spectre, Guardian, Vandal, Phantom, and Odin. The collection also features two melee skins, but it\u2019s the Karambit that leaves the bigger impression. 3) RGX Pro 11z Despite the fact that VALORANT isn\u2019t pay-to-win, most players hail the RGX Pro 11z skins as \u201caimbot,\u201d thanks to the smooth, distinguished feel that the sci-fi, modern gaming theme brings to the table. While the huge collection contains skins for the Classic, Frenzy, Stinger, Spectre, Guardian, Vandal, Phantom, and Operator, I adore the RGX Vandal\u2014it feels like a headshot machine if you are the one tap kind. Not just guns, but the RGX 11z Pro also hosts two equally riveting melee skins to choose from: a blade and a butterfly knife. 4) Gaia\u2019s Vengeance Popularly known as the tree skins, the Gaia\u2019s Vengeance collection offers some of the prettiest looking, nature-hugging cosmetics in VALORANT you\u2019d definitely want in your inventory. I adore how the gun skins are designed to make them look like tree barks with leaves and creepers growing out of them and the sweet and subtle sounds they make when inspected, reloaded, or equipped.\u00a0 Gaia offers skins for the Ghost, Shorty, Bucky, Marshal, Spectre, Guardian, Vandal, and Phantom. As enticing as the gun skins are, however, I\u2019m not a fan of any of the melee skins Gaia has to offer\u2014 there are much better melee skins to pick at that price range. 5) VALORANT Champions 2021 The only time-limited collection in this list, the\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0Champions 2021 bundle, as its name suggests, was launched to celebrate the year-end tournament. It included a Karambit melee and a Vandal skin, and I can vouch that anyone who doesn\u2019t own the bundle, including myself, regrets it. Whether it\u2019s the mild yet powerful sound and video effects or the magnificent form-changing finisher, the Champions 2021 Vandal has little to no match. The Karambit isn\u2019t as much of a stunner as the Vandal skin, but being a time-limited skin, it\u2019s still a catch.\u00a0 6) Spectrum The Spectrum collection was created as part of the only content collaboration Riot ever initiated with a celebrity, and boy, was that one hell of a collaboration. I\u2019m sure I speak for everyone when I say Riot needs to collaborate with other celebrities for more inspired\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0skins. Those who purchased the entire collection definitely got a hole burnt in their pockets, but one look at the skins and their sound design, and everything feels totally worth it. Spectrum offers skins for the Classic, Bulldog, Guardian, Phantom, as well as an elegant melee skin: Waveform. 7) Kuronami I\u2019m a big fan of well-designed finishers, and\u00a0the Kuronami collection\u00a0sets a strong example. Killing the last enemy with a Kuronami skin will literally change your\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0game's weather from the bright and sunny (or cold and snowy) into a peaceful, melancholic stormy setup.\u00a0 Not just the finisher, but the skins feature animations I want to keep triggering throughout the game. Yes, it has ended up distracting me on several occasions, but switching from the Kuronami double kunai melee to a Kuronami skin is a thrilling transition to watch\u2014no cap.\u00a0 Other notable mentions Radiant Entertainment System Imperium Sovereign\/Forsaken Araxys","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/KuronamiVandal-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1094774"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1094774"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1094774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1094874,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1094774\/revisions\/1094874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1094827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1094774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1094774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1094774"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1094774"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1094774"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1094774"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1094774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
