10 Magepunk Ghost

The Magepunk Ghost skin is one perfect for the steampunk fans out there. The design sends one on a trip to a world where technology and magic meet to create an elegant, deadly weapon. Unlocking the VFX with Radianite gives the gun a satisfying sound that makes it seem like your bullets are whipping through the air at the speed of lightning.

Every skin’s upgrade can be unlocked with ten Radianite.

The special animation you can unlock makes the gun even better with the bullet shells being discarded from a slot on top every time you fire. This makes it truly look like it were a genius wizard’s invention. The Finisher encases your enemy in a glass vat as if they were your latest experiment.

9 Ruination Ghost

The Ruination collection is pretty famed among the Valorant players, and the Ghost skin from it is another excellent option you could add to your collection. Its design comes in four colors, and it looks like a gun that encases a strange misty substance.

One of its upgrades is a VFX that gives the gun a mystical flash from its muzzle each time it is fired. Another VFX available for this skin causes it to emit a dark aura when it is brought out and a new reload animation. For its Finisher, the enemy becomes possessed by a League of Legends character named Viego.

8 Gaia’s Vengeance Ghost

Gaia’s Vengeance is undoubtedly one of Valorant’s most eye-catching skin lines, and the Ghost from the collection is particularly popular within the community. Its design turns the ghost into a gun-shaped crystal encased in wood.

One VFX this skin has is an a glowing flash from its muzzle paired with an ethereal sound effect when it is fired. Another VFX allows the ghost to gleam beautifully under the light. The Finisher is very grand with the enemy turning into a large tree upon being defeated.

7 Valiant Hero Ghost

The Valiant Hero Ghost is inspired by Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, a Chinese novel. This skin comes in four color variants: Black with gold trimmings, Sunset, Dusk, and Night, and the beautiful ornate textured design it has truly makes it stand out.

Upgrading this skin gives the muzzle a glow each time the gun is fired, paired with a light metallic sound effect. Unlocking the animation will give the gun a glow effect and it will also emit mist. The Finisher is impressive with Sun Wukong coming to seemingly finish the enemy off with an epic series of moves.

6 Singularity Ghost

The Singularity Ghost sports a sleek, simple design that makes it look much like a gun made of cosmic energy fragments. The glow it emits from the cracks gives it its mysterious character. When upgraded, a ball of cosmic energy can be seen at the tip of the muzzle each time the gun is fired.

Getting the gun’s animation will have its fragments hover over the crystal body each time the gun is brought out. The Finisher summons the cosmos behind the enemy, with a black hole of cosmic energy that pulls them in.

5 Radiant Entertainment System Ghost

The Radiant Entertainment System Ghost is one for the fans of retro themes. This skin comes in three colors, and it features the buttons of a handheld gaming console. It’s design is bright and fun, almost looking like a toy instead of the deadly weapon it is.

The different game cartridges that are loaded into each gun depends on the skin variant unlocked. The three different cartridges are Bazooka Badger, Dance Fever, and K.nock O.out!!

The first upgrade of the skin gives it a fun gunfire sound, reminiscent of the sound effects from retro games. Pixel blocks will also flash from the muzzle each time you fire. Unlocking the animation wraps the gun in a pixelated finish. The Finisher differs per color, each featuring a different game rewarding you with a fun display after the final kill.

4 Evori Dreamwings Ghost

If you like a dreamy and magical aesthetic, the Evori Dreamwings Ghost is the skin to go for. This adorable gun gives the ghost a pretty crystalline body with its muzzle being a floating crystal shard. It even has a few hearts decorating it in multiple spots.

The sound effect that can be unlocked is equally adorable, with a light magical sound, chimes, and a flash of a heart with every bullet fired. Unlocking the animation will cause a cute creature to come out when you inspect the gun. The Finisher has four magical companions taking the last enemy into another realm.

3 XERØFANG Ghost

The Xerofang Ghost is another beautiful design that gives the gun a sleek metallic coat with geometric textures. The sound effect you can unlock gives it what can be described as a less sharp gunfire sound with a glowing flash at the end of the muzzle when it is fired.

The animation makes the gun’s textures move and it’ll also emit a thin line of smoke when the gunfire is spammed. For its Finisher, the victim explodes into crystal fragments which forms a dragon head.

2 Sovereign Ghost

The Sovereign Ghost gives the gun a smooth pearl-like finish with four different color options. It is lined with sleek metal design all over. One of the VFX that the skin has gives it a colored flash at the end of the muzzle when fired. It will also emit smoke, making it seem like the gun heats up with every shot.

Another VFX gives the gun a glow all over and gemstone in the back glows after a kill. The Finisher summons a large glowing greatsword that falls onto the enemy, obliterating them from existence.

1 Reaver Ghost

The Reaver Ghost can be described as a skin that looks like it was designed by Omen. It has sharp edges all over and a bandage around its grip. Unlocking its VFX gives its gunfire a dark and mysterious sound and a shadowy animation that pops at the end of its muzzle.

The animation causes a wave of shadows to go over the gun, and reloading will use telekinesis. Its Finisher will cause the enemy to be dragged through a dark portal that opens from a rune on the ground by several arms.
