10 Magepunk Ghost

The Magepunk Ghost skin is the perfect skin for Steampunk fans. Design takes you on a journey into a world where technology and magic meet to create elegant and deadly weapons. Unlocking the VFX with Radianite gives your gun a satisfying sound that sounds like bullets are cutting through the air at lightning speed.

All skin upgrades can be unlocked for 10 Radianite.

Unlockable special animations further improve the gun as bullet shells are discarded from the top slot each time you fire. This looks like the invention of a genius wizard. The finisher traps the enemy in a glass vat as if it were the latest experiment.

9 Ghost of Doom

The Ruination collection is quite popular among Valorant players, and its Ghost skin is another great option to add to your collection. The design comes in four colors and looks like a gun containing a strange fog substance.

One of the upgrades is a VFX that makes the gun emit a mysterious flash from the muzzle every time it is fired. Another VFX available for this skin causes it to emit a dark aura when taken out and a new reload animation. For the finisher, the enemy is possessed by a League of Legends character named Viego.

8 Gaia's Vengeful Ghost

Gaia's Vengeance is undoubtedly one of Valorant's most eye-catching skin lines, and the Ghost from the collection is particularly popular within the community. The design turns the ghost into a gun-shaped crystal encased in wood.

One of the VFX of this skin is a flash of light from the muzzle accompanied by an ethereal sound effect when fired. Another VFX allows the ghosts to glow beautifully under lights. The finisher is so great that when you defeat an enemy, it turns into a large tree.

7 brave hero ghost

Valiant Hero Ghost is inspired by Sun Wukong from the Chinese novel Journey to the West. This skin comes in four colors – Black, Sunset, Dusk and Night with gold trimming – and its beautiful, colorful textured design really stands out.

Upgrading this skin will make the gun's muzzle glow and add a light metallic sound effect whenever it is fired. Unlocking the animation will give your gun a glow effect and also emit fog. The finisher is impressive as Sun Wukong appears to finish off his opponent with a series of epic moves.

6 singularity ghost

The Singularity Ghost sports a sleek, simple design and looks like a gun made from pieces of cosmic energy. The light emanating from the cracks gives them mystical properties. When upgraded, you will see a cosmic energy ball at the end of the gun each time it is fired.

If you import the gun's animation, whenever the gun is pulled out, fragments of the gun will float above the crystal body. The finisher pulls enemies into a black hole of cosmic energy and summons a cosmos behind them.

5 Shining Entertainment System Ghost

Radiant Entertainment System Ghost is for fans of retro themes. This skin comes in three colors and features buttons from the handheld gaming console. The design is bright and fun, almost looking more like a toy than a lethal weapon.

The different game cartridges loaded into each gun depend on the skin variant unlocked. The three different cartridges are Bazooka Badger, Dance Fever and K.nock O.out!!

The first upgrade of the skin provides fun gun sounds reminiscent of the sound effects of retro games. Each time you fire, a block of pixels flashes on the muzzle. Once you unlock the animation, your gun will be wrapped in a pixelated finish. Finishers come in different colors, each offering a different game and fun display after the final kill.

4 Evory Dreamwings Ghost

If you like dreamy and magical aesthetics, Evori Dreamwings Ghost is the skin for you. This adorable gun gives the ghost a beautiful crystalline body with the muzzle made up of floating crystal shards. There are also a few hearts to decorate in various places.

The unlockable sound effects are equally lovely. Includes light magic sounds, chimes, heart flashes with each bullet fired, and more. Unlock the animation and a cute creature will appear when you inspect your gun. The finisher has four magical companions who take the last enemy to another realm.

3 XERØFANG Ghost

The Xerofang Ghost is another beautiful design that gives the gun a smooth metallic coating with geometric texture. The unlockable sound effect provides what can be described as a less piercing gunshot sound with a glowing flash at the end of the muzzle when fired.

Animations animate the gun's texture and emit thin lines of smoke when shots are spammed. For the finisher, the victim explodes into crystal shards that form a dragon's head.

2 Sovereign Ghost

The Sovereign Ghost gives the gun a soft pearly finish in four color options. The overall design is finished with a sophisticated metal design. One of the VFX on the skin provides a colored flash at the tip of the muzzle when fired. It also emits smoke, making the gun appear to get hotter with each shot.

Another VFX is that the entire gun glows, and the gem on the back glows after a kill. The Finisher summons a huge, glowing greatsword that falls on the enemy and obliterates their existence.

1 river ghost

Reaver Ghost can be said to be a skin that looks like it was designed by Omen. It has sharp edges throughout and a bandage around the grip. Unlocking the VFX will make gunshots sound dark and mysterious, with a shadow-like animation popping out of the end of the gun's muzzle.

The animation creates a wave of shadows over the gun, and reloading uses telekinesis. The finisher uses multiple arms to drag enemies through dark portals that open from runes in the ground.
