VALORANT is known for some very unique in-game skins. Each skin has something very different to that of another bundle in the game. Most of the top skin bundles consist of the Vandal or the Phantom in them. In 2023, we got to see a lot of epic weapon skins. In this article, we will be taking a look at the top 5 skins for Vandal that have been launched into VALORANT in 2023.

The Top 5 Vandal Skins in VALORANT (2023)

One must note that there is a major difference between skins in most FPS games. In a game like Counter-Strike 2, skins are a form of asset that can increase or decrease in price. A player, if they do buy a skin, can later sell it on the Steam Market. At the same time, VALORANT doesn’t allow the trading of purchased skins. The game makes certain skins so exclusive that they become available only during a tournament and remain unavailable for purchase afterwards.

We have excluded Overdrive as it was added into the game in December. Thus, here is our list of the top 5 Vandal skins that launched in 2023.
