Valorant is well-known for its beautifully designed skin collections. The game has introduced a plethora of skin bundles for players to choose from in Episode 5.

However, some of these skin bundles are often overlooked. This is mostly because Premium and Deluxe skin lines have a certain charm that attracts most players to them.

Run it Back with a stacked collection of hand-picked skins. Available from 07/27 to 08/10.

Having said that, there are many underrated skins in the game that can provide equally alluring animations. This article lists the most undervalued skin bundles in Valorant that deserve more recognition.

Gaia's Vengeance, Doodle Buds and 3 other Valorant skin collections that are criminally underrated

1) Sarmad

Skin release: Patch 5.01
Cost: 5100 VP
Availability: Deluxe

The Sarmad is a terribly underrated skin collection in Valorant. It is based on Egyptian mythology, and its appearance accurately depicts the culture.

Unfortunately, the guns in this bundle do not provide any animations. This is one of the reasons why players do not opt for it.

The shifting dunes have uncovered something special for your collection. Pick up the Sarmad collection now.

However, the Blade of Serket provides an upgradable in-game action animation, where players duel-wield the blades. The melee weapon represents the Egyptian goddess of fertility.

2) Gaia's Vengeance

Skin release: Patch 4.04
Cost: 7100 VP
Availability: Premium

Gaia's Vengeance is a forest enchantment-inspired skin collection. It is a perfect mixture of mystery, magic and witchcraft.

Many players in the community overlooked the collection due to the availability of other more appealing skins at the time.

The weapon skins in the bundle come with upgradable animations and a showstopper finisher. A melee axe is also included in the collection.

3) Endeavour

Skin release: Patch 4.05
Cost: 2930 VP
Availability: Select

The Endeavour collection does not come with extra bells and whistles. It is based on spacecraft objects and has a sci-fi theme.

Each and every weapon skin in this bundle is value for money. The collection is cheap but can arguably compete with premium skins in the game.

However, the bundle does not include a knife, animations or finishers.

4) Doodle Buds

Skin release: Patch 4.07
Cost: 6992 VP
Availability: Premium

It is safe to say that Doodle Buds is one of the most unique-looking skin collections in Valorant. It has cute doodles featuring Tactifriends from the game and other characters from League of Legends.

The weapons come with some adorable animations. The bundle itself has three different colors and art sets.

5) Neptune

Skin release: Patch 4.10
Cost: 7100 VP
Availability: Premium

The Premium Neptune bundle is one of a kind in Valorant. It has aquatic-themed weapon skins that can be upgraded for sound effects and animations.

Little details, such as the ADS (Aim Down Sights) being an Octopus, make the skin collection unique. The melee weapon is quite literally a ship anchor.

The Neptune bundle is, by far, one of the best experiments by Riot Games and deserves more attention.
