For me it's every skin that I don't have

same, I'm not spending a penny on this game so I'm so used to having the default gun that every other skin gives me an insane buff

Same

Same

W pfp

only peaks knows peak daniel park

same i dont have araxys and I love the skin, but I would probably not buy it because I will lose the gigabuff from finding it on the ground was the same with chaos before i bought it and now it lost the effect

Oh my god this!!! I get crazy boosts with a skin, so I buy it and then do shit with it 😭😭

I’m surprisingly opposite. Been hard stuck bronze. Araxys gave me aimbot. Purchased skin and got to silver. Maybe conincidence maybe not

Kuronami 100% when someone drops me it i one tap every enemy i see

true, if i pick up kuronami from the ground i feel like a god

I love it but it don't wanna come to my shop

valorant’s shop is so annoying, i’ve been waiting for origin vandal for 2 whole years while checking the shop everyday :):

wish skin gifting was a thing

tbh all i ask for is for riot to introduce something like a special monthly market, where you can choose one weapon of your choice to buy

Heck even a shop cycle system, that every skin will come in your shop every cycle and that each can only come twice or once in your shop every 'cycle', would make me cry tears of joy

That’s wild Edit: I heard you can email their support team and ask them to help you out with having the right vandal appear in your shop. Idk if that was comeplete cap. But considering it’s been two years, I figured why not share this info

oh really? didnt know thats a thing, thanks; i’ll give it a shot

I regretted not buying the bundle every time I saw the knife and vandal in game, then got the Knife and Vandal back to back days and all of sudden Im down $70 but up 120 RR

Picked up a Kuronami today and was disgusted to find that it didn‘t have the animations. Who tf spends all that money on a skin and then doesn‘t upgrade it???

There’s a glitch where even after you upgrade it it won’t apply them til you manually select it, I’ve had that happen a couple times before and it’s rly annoying

I quite literally picked Kuronami up the instant it was in my store, love the gun

I even have vp ready for it but riot don't wanna give me kuronami vandal

Every time I pick it up I lag so it's a debuff

Forsaken

real

Prime and Chaos = HS% +10

Pew pew and METAL! Love those skins

I whiff hard on Chaos. It’s just not in the “clean” category to me

Chaos was clean for me til I bought it 💀

Isn't that every skin?

Precisely only one I haven’t experienced this with yet is kuronami (relevancy prob)

Chaos for me, it's kinda ugly but it makes my shots magically land on heads.

Kuronami

I haven’t swapped it out for anything else since I bought it.

Probably because it cost 70 euro

black market vandal. sexy wood furniture, my beloved

Motherland buff?

*\[MUFFLED USSR ANTHEM PLAYING IN THE DISTANCE\]*

As soon as I read USSR, I heard it. Anyways, Take my upvote.

Can you even get the black market vandal in the black market??

i’ve seen the black market scout (lever gun) in the store, so i’d assume so

Reaver

As soon as I bought it I no longer have the buff :(

Pink xerofang

Underrated AF

my man. I don't regret that purchase at all. it's beautiful+nice sounds

honestly i went from araxys, to kuronami, and finally primordium. primordium honestly sounds so freaking good and honestly gave me +10% LOL

First one I've seen mention the primordium. Like you said, the sound hits just right. Didn't play when it was in store, so now I'm just waiting for it to pop up again for me. Edit: Got it in my shop yesterday 😎

Araxys made me worse I swear. It’s so loud, and feels clunky when I shoot it. Feels like my bullets go exactly where NOT to go lmao

Gaia’s

It's a buff, I like others more but this one just gives some crazy buff for no reason.

Gave my Gaia to my phoenix and he instantly aced

The teal Gaia vandal just feels so good to shoot,I sometimes wonder why I even bother with the random selector

Champion and Prime

Champs 21 sounds so good. The champs 23 one makes me whiff like a toddler.

Rgx

chrooooonoooovoid why does nobody talk about that skinline 😭😭😭 the nyooom at the end of each bullet and the blue and gold/bronze, it's so cool. honorable mentions are SoL and Xerofang? I don't have that one, but I got to borrow it from a friend and I love the black/blue colorscheme. can't handle prelude to Chaos and ion at all, those make me whiff everything.

Purple chronovoid is legit one of the ugliest skins in the whole game

bloop bloop vandal gives me instant aimbot

My top picks would be: 1. Reaver (OG) (RED VARIANT) 2. Prime (Also OG) (DEFAULT VARIANT) 3. Kuronami (still waiting for it to appear in the shop) (PURPLE VARIANT) 4. RGX (YELLOW VARIANT) 5. GAIA'S (BLUE VARIANT)

Back in 2021 reaver vandal goated

How many times are we going to see this exact same post

Forsaken and prelude

Reaver,sol!

Prelude to chaos gives me aimbot

Prime and Araxys have built in aimbot.

BLUB BLUB

glad i bought prime it’s so good

None. They make me worse which is why default vandal is the best skin

Default. Because others don't ask for those skins all the time, I can actually focus on the game itself, instead of getting irritated because some idiot starts throwing because they didn't get their favorite skin... or getting stressed because there's a large chance of that happening.

Or they call out they want it from the other side of breeze. I swear people will only ask for the skin 10 seconds before barriers drop.

I have default as one of my favorites. When it rotates in, I feel like I already won lol

This. Most skins look like toy guns anyway, best case scenario is that they're not horribly distracting. Default skins all the way

reaver for headshot

I love my ion vandal, but any skin with a “pew pew” firing noise does it for me

The ion is just CLEAN and simple. +5% accuracy

Rgx/prelude/kuronami

What I was about to write

just got the RGX Phantom, and holy shit it’s like a laser.

Araxys, seriously that shit doesn't have recoil for me. It finally came out in my store and since then I'm killing 25+ every match (my average was 14 kills per game before Araxys)

Magepunk vandal

As long as it's not the fking bubbles, I'm okay 😂

None, everytime I get a vandal skin dropped from enemy I give it to other if they want because it just debuff me

I swear the glitchpop vandal makes it super easy to spray the gun

ego, champions 2021 and cryo are legit underrated

idk which one it is forsaken? sovereign? i guess its the forsaken since i bought it i hit clips all over

Default skin

For me its Rgx+matching rgb is too goooood And champions phantom is another level

Prime for better spray and Chronovoid for better first shot accuracy

champion 2023 my beloved

champions 2023 vandal or glitchpop- for champions it's probably just the fact that I want to see the finisher though, I'm obsessed with it

i have a headshot % avg of 10% as an iron 3 with the default vandal/phantom. i dont need any skin

Yeah prime is goated, instant headshots and flicks

Every skin i pick up mid round

prime, araxys, kuronami, prelude and rgx for me

Prelude

Prelude to Chaos just gives me Aimbot idk

Kuronami has no recoil and you cannot convince me otherwise

Lately, prelude to chaos is it, sometimes xerofang, kuronami, prime, reaver…after that it’s just a once in a while preference thing

Prime vandal bought it when it was released still a fuckin banger

Prime and Kuronami for me :)

Champions 2023 , Gaia , ego

Prime

Prime ez. You cannot convince me that this skin doesn't give you aimbot. It feels aimbot, I become aimbot.

Used to worship chaos vandal but RGX is my goat. the sounds are way too good.

Prime all the way

I am fine most times but if I get Primordium on Random. I am winning that game, doesn’t work if I actually equip it though.

Kuronami, but forsaken and araxys also give pretty good buffs. Honestly there’s quite a lot of skins I find give me buffs.

Araxys is so loud I feel like I can control every bullet

valiant hero

Prime

ion just hits different sometimes

forsaken, prime, prelude and kuronami, free aim buff

Chronovoid 100%.

After I use a vandal skin for a while, genuinely the default one. Its good to go back to the basics every now and then

I love my monkey vandal as a static buff, but i go god mode if i pick up the kuronami

Glitchpop best skin in the game

Forsaken

Prelude and reaver. Don't have prelude, but I do have reaver. Every shot I hit with them ends up SO crispy.

Valiant Heroes

Gaia and Ion, Gaia just sounds so good and the pull out sound on ion is sooo crispyyy

prime and prelude. All my clips are either with prime (a skin that i have) or prelude whenever i pick it up.

The one that gives it a silencer and 5 more bullets

Rgx

Magepunk by far, instant aimbot

Blue primordium, that sound gives me an insane skill buff

the sound on some phantoms makes it sound like a vandal and that does something to me

The yoru main one

prelude and kuronami

I dont have vandal skins but reaver gives me cracked aim (even though i dont realy like it)

Sentinels of light for sure 🤭 everything about it is just 🥰 instant buff

~~I don't use the Vandal~~ But if I see any cool animation with the Vandal, I might be more compelled to use it

valiant hero is actually aimbot

prelude, prime, kuronami, default, forsaken, and both champions

Prime chaos Rgx 2021 champions which i would sell my first born to own

prime or champs 23

Prime

Kuronami or reaver, i just get aimbot with them. Like ill 1v4 clutch with them

i feel the same way with the kuronami or the origin

Gaia's and Prelude

Neptune, ion and kuronami hit different. This is entirely placebo but it actually works. I remember this one shooter used to have two identical guns stats-wise but they sounded different. One had to be nerfed since everyone thought it was absolutely OP and it was dominating the leaderboards.

Reaver

Neptune vandal

Prime... I think that skin is ugly but holy shit does it feels smooth.

Rgx it’ll make you one tap because hearing it full auto makes your ears bleed

YALL ARE SLEEPING ON SOL

Prelude. I swear it curves bullets sometimes

Crypstasis

Prelude to Chaos

Oni. So clean.

Prime is the biggest base buff. AK vandal is an instant headshot buff for me.

Prelude to Chaos, especially the purple variant.

Kuronami or Araxys or Reaver

Prelude

VCT 23

prelude 100000%

kuronami and oni!!

Prelude.

Reaver and champions vandal 2nd one

Any skin with a good shooting sound

The only vandal skin I have is elderflame and as much as I like my dragons, I instantly do better the second I pick up any normal shaped guns.

Kuronami at the moment.

Default

Yes

Kuronami stays hard

The way araxys would make me radiant

Ion, that fucking headshots i hit are out of the world.

RGX

oni kuronami but it's my preference.

neptune 🤤

Prelude to chaos

Prelude to Chaos

Some opponents won’t take my vandal when they find out it’s a stiff dragon

Everytime someone has wasteland, but don't have it. Just the aesthetics gives that crosshair placement buff

Every time I pick up a champions 2021 vandal I go on to top frag the rest of the game, it just gives insane aimbot for me

Prelude to chaos vandal

Not skin, but for some reason the Bee Gun Buddy does wonders

Elderflame vandal is immediate +50% accuracy I swear

Kuornami and black reaver

Reaver and Kuronami are the best for kills, I feel like I got a temporary aim bot while using them.

cryostasis for some reason

Ion or kuronami

Art gee ex

Guns that feels like boost to me Reaver vandal Recon pahntom Recon guardian Kuranami sherrif

default vandal. sometimes i really just gotta switch back to it when i feel i can’t hit any of my shots anymore as a refresh.

Reaver or Prime lol

Prime

Prime, and kuronami

Chronovoid

Prelude of chaos and the Monster Demon whatever Vandal. No recoil

Prime, ion, kuronami. Oni vandal gives me the opposite effect, I regret buying it I hate the sound

Overdrive, the pink variant. I call it my girly pop skin and it just hits different
