Weapon skins in Valorant are amazing, to say the least. They not only enhance the weapon's visual appeal, but some skins also include audio effects and animations. Players go as far as to claim that they hit shots better with certain skins, but it's all a placebo effect. Using different weapon skins also changes the way the weapon feels while shooting, all thanks to the audio effects.
These weapon skins often come at a price. Starting from 875 VP ($10), they can reach upwards of 2475 VP ($30) per skin. Although Valorant does provide charming skins, they can surely drill a hole in the pocket. By no means are these skins considered cheap. Moreover, these skins appear on a rotation basis. So just because players want a certain skin, they won’t be able to buy it unless it appears in their store.
Five best pocket friendly Vandal skins in Valorant
Vandal is one of the most used weapons in the game. Considered one of the only two best primary weapons in the game alongside the Phantom, Vandal outperforms the Phantom when it comes to raw damage output. Despite firing slower than the Phantom, the Vandal deals more damage and will do 1 shot-headshot kill at any given range.
Vandal is a popular weapon, and it has its own fanbase of Valorant players looking to improve their in-game experience with a new skin for their weapon. Here are the top five picks of the best Vandal skins that players can get on a budget.
1) Gaia's Vengeance Vandal
There are two variations of the Premium edition skin Gaia's Vengeance. The Vandal skin is a part of the 1.0 version, which was made available on March 1st, 2022, along with skins for Marshal, Ghost, Guardian, and Melee. These gun skins come in four different colour variations: orange, blue, green, and default. The cost of each gun skin is 1775 Valorant Points (VP).
The Gaia's Vengeance Vandal in Valorant continues to be one of the community's most well-known skins for this weapon. The magical gems are used to attach the trees that make up the weapon's exterior. Along with a very thrilling kill finisher that sees the last adversary trapped under a magical tree, these skins also include excellent sound effects.
2) Cryostasis Vandal
Released in December 2022, the Cryostasis Premium edition set included skins for the Classic, Operator, Vandal, Bulldog, and Melee. Sadly, there are no more variations available for these weapon skins; just their basic version is offered. The cost of each gun in the collection is 1775 VP.
Since it is the only skin of Vandal in Valorant with a continual impact, the Cryostasis Vandal is special. Over time, the outside of the skin becomes chilly and eventually freezes, turning the skin white. Only once the player fires the weapon will this ice shatter.
3) Forsaken Vandal
A massive jewel-like protrusion that is affixed directly behind the sights is the hallmark of the Forsaken Vandal skin. It's all about royalty on the skin. The sound effects are similar to what you might hear in a country of fiction where there are kings and queens. While it may not be as pleasant as the Prime Vandal or the Reaver Vandal, the skin still provides a good experience.
Additionally, the price of this skin is 1775 VP, or about $23. The skin comes in two variations and four upgrade levels.
4) Reaver Vandal
There is a distinct fan following for this Vandal skin. Highlights of silver and purple (by default) are seen on the Reaver Vandal skin. The skin also has a gothic appearance due to features resembling fangs. The bullet tracers on this skin are what set it apart; they make it simple to follow the shots that are heading in your enemies' direction. To put it mildly, this skin makes a really pleasant sound when it hits a headshot. In addition, the sound effects provide the impression that controlling the weapon's recoil during spraying is simpler.
The Reaver Vandal skin is likewise available for purchase for 1775 VP, or about $23. There are four skin varieties and four upgrade tiers.
5) Valiant Hero Vandal
Released in October 2023, the Valiant Hero Vandal is a Premium edition collection, part of the Valiant Hero bundle which has other weapons skin as well. These skins cost 1775 VP per weapon and come in four different variations: default, Sunset, Dusk, and Night.
Chinese mythology is a major source of inspiration for The Valiant Hero Vandal. The Monkey, or Sun WuKong, is the model for this skin. To top it all off, the weapon comes in four distinct variants and features a faint cloud effect on its exterior. Players may even see the Monkey King appear during the weapon's kill finisher.
Some of the best skins available to players for their Vandal in Valorant are these. They enhance the weapon's handling satisfaction and are reasonably priced. Each of these Vandal skins comes with a bundle that includes buddies, Calling Cards, and additional Valorant weapons.
