VALORANT Vandal skins (2024)

Well, it’s clear which side of the Vandal vs. Phantom debate you’re on (for now, at least). VALORANT’s answer to the AK47, the Vandal, and its unmatched one-tap headshot powers are genuinely next-level satisfying. And so is the selection of elite weapon skins available for this godlike rifle.

The Vandal is one of the most popular weapons in VALORANT for a reason, but that doesn’t mean yours has to look like everyone else’s!

Almost every skin line released comes with a jaw-dropping new Vandal design for the army of admirers this reliable fan-favorite rifle powerhouse has earned. With the Vandal’s never-ending popularity, Riot Games knows the demand for top-notch cosmetics has never been higher.

Now, this post isn’t here to teach you how to pop heads with the Vandal, or to weigh in on the benefits of precise long-distance shots over the Phantom-style spray-and-pray. And no, we won’t be discussing the urban legend believed by many: that some skins give players a competitive advantage.

This post is here to do one thing: guide you through every Vandal skin released since VALORANT’s earliest days, and help you choose the best skin to suit your style. Read on, Vandal lover…

VALORANT Vandal skins (1)

How to buy Vandal skins

In VALORANT, you’ll find currently available skins through the in-game store. Vandal skins are priced between 875 VP and 2675 VP depending on their skin tier – if you have enough VP, just click the purchase button to add the skin to your collection.

If you don’t have enough VP, you’ll be prompted to purchase VP with real-world money to complete your transaction.

~~⚠ Fair warning: if you miss a skin, you’ll have to cross your fingers and pray it hits the store again soon. No, you won’t get these skins for free.

Our advice – when you see a Vandal skin you want, don’t hesitate!~~

The rotating store

The VALORANT store rotates its available skins on a daily basis, and its bundle skin packs every few weeks. So next time you wonder how to get that Prime Vandal skin you’ve been drooling over, remember the trick – timing is everything.

Most skin bundles include a Vandal skin, but be sure to check before you buy. And yes, if you only want the Vandal skin from a bundle, you usually don’t have to buy the full skin pack.

Rumor has it that the only Vandal skins you’ll never see in the daily rotation (or the discounted Night Market) are event-exclusive skins like the Champions Collections, the LOCK//IN skins, the League of Legends Netflix show skins, and the Battle Pass skins.

Yes, this means if a Battle Pass Vandal skin catches your eye, you’d best buy that Battle Pass for 1000 VP and grind it out fast!

Final tip – the only place you’ll only find the Exclusive and Ultra Edition skins is in the daily offers and skin bundles. These top-tier skins never feature in the Night Market discounts.

Top 5 best and cheapest Vandal skins valorant

Notice how most of the best Vandal skins sitting at the top of the tier list are on the more expensive side of things?

Yeah, so did we. That’s why we’re including this section here, for those hunting the best Vandal skins on a budget.

All in this list are considered average to good, but not great skins. Still, none will cost more than 1275 VP…

  1. Luna - 1275 VP
  2. Silvanus - 1275 VP
  3. Wasteland - 1275 VP
  4. Endeavour - 875 VP
  5. Prism II – 875 VP

What about free skins?

If you’re wondering how to get free Vandal skins in VALORANT… don’t hold your breath. The closest you can get to a free Vandal skin is buying a skin bundle and considering the savings as your “free” skin.

It’s possible to get free sidearm skins from Agent progressions with Kingdom Credits, and sometimes players with Prime Gaming get freebies, but you can’t guarantee it’ll be a Vandal skin when those do come around.
