If you want to play Valorant in style, then chances are you’ve had your eye on new Valorant skins for a while. But if you haven’t, and you’ve simply arrived at this here page with green, envious eyes after playing with a teammate’s Glitchpop Vandal, then don’t worry, we understand – we get jealous too.
There’s something so alluring about a weapon skin. While they’re just digital pieces of artwork slapped onto a weapon of your choice, finally getting a chance to take down that Jett that’s been destroying you every single round with a fancy animated skin is just glorious.
So if you’re here to work out which Valorant skin you’re going to spend your hard earned cash on, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about Valorant skins, including how to pick them up, how much they’ll set you back, and what you’ll need to do over time to upgrade them.
HOW CAN I BUY VALORANT SKINS?
Valorant skins can only be bought in one place – via the in-game store. A collection of the latest skins will be placed in the spotlight for a week or so, but individual skins are refreshed every single day.
You can also earn some skins through the game’s battle pass. These are refreshed with every Act, so make sure you check out each and every tier to see what you can pick up over the course of your Valorant ranked journey.
Valorant skins price
If you’re looking to kickstart your Valorant skins collection, there are a couple of things you should know. Firstly, the skins are priced in tiers and secondly, the top tier can set you back a fair amount.
Here’s what the Valorant skins tiers currently look like:
Edition | Price |
Select Edition |
Single skin: 875 VP (~$10 / £7) Bundle: 2,930 VP (~$34 / £24) / 3,500 VP (~$41 / £29) |
Deluxe Edition |
Single skin 1,275 VP (~$16 / £11) Bundle: 5,100 VP (~$62 / £44) |
Premium Edition |
Single skin: 1,775 VP (~$23 / £16) Bundle: 7,100 VP (~$82 / £59) |
Ultra Edition |
Single skin: 2,475 VP (~$30 / £21) Bundle: 9,900 VP (~$119 / £86) |
Exclusive Edition |
Single skin: price varies Bundle: price varies |
While you might be buying a single skin or a bundle of skins, it’s worth knowing that every skin comes with its own animations, sound effects, and sights. Some can even be upgraded over time, giving you a chance to change the appearance of a weapon.
To do that though, you’ll need to spend Radianite Points – a type of currency you can earn through completing set Battle Pass challenges or through exchanging Valorant Points. Once you have enough RP to upgrade your weapon (this usually costs 10/15 RP per tier), you can head to Collection, select the weapon you wish to upgrade, and select the tiers on the right hand side.
Before you commit to the upgrade though, it’s worth checking out each and every tier since they change your weapons in different ways. Some will change the colour of the gun and others will change the animations.
