16Prime Collection
With its premium white and gold design, the Prime Collection is definitely something to show off. The pristine design, intricate details, and luxurious color scheme make it simple yet beautiful. That said, while its appearance is a major selling point, there’s more to it.
Being one of the top skins for the Vandal, this skin features crisp sound effects. So,getting those one-tapsfeels even more special. However, there is a downside to it. While everything else on this skin is great, its variants are a bit of a letdown. Other than that, the Prime Collection has proved to be a timeless classic.
Satisfying Sound Effect For Shooting And Reloading
Featuring a futuristic look, the Ion collection is a great choice for anyone wanting to keep it simple. But that doesn’t mean that the skin doesn’t pack a punch. Having a sleek color palette of white and blue, the Ion quite easily pulls off one of the best sci-fi skins in the game. It is a perfect example of a skin that does more with less.
With an energized core at its center giving it power, the Ion shoots pulses, decapitating enemies. Similarly, the animations and sound effects revolve around the theme, adding to the cinematic experience. To top it all off, the skin features an amazing finisher where the enemy explodes into a spherical electro-pulse.
Comes With Spectacular Equip Animation And Superb Color Variants
The Araxys bundle is another feat of Riot’s dedication to futuristic designs. Released in 2023, this bundle stole the hearts of the community with its incredible detailing. However, it was the Araxys Operator who took the entire spotlight. With its simplicity and captivating look, the Araxys became ago-to skin for many pro players.
Other than its stunning stock appearance, the skin features some of the best variants that players can unlock. Keeping up with the futuristic theme, the Araxys has a great finisher on it. And, the smooth gun-equipping animations and sci-fi sound effects make it a complete package.
A Classic Skin Collection With Minimal Animations
The Oni collection is the perfect choice for fans who love theJapanese art form. Featuring a clean aesthetic, the Oni has some of the best artwork in the game. The Oni Phantom itself is a mystical piece that offers everything from appearance to sound effects.
While it features amazing artwork, it doesn’t overdo it. So, for anyone looking to keep things simple but classy, the Oni is the perfect choice. And, if the stock red and black variant gets boring, the Oni provides a pristine gold variant to kick things up a notch.
Cyberpunk-Style Weapon Series With Holographic Vision
Being one of the most iconic bundles in the game, Glitchpop 1.0 had beautiful skins for every weapon. However, the Vandal in Glitchpop 2.0 was the most fitting of thefuturistic cyberpunk design. This skin is anything but subtle. Featuring popping neon colors, glitchy aesthetics, and an overall over-the-top appearance, the Glitchpop 2.0 is the go-to skin for making a statement.
Embracing the cyberpunk aesthetic, the finisher on this skin is the icing on the cake. At the final kill, the Vandal explodes the enemy with a digital shockwave, providing a satisfying ending. Overall, the Glitchpop 2.0 is one of the most visually striking skins.
Featuring One Of The Most Innovative Melee Weapons
With so many knife skins available, the category is competitive, to say the least. But, among them, the Celestial Fan stands out with ease. Considering that the knife is a lethal melee weapon, turning it into a fan sounds like a downgrade. But that’s simply not the case.
Relative to its name, the skin features an intricate design showcasing the themes of the cosmos. Combining stunning detail and satisfying sound effects, the Celestial collection is easily one of the most unique skins in the game. On top of that, unlike other knife skins, the Celestial fan offers different variants. So, it never gets boring.
Cute Little Creatures Sitting On Top Of The Scope
There is no need for every collection to feature a badass and aggressive design. Sometimes all needed is a little bit of cuteness, and that’s what Evori Dreamwings delivers. This bundle is packed with five items, all featuring unique cute creatures sitting on top of the weapon.
The color and size of each creature are different from each other, but they are equally lovely, and they wear an aggressive but still cute face when the player starts shooting. Evori Dreamwings is definitely one of the best bundles to chill and be happy!
9Singularity Collection
The Singularity collection is perhaps the most visually stunning weapon skin in the game. Featuring an all-blacked-out look, the skin embraces the concept of black holes. And, expands on it with its incredible animations. When reloaded, the weapon deconstructs and comes back together in one satisfying motion.
Apart from the reloading animations, the Singularity Phantom has some of the best variants players can unlock. Adding to that, the finisher on it is a statement in itself. The Singularity doesn’t just kill the last man standing, it sucks them up into a large black hole and sends them to a dark infinite void.
8Overdrive Collection
Overdrive is one of the underrated skin collections inValorantthat is almost forgotten by the community. The concept is inspired by motorbike racing and the kill tag showcases a helmet.
All weapon skins are infused with an electric shock after reloading that gives it a cool look, but more than the VFX, it is the unique 3D model of weapons that makes Overdrive stand out from other skins. The sound effect is also quite satisfying.
An Extraordinary Design With Jaw-Dropping Animations
Considered by many to be the bestskin for the Operator, the Elderflame is a beast to behold. And, that is meant literally, as it transforms the stock Operator into a fire-breathing creature. The Elderflame features an iconic design with a dragon’s head on the barrel of the gun, making it nothing short of extra.
Keeping up with the dragon aesthetic, the gun inhales fire when reloaded and rains down on the enemies. To match that, the sound effects and animations are extravagant as well. And, to make it a complete package, it features a satisfying finisher that would make anyone feel like a dragon tamer.
