Plus, with so many options, you want to ensure whatever skin you buy is worth the time and money, and, fortunately, Spectre’s collection has several highlights.
Updated on June 18, 2025, by Daniyal Sultan Malik:As Riot continues to add more maps, agents, and even weapons, there’s no shortage of new skins. 2024, in particular, was an incredible year for Valorant’s cosmetics, with the return of several fan-favorite bundles as well as brand-new collections that rival the game’s best. Similarly, many newer Spectre skins have entered the list while also giving an outlook on some of the classics, making us re-evaluate the older designs with renewed appreciation.
14Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster Spectre
Edition: Premium
As one of the first premium-tier Spectre skins in Valorant, the Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster (or G.U.N.) holds fairly well. Thebright sci-fi colors and punchy sound effectsdefinitely make it feel like the skin is ripped out from a retro space cartoon from the 80s. There’sa clear focus on personality, and so the skin’s other features lean more on minimalism.
Since the skin’s so old at this point,you can see its age in the details— no unique pull-out or reloading animations, no additional SFX aside from the shooting sound, and no distinct finisher. Thus, the G.U.N. is purely reserved for thosewho want to go all-in on the aesthetics and funky design.
13Kuronami Spectre
Edition: Exclusive
Like the entire Kuronami Collection, the Spectre skin within the set doesn’t disappoint. It offersunique animations and sharp SFX that make every shot feel satisfying. Much like the renowned Protocol skin, Kuronami transforms the Spectre into an entirely new experience, andthe sharp, crisp shooting is a joy to listen to.
The Kuronami’s iconic finisher is arguably the best in the game, witha somber atmosphere accompanied by rainfall. To sweeten the deal, the skin has four variants — Default, Purple, Black, and White — and all of them look stunning. Overall, the entire package, including the variants, isfull of intricate details that’ll keep you engaged for future matches.
12Recon Spectre
Despite having no unique sound effects, pull-out animation, or finisher, the Recon Specter’sshape as a tactical and rugged weapon alone makes it an incredible skin. There’s something about the randomized attachments thatspark confidence in the middle of a matchas if you’re actively inside a military operation.
you’re able to cycle between attachments by rebuying the Spectre during the Buy Phase. You’ll findgrips, flashlights, lasers, and more, letting you craft the ideal weaponready for combat. The simplistic variantstake inspiration from army-style camos, reinforcing the seriousness the Recon skin aims for and ultimately adding to the skin’s effectiveness.
11Neptune Spectre
Wielding what feels like an underwater artifact, the Neptune Spectre somehowmakes carrying a fish tank in battle seem cool. Its unsurprising heavy-firing sounds are extremely satisfying, producing a muffled pop replicating a bubble burst. Other actions, like reloading or inspecting, also carry a water-like effect, as ifyou’re using the gun while submerged. It certainly adds depth and immersion to the skin.
Havingno finisher is perhaps the only complaint about the Neptune Collection. An ocean-themed skin can have so many possibilities, and yet there’s none, which is a real shame. Still, all things considered, it’s a solid Spectre skin withno real competition aside from maybe the Kuronami set.
10Forsaken Spectre
Forsaken has established itself among the best skin collections in Valorant, and the Spectre from that set isa fantastic grab for you at this price point. The default green color variant gives offa dark and ominous vibe and is a pleasure to use in-game.
In addition to sounding fantastic, the skin also features anincredible animation and finisher, which contribute significantly to its appeal. You can furtherunlock Gold as a second color for this skin, giving it a royal and regal appearanceidentical to the Sovereign collection.
9Ruination Spectre
Ruination Spectre is another excellent selection you can look forward to acquiring within the first-person tactical shooter. It was launched as part of League of Legends’Sentinels of Light event, marking the first time thetwo popular titles from Riot Games crossed paths.
The mystic vibes that the Ruination Spectre features make it a great pick-up. The variants — Purple, Red/Yellow, and Green —all look fantastic and fit the aesthetic. The sound effects and animations areclean, fluid, and impactful,and the finisher is even better.
8Singularity Spectre
The Singularity Spectre isa stunning and enticing skin you will relish utilizing in Valorant. It was released into the game during the first Episode, so it’s likea grandparent to modern Spectre skins. Another thing to highlight is Singularity 2.0, the original Singularity Collection’s successor, which brought a ton of new skins into the fold, including an amazing butterfly knife.
The main attraction of The Singularity Spectre is its visual and sound effects, but you’ll really enjoy its finisher, whichsucks opponents into a black hole. Furthermore, the four eye-catching color options made available ensure the skin doesn’t get old, especially when you consider howthe kill banners change with each variant.
7Ion Spectre
The Ion Spectre was introduced in Valorant with the expansion of thewell-liked Ion collection in Episode 5. This futuristic skin incorporates all the bundle’s core qualities, includinga resonant sound and a dynamic blue-colored energy coreyou will find difficult to take your eyes away from.
With the second release, you have options besides white, includingGreen, Yellow, and Blue, allowing some degree of customization. Unfortunately, it does somewhat feel that Riot missed the mark with these variants — they havean awkward palette and are just way too bright, taking away from the Ion’s intended sleek design and feel.
6RGX 11Z Pro Spectre
Riot released the RGX 11Z Pro Spectre into Valorant with the game’s4.08 patch as a successor to the original RGX 11Z Pro Collection. It has a flawless appearance thanks to theclear appearance and an RGB light along the edgesthat changes as you inspect the weapon.
A distinguishing factor that makes the RGX 11Z Pro Spectre uniqueis the Kill Counter, which you won’t find in the other skins. In addition to the Base (Green) version, you’re able to get the skin in Red, Blue, and Yellow, andeach variant comes with a unique RGB scheme.
5Reaver Spectre
In the second iteration of the Reaver collection, the Reaver Spectre,as well as skins for the Ghost,Phantom,Odin, and Melee (Karambit), were introduced. It received a positive response from the game’s community, and theiconic Reaver art style with great animations and soundensures that you will enjoy using the Spectre skin.
Apart from the base (Purple) color, you can unlockRed, Black, and White variants, all of which look great. They carry thesame dreaded look as the original Reaver collectionand are considered a classic among fans.
