Valorant is renowned for its plethora of cosmetics, with Vandal skins standing out as some of the most coveted in the game. In this article, I’ll delve into my personal top picks for Vandal skins of all time.
Forsaken
At the top of my list is the Forsaken Vandal, which holds a special place in my heart. I’m particularly drawn to the gold variant, as the sound effects accompanying kills are simply exhilarating. While the green variant doesn’t quite captivate me as much, I find the golden version to be unmatched in terms of auditory satisfaction.
Prime
Following closely behind is the Prime Vandal, a timeless classic that has stood the test of time. Despite being a longstanding feature in the game, it remains one of the most exceptional Vandal skins available. Personally, I find all variants of the skin to be impressive, with the blue and yellow variations holding a special allure. The yellow variant, in particular, resonates with me as it’s favored by BLD yay, a player I’ve long admired—even if he’s fallen from his former glory.
Kuronami
Next up is the Kuronami, a newer addition to the Vandal skin lineup. Despite its recent introduction, it has quickly become a favorite of mine, largely thanks to its association with top-tier player Sen TenZ. Witnessing his pinpoint accuracy with this skin has solidified its place in my heart.
Champions 2021
The Champions 2021 Vandal holds a nostalgic charm for me, despite its relatively recent release in 2021. What sets it apart is the enchanting music it plays, which, in my opinion, surpasses that of its 2022 and 2023 counterparts. While I don’t personally own this skin, I often find myself borrowing it from teammates who do, just to bask in its melodious aura.
RGX
Last but not least, we have the RGX Vandal, a sleek and satisfying choice. The kill sound effect is undeniably gratifying, making it a joy to wield—until, of course, I inevitably experience a string of unfortunate whiffs. Nonetheless, despite its tendency to betray me at crucial moments, I can’t help but appreciate its sleek design and satisfying sound effects.
These are my top five favorite Vandal skins in Valorant, though my preferences may evolve as new skins catch my eye.
