Best Vandal Skins In Valorant

In Valorant, there are various skin collections that make it possible for you to customize the different weapons and improve the visual experience. You can generally purchase skins via the in-game store by spending Valorant Points – known as VP – or wait for the developers to introduce the Night Market to get them at a discount.

Get the best cool-looking Machine Gun with these skins.

Vandal is one of the most potent firearms in the tactical first-person shooter, and it can take down enemies with a single shot to the head. To give your Vandal a bit of personality and replace the Default (Black) variant, you can go ahead and spend your VP on these top skins.

Updated on January 16, 2025 by Daniyal Sultan Malik: After the last update back in February 2024, Riot has added a plethora of new Vandal skins to Valorant from all editions — Select, Deluxe, Premium, Exclusive, and Ultra. Although not all the newer skins are complete showstoppers, there are a few standouts, so we’ve added them here.

Champions 2023 Vandal

Edition: Exclusive

• Collection: Champions 2023.
• Released: August 2023.
• Price: 2,675 VP.

Even after the successful launch of the Champions 2021 Vandal, the successor in the Champions 2023 bundle surpasses it in almost every way. This Vandal skin is everything a Champions skin should have — a bold color scheme and SFX, the signature glow, and, of course, an iconic Inspect animation.

Like every new Champions skin, you get a stunning aura on the Vandal when you’re the MVP. However, a finer detail you’ll pick up is the beating VCT symbol when you’re the last person standing, replicating your increased heartbeat as you secure a clutch. Other than that, the skin’s looks and sounds truly speak for themselves, and the Finisher is truly spectacular.

18

Champions 2021 Vandal

Edition: Exclusive

• Collection: Champions 2021.
• Released: November 2021.
• Price: 2,675 VP.

The Champions 2021 Vandal was the start of the Champions lineup and its exclusivity. As such, it’s no surprise this skin is heralded as one of the most influential in the game. You can listen to the Finisher and Inspect animation’s music for hours and still not get bored.

However, the skin isn’t without its flaws — despite being the most expensive Vandal skin of all time, it retains the default body and shooting sound. It’s also lacking the creative Easter eggs that later Champions skins incorporate, but, nonetheless, this Vandal’s sheer impact makes it a noteworthy mention.

17

Evori Dreamwings Vandal

Edition: Ultra

• Collection: Evori Dreamwings.
• Released: June 2024.
• Price: 2,475 VP.

The magical and ethereal aspect of the Evori Dreamwings Collection is a thematic dream, and the Vandal skin in this bundle is no different. The mascot accompanying you during the game and Inspect animation is, by far, the best part about the skin, showcasing a bit of character that few modern Vandal skins have.

If you’re someone who adores fantasy-inspired cosmetics, it doesn’t get better than the Evori Dreamwings Vandal. The skin is similar to the Elderflame Collection in many ways, focusing on one theme and putting extra effort into it for immersion. Unfortunately, that similarity also carries over to the price, since it’s among the most expensive Vandal skins in the game.

16

Arcane Vandal

Edition: Exclusive

• Collection: Arcane 2.0.
• Released: November 2024.
• Price: 2,175 VP.

There’s only a handful of Vandal skins whose sound effects are so crisp that they almost feel like aimbot. The Arcane Vandal is one of them, with a snappy and precise shooting sound that’s neither underwhelming nor too distracting. It’s a huge improvement over the Arcane Sheriff from the prior bundle, and the changes definitely stand out in the heat of battle.

Visually, the Arcane Vandal is a dynamic piece, with moving energy tubes and a dragon-like head at the end reminiscent of the Elderflame Vandal. The Inspect animation is comedic and fits well with the Arcane theme, and, as a whole, it makes the gun extremely satisfying to use and shoot.

15

Magepunk Vandal

Edition: Premium

• Collection: Magepunk 3.0.
• Released: May 2023.
• Price: 1,775 VP.

Following the two initial Magepunk bundles, a third one was released in Episode 6, bringing the much-awaited Magepunk-themed skins for the Vandal and Phantom to Valorant. This Steampunk-based collection is fairly popular within the community, with the sound effects being the main highlight.

The overall aesthetics offered by the Magepunk Vandal are also pretty amazing, and you can customize the experience even further by unlocking the different colors: Green, Black/Red, and Yellow. With the collection being of the Premium rarity, you will have to end up spending 1,775 VP inside the game to get this particular skin.

14

Sentinels Of Light Vandal

Edition: Exclusive

• Collection: Sentinels of Light.
• Released: July 2021.
• Price: 2,175 VP.

Sentinels of Light Vandal is another incredible Vandal skin you will enjoy trying inside Valorant. The community has a mixed preference towards this skin, with many players loving the feel it offers, whereas a set of others are not major fans.

Regardless, there are no disagreements regarding the finisher, which appears to be simply wonderful, making the satisfaction of getting the final kill a different kind of joy. It is also one of the few Vandal skins featuring a pink color, so getting this will be a great addition to any themed collection you may be creating.

13

Valiant Hero Vandal

Edition: Premium

• Collection: Valiant Hero.
• Released: October 2023.
• Price: 1,775 VP.

Valiant Hero Vandal, otherwise recognized as the Monkey King Vandal, was made available to players in October 2023 as part of patch 7.09. Aside from the Vandal, the collection featured a few other excellent skins for the Ghost, Operator, Ares, and Melee.

Even though the overall looks aren’t particularly amazing, the animations of the Valiant Hero Vandal make it a decent option for the weapon in Valorant. Additionally, the sound effects are pretty solid. Accordingly, you may consider buying the Valiant Hero Vandal for a price of 1,775 VP whenever it appears in your in-game store.

12

Oni Vandal

Edition: Premium

• Collection: Oni 2.0.
• Released: March 2023
• Price: 1,775 VP.

Oni stands out as one of the most iconic collections in the history of Valorant, with the Phantom from the original release being among the favorites for most players. In March 2023, the legacy of Oni was continued, and Riot ended up introducing a second set of themed skins, which included the Oni Vandal.

• Released: April 2021

Neptune Vandal is a solid choice for you to try out, and it was released into the popular first-person shooter with the 4.10 patch in May 2022. The specific skin comes in two variants — the default Neptune (White) and Neptune Black — with the former being generally preferred.

In spite of the fact that Neptune Vandal doesn’t have fancy animations like most other popular skins, its sound effects make it among the best. You can check it out in-game and fall in love with how good it actually sounds.
