Spectre is one of the most commonly used weapons across all ranks in Valorant's competitive matchmaking. Players have the option of Stinger, in addition to Spectre as their choice for an SMG in Riot Games' popular FPS title.
Costing only 1600 in-game credits, Spectre is the go-to artillery for players in economically dire situations during the game. Its incredible fire rate paired with movement accuracy makes it a popular tool in the game's lower elo.
Valorant has released several exquisite weapon cosmetics since the release of the game. As the game progresses through Act 3 of Episode 3, Sportskeeda lists Specter's five best weapon skins. The mentioned cosmetics are categorized on the basis of their VFX, animations, style, and cost-effectiveness.

The comic-themed line of skins arrived with the update that introduced the latest Act of Valorant. Radiant Crisis skins have a unique animation that displays text in a font similar to comic books.

Variants: Green, Purple, Orange

The initial Magepunk collection featured skins for Spectre, Marshal, Ghost, Bucky, and Melee. The success of the collection pushed Valorant to release a sequel to the bundle. Magepunk skins have a peculiar finisher, which shows the enemy agent being shocked inside a chamber after being eliminated. With a well-detailed body and soothing SFX, Magepunk is a favorable pick for many.
3) Ruination

Variants: Purple, Red/Yellow, Green
Cost: 2175 VP
The Ruination collection is a crossover between Valorant and League of Legends as part of the Sentinels of Light event.

Prime is an iconic collection of skins and is highly preferred among the game's player base, with a sequel being released with a set of skins for weapons that didn't feature in the initial collection.

The collection also features skins for Vandal, Classic, Guardian, and Melee.
