Every skin for every weapon, straight from Riot's own game data. Filter by tier, then click a skin for the full showcase — real animated previews where Riot has one, and every color variant.
This gallery mirrors Riot's real weapon skin catalog — every skin's tier, its real render art, and, for the higher tiers that have one, Riot's own animated preview video played directly from their CDN. Nothing here is fan art or a mockup.
True 3D rotation isn't something Riot exposes publicly, so where a skin has a real animated preview it plays inline. Otherwise you get the real high-resolution render and can switch between every official colour variant.
Every skin belongs to one of five tiers, and the tier determines both the price and how much the weapon actually does. Prices below are the standard per-weapon rate in Valorant Points; bundles and special releases vary.
Upgrade levels and colour variants for Premium and Ultra skins are bought separately with Radianite Points, which come from the battle pass rather than direct purchase.
Not statistically. A skinned Vandal deals exactly the same damage, has exactly the same recoil pattern, and fires at exactly the same rate as the default. Riot has been consistent about this and there is no hidden advantage to buying one.
But they do affect what you can see. That part is real and worth thinking about before you spend. Some skins have a noticeably larger muzzle flash or heavier visual effects, which can obscure an enemy's head during a spray at range. Some have busier reload and inspect animations that eat more of your screen. And some have distinctive firing audio that makes it slightly easier for opponents to identify what you are holding.
This is why a fair number of high-level players deliberately run default or visually quiet skins on their main rifle, while saving the flashy ones for weapons they use less. If you are chasing a higher headshot percentage, a cleaner sightline through your own muzzle flash is a genuine, if small, factor — in the same way an oversized crosshair quietly costs you placement accuracy.
Two practical notes. First, skins do not return to the store on a predictable schedule — the daily rotation is randomised from skins you do not own, and the Night Market discounts are random too, so "waiting for it to come back" is not a reliable plan. Second, and less fun to hear: no skin will move your rank. If you are stuck, the bottleneck is a habit, and the hardstuck diagnostic will find it for free.
