In Valorant, there are two kinds of skins. The first, cheaper skins only alter the appearance of the associated gun, which is what most FPS players are used to. The second, more expensive kinds of skins are those that, on top of changing appearance (through multiple variants), add legitimate special animations, unique sound effects, and finisher sequences.
These, the second kind of skins, set the standard high and distinguish Valorant from games that rely on low-effort skins to generate revenue from microtransactions. Let’s dive deep into the top five best skins ranked for each gun in Valorant, starting from everyone’s favorite; The Classic!
