Updated November 29, 2024 by Maria Antiporda: Valorant constantly updates its collection of skins with new designs. This list has been updated with new skins and new descriptions.

10 Forsaken Operator

Forsaken Operators comes in two color variants, with the default providing a dark and menacing appearance. As for the second variant, it features an appealing white and gold theme, giving it an appearance similar to that of the highly-coveted Sovereign collection.

A VFX upgrade gives the Operator an ethereal gunfire sound effect and a dark, menacing bullet trail after it fires. Another VFX that can be unlocked gives the gun special equip and reload animations, and the gems on it will darken after a kill. The Finisher turns the killed enemy into a Forsaken angel that fades into a flock of birds.

9 Sentinels Of Light Operator

The Sentinels Of Light Operator is a skin that gives the gun a grand and heroic design. One end is a sleek metallic finish, while the other has a gorgeous crystalline look. Its VFX upgrade turns its bullet trail into a long streak of light.

Another upgrade this skin has is an animation where its crystal tip dances around when the gun is pulled out. Its Finisher starts off with the enemy becoming possessed by Viego from League of Legends, before being purified by the mark of the Sentinels.

8 Origin Operator

Origin Operator is one of the most attractive and cleanest-looking skins for the Sniper Rifle. There are several available color options, including black (base), green, red, and white, and each is excellent in its own right.

When the gun animation upgrade is unlocked, the Operator’s design turns into a collection of moving parts. Equipping the gun will cause fragments to float into it, completing its body. Inspecting it will have the gun hovering elegantly in your hands. The Finisher causes the enemy to be seemingly abducted in a beam of light.

7 Mystbloom Operator

The Mystbloom Operator is perfect for snipers who love the idea of a lovely floral design. This skin covers the gun with small flowers and petals of different sizes. It also turns the tip of its barrel into a small bud.

When its animation is unlocked, the flower-shaped scope glows whenever the gun is equipped, and petals float from its body. Its Finisher is one of the grandest in the game, turning the enemy into a large flower surrounded by a small field with petals floating through the air.

6 Radiant Entertainment System Operator

The Radiant Entertainment System Operator is the sniper to choose if you like throwbacks to the retro scene. There are three different color variants to choose from, and when upgraded each gives a unique feel.

What’s great about this skin is that each inspect animation is unique and themed according to the game cartridge inserted in the gun.

The upgraded base variant emits a burst of pixels when fired. Dance Fever flashes a circle of arrows from dancing games. The K.nock O.ut!! variant has a pixelated flash when it fires. Each also has a different Finisher, each according to the game cartridge found under each gun.

5 Prelude To Chaos Operator’

The Prelude To Chaos is another awesome choice of skin for the Operator. What makes this skin stand out is the sound of the gunfire that comes with unlocking the VFX. When upgraded, the Operator fires a loud blast accentuated by fiery visual effects.

When the animation is unlocked, several parts of the gun emit a glow and energy starts flowing through the barrel. Inspecting and reloading the gun also has you unlocking the mechanism tucked in the heart of the Operator. The Finisher is also eye-catching, with the enemy getting trapped in chains and forcibly pulled underground.

4 Valiant Hero Operator

The Valiant Hero Operator is perfect for those fond of an Eastern feel. Inspired by the Monkey King, this skin comes in a beautiful ornate design that makes it look expensive. One interesting part of the gun is the barrel, which is actually the staff of the Monkey King.

The Valiant Hero Operator was inspired by the character Sun Wukong from the novel Journey to the West.

The three other color variants are themed according to different times of the day specifically Sunset, Dusk, and Night, each having a gorgeous view to match along the side of the gun. The Finisher is very grand with the Monkey King coming to deal the final blow to the enemy with a series of cool moves.

3 Araxys Operator

The Araxys collection was released in early 2023, and all its skins, including the Operator, have won the hearts of the game’s community. When upgraded, the pull-out animation causes the geometric surface to float before settling onto the gun’s body. Also, the sound of its gunfire makes an awesome blast when upgraded.

The Araxys Operator is offered in four distinct colors: default, purple, black, and silver. All of them are visually appealing, particularly the black one. The Finisher is grand with every single body felled by the Operator being abducted by a beam of light.

2 Elderflame Operator

The Elderflame Operator is widely considered to be the finest Operator skin inside Valorant. The option is particularly appealing due to its dragon-based theme, and you will indeed like using it as a result of the unique in-game animations that it offers.

A unique feature of the gun is the sound effect, turning its gunfire into a dragon’s roar.

The VFX is a must for this gun with the upgrade turning the Operator’s bullets into balls of fire shot straight from the dragon’s mouth. The animation is also impressive making it look like you’ve summoned a dragon that lets you wield it for its deadly firepower. The awesome Finisher causes a dragon to engulf its victim in a breath of flames.

1 Reaver Operator

The Reaver is among the most instantly recognizable collections in Valorant, and the Reaver Operator is a great skin you can consider. It sports a dark, regal design that looks very fitting with Omen’s design. When upgraded, dark fire is shot from the barrel with a thin stream of smoke rising from the muzzle.

Upgrading it will cause the designs on it to glow and the reload animation will have you using telekinesis to put in the clip. The Finisher causes the enemy to be pulled into a portal underground by several hands, giving it a truly dark theme.
