It has been over two years since the release of Valorant, and during this period, it has gone on to become one of the most popular FPS games. What makes the hero shooter a thrill is that players not only require insane aiming skills, but they also need to be smart with their decision-making.
One aspect of enjoying online multiplayer games is purchasing useful in-game items. Many games nowadays allow players to buy character skins, gun buddies, gun skins, and other interesting items to add to the overall appeal of gameplay. With Valorant, players come across some of the most amazing-looking skins in the first-person shooter (FPS) genre.
Players can either purchase skins through bundles when they are released or through their in-game stores. However, most Valorant players buy skins through the Night Market.

5) Magepunk 2.0 Operator
The Magepunk 2.0 collection was released with update 3.10 on November 16, 2021. The collection featured skins for Sheriff, Operator, Guardian, Ares, and Melee.
The Operator in this collection costs 1775 VP (Valorant Points) without any discounts. The steampunk-themed skin comes in four variants, including green, pink, orange, and blue. However, unlike other skins, the variants here only change the color of the electric current within your skin.
The Magepunk 2.0 collection has one of the coolest-looking finishers in the game, which traps the enemy in a chamber hit with electricity.
4) Gaia's Vengeance Ghost
Gaia's Vengeance collection came out during patch 4.04 on March 1, 2022. The collection consisted of skins for Vandal, Marshal, Ghost, Guardian, and Melee.
The Ghost from the collection costs about 1775 VP without discounts. This skin has a 'nature' esthetic to it, with leaves growing out of guns. The skin line came in four variants – red, blue, green, and orange.
Gaia's Vengeance has arguably one of the best sound effects, which makes getting a kill with it that much more satisfying.
3) Reaver 2.0 Odin
The Reaver 2.0 was released during patch 5.03 in August 2022. The collection had skins for Phantom, Spectre, Odin, Ghost, and Melee.

The Odin in Reaver 2.0 has one of the slickest-looking reload animations in the entire game and is easily one of the best skins.
2) Origin Vandal

The Vandal from the collection was priced at 1775 VP without a discount. The Origin collection had a rather clean look to it, while the skin line came with four variants – the base black, green, red, and white.
Apart from its amazing sound effects, the Origin collection also has one of the most unique inspect animations wherein your gun floats between your character's hands.
1) Xenohunter Knife

The Xenohunter Knife was priced at around 3550 VP without any discount. The collection had a 1980-90s sci-fi action movie theme going for it. Unfortunately, this skin does not have variants for any weapons. The Xenohunter Knife also has some interesting bits of in-game animation.
