In a game in which gunplay plays a role as major as it does in Valorant, it is important to keep ahead of the competition by leveraging the economic advantage to outgun your opponents. There is one weapon that has traditionally been the premier assault rifle of choice that allows you to do just that – the ubiquitous Vandal. This gun combines range, relentless rate of fire and overwhelming damage to be crowned the best gun in the game. That’s why it’s important to some players to outfit their favorite gun with a cool skin. For that reason, in this guide, we’ll examine the 10 best Vandal skins.

Still one of the best skin lines in the game, Elderflame has its own Vandal variant. The draconic theme fits perfectly with the aggressive assault rifle, and the dragon spewing flaming bullets is sure to send your enemies packing. Plus, that reload animation is always so much fun to see.

Of the many colorful and neon skin collections in the game, Glitchpop is perhaps the most well done. Despite the chaotic colors and animations, it all just “fits” together. The Vandal version is especially cool, with the four color variants each distinct in their own way, so you’re essentially getting four skins for the price of one.

The interplay between chitinous and organic elements of this skin has a very Zerg vibe (or Tyranid, for the cultured). That makes this particular variant of the Vandal a very cool sight to see, especially because for whatever reason there are not many of them around in general play — and that’s a shame.

There are a lot of gothic and baroque elements that make this skin look both classy and sinister at the same time. And the combination of the red and black color scheme has simply always worked in any medium, and this is no different. So, hunting spooky monsters or other players in Valorant — this skin makes no difference whichever it is.

The Origin skin line features futuristic skins with sleek lines combined with circular elements that break the surface. The especially cool element of these skins is the ‘Inspect’ animation, which sort of disassembles the weapon. The sound effects that go along with this skin are top-notch as well.

The entirety of the Prelude to Chaos collection is filled with sci-fi elements. There are not many skin lines that completely change almost everything about a weapon, but this is one of them. The top-down reloading animation is a special highlight, as well as the beam-light changing as you swing corners looking to pre-fire at a target.

Another old favorite, the Reaver collection has had an update since it’s been introduced to the game. However, it is still as jagged, malevolent, and edgy looking, and that’s why it’s one of the most popular collections in the game. So it’s definitely a good thing that it also has a Vandal variant.

This is one skin that does not work as a picture but has to be seen to experience the full effect. There is a slowly changing microcosm of landscapes that takes place while you move between shadow and light areas of the map. The animation is smooth and absolutely beautiful to look at.

Belonging to one of the older collections released in Valorant, Titanmail still looks awesome even if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that some of the newer skins have. It was also one of the first skins to feature a shifting texture and is always great to see one in game.
Wasteland Vandal

And to round out our list, the awesome-looking Wasteland Vandal looks like it’s straight out of post-apocalyptic wasteland movie. Clearly inspired by Mad Max and similar stories, the skin looks cobbled together into a very dangerous and effective weapon — which perfectly suits the Vandal, as that’s exactly what it is.
