The Vandal is by far the most commonly-used weapon in Valorant, as this iconic assault rifle is what a majority of players will use over the Phantom as their main weapon during a full buy round. So, of all the weapons in Valorant, this is the one that it makes the most sense to get a skin for.?

Riot know this, of course, and so they have produced dozens of fantastic Vandal skins for you to pick from. But if you want to spend the big-bucks and get something flashy, how much will it cost you? Here are the most expensive Vandal skins in the entire game.?

Elderflame Vandal (2475 VP / $26)?

The Elderflame was the first of the Ultra-tier skins, and was for a long time the most expensive skin in the game. You can certainly see how much effort they’ve put into this weapon, which feels alive in your hands when you play.?

Unfortunately, the Elderflame skin simply hasn’t aged nearly as well as other top skins from that time. And nowadays, it is far more common to find a Prime Vandal than an Elderflame. Still, the Elderflame has held onto its premier price tag.?

Evori Dreamwings Vandal (2475 VP / $26)?

The Evori Dreamingwings Vandal is the second Ultra skin in the game, after the Elderflame, and also costs 2475 VP. As with the Elderflame, this skin feels “alive”, thanks to the cute little creature that sits where the optic would be, and who dances around the weapon when you inspect.

This skin is expected to remain popular for much longer than the Elderflame however, with the animations, sound effects, and Finisher being instant hits with the community. Of course, for some it’s too cutesy, but for most this Vandal is a top five skin.?

Champions 2021 Vandal (2675 VP / $28)?

Now we get to the two most expensive Vandal skins in the entire game: the two Champs Vandals. First, we will take a look at the 2001 edition.?

These Champion Vandals were released during the 2021 and 2023 VCT Championships respectively, and they pay homage to Valorant esports. Luckily, the skins are well-worth the high price tag of 2675 VP, and come with fantastic Finishers that feature snippets of music from each year’s Champs anthem.??

Champions 2023 Vandal (2675 VP / $28)?

This is the second of the two Champs Vandals, and in our opinion it is the cleaner, better-looking of the two. Also, it has an amazing effect where the weapon glows gold when you are top-fragging.

Yep, we think these skins are worth every penny, but even if you wanted to spend big, you can no longer buy either of the Champs Vandals. Unlink every other skin, the Champs weapons do not reappear in the shop, which makes them feel even more exclusive.?

After the four skins listed here, there are about a dozen “Premium” tier Vandal skins that come in at 2175VP, like the Prelude to Chaos and the Sentinels of Light. In that tier, we have some fantastic skins, but they don’t have the extravagant Finishers or insane animations as the Vandals above.?

Will you be buying one of Valorant’s most expensive Vandals? Or will you settle for something cheaper from the Night Market??
