Valorant's weapon skins have some of the most unique designs when it comes to the online multiplayer genre. The developers make sure to give a different spin to their skins every time. Valorant's skins have always been tied to a theme ranging from Sci-fi, comic book aesthetic, and even anime. These skins are usually priced high but end up becoming some of the most prominent in the community.
The developers also make sure to take note of these favorites and give them a '2.0' version, wherein weapons that weren't included in the first version get a skin as well.
Recently, Valorant did its first 3.0 version with the Magepunk collection, which was positively received. The game has more collections that could definitely use a 3.0 version. Below is a list of five such Valorant skins that deserve a 3.0 collection.
