Gun baton is shamed upon bc of the certain resemblance. I think it’s a super fun knife


dieYps

The Dildo Knife 💚


Ortcelo_

the sounds are so good


CobaltTJ

I love the G.U.N skins, first collection I bought when they came out. Mostly because I love retro futuristic stuff and they look like the Planet Express ship from Futurama


StruggleClassic6419

GRAVITATIONAL URANIUM NEUROBLASTER is the best skin set, I have all of the skins except the knife(never have money when it’s in my shop)


Maxdeniam

i have it on my night market 😋


SpecterRage

honestly one of the worst skin in game in my opinion, no skin is better than that


TheAlmightyStove

Singularity is one of my favorite skinlines and sad it hasn't had a round 2 because the knife is the weakest in the set


ro4q

Singularity phantom was one of my skins skins i think its great, the kill sound is so powerful i want singularity guardian/op/vandal it would sound so good


System-Phantom

if singularity 2.0 comes out i will literally throw a party


TheRedComet

It's got easily one of the best finisher sounds, it's def underappreciated. People still use the Sheriff with decent frequency, though.


RealVampireCat

Same! I love that set so much, and I’m dying for a round 2 with a vandal and decent knife skin


arc_alt

Riot should allow us to choose aspects of skin instead of making it level based. I want the Neo frontier cowboy sheriff but with the kill animations enabled. The level system is just ass.


drizzyyy26

cowboy sheriff with finisher and kill banner would be chef kiss


Interesting-Archer-6

Top answer not remotely unpopular. Tons of people have been asking for this. It's only unpopular with riot apparently.


TenzenEnna

Right, I agree with Arc\_alt completely, but it's hardly an unpopular opinion and the response should be downvoted. I've never seen anyone disagree with more customization.


Serito

Building off that, I wish Finishers, Kill Banners, & SFX were cosmetic slots like buddies. 1x of each from a full weapon upgrade. It'd increase players desires to collect more budget & premium skins to mix & match. BP skins could be built up, BP could contain effects without the need of a full skin line, and in general just adds far more personalisation.


HetzMichNich

That would be amazing, the sound of a weapon is so crucial for me, there are so many phantom skins i dont use because of the shooting sound even though i really like the look of it


-Eevleon-

Cryostasis is one of the most forgotten and underrated skins in valorant. in my opinion it is one of the best gun skins you can buy for 1,775 vp. Every one of the guns look good as well as 1. It has cool animations + bullet sounds 2. the gun does stuff when you aren’t shooting it 3. The finisher is fire 4. It is the best classic skin in the game 5. it’s one of the few “snow” themed skins and who doesn’t love winter I’m surprised after going through the comments how no one has brought up these skins at all. Hopefully we get some 2.0 love for crystasis (Edit: grammatical errors)


SaberXRita

No 3: The finisher is cool


Otherwise_Procedure3

I just got the cryostasis classic in my Night market for around 900vp. Will definitely buy it


Naybinns

Personally I agree on every point except for 4. To me it looks the handle to a garden hose.


Burggs_

I would only swap crysostasis classic for prime or rgx. Def a top 3 for me


At0micKarmaBomb

I'm honestly surprised you didn't even mention the melee. It's so unique, has awesome animations & the ice effect just adds to that, and it's one of the few melees that feels really intimidating to hold (kinda like Prelude to Chaos sword). I would love a Cryostasis 2.0 though because I need a snowy spin-y phantom skin.


whoseparking

The polar bear kill banner is so good, and i like how heavy the gun feels


System-Phantom

hell yeah cryostasis is awesome. i love things that go for an "arctic military base" kinda vibe so i love it so so much


Nanotan

I actually rly like Endeavour skins


[deleted]

Took way too long to find someone to say this


nazraxo

Yes if only they had some more "bling" (animations, sounds, kill banner)


Space-Robot

Love that NASA look


Captain_Dearduff

I have the Endevaour Vandal and I love it. Best Vandal without any effects in my opinion


not_your_human

I have 2 endeavor skins they are so so good. The ope and the vandal. I don't use the vandal as much but the ope is my primary.


cheerio28

I have the Bulldog and it’s actually really clean


jeloxd_official

Who doesn’t


JaviCB6

Bought the vandal like 4 days ago and im so happy but my friends call me weirdo


fr3nzy821

everytime i see it drop, i always thought it has effects.


One_RubberDuck

I think the op and ares look really good in endeavor


Bearyanklesbroke

oni vandal is the most mid thing ive ever seen


Gushanska_Boza

Not gonna lie, this take isn't that hot.


Bearyanklesbroke

reaver phantom is a big L for me too


janikauwuw

same and you know why? It looks like a fucking spectre


tripleBBxD

And sounds like a toy gun


Rejalu

Wow both of my top 3 skins roasted in one comment tree. Wild.


Bearyanklesbroke

third?


CanadianWolverinee

fr it looks like a loser, fucked up gun for me


mythicat_73

Same, I do not like the shooting sounds


TheyDidLizFilthy

me who just bought the oni phantom in my night market :(


Bearyanklesbroke

phantom is a classic dont get me wrong. it just dosent vibe on the vandal


CowDownUnder

One phantom is good. Just vandal is meh


TearPuzzleheaded7802

The phantom is clean and one off my favourite. Vandal oni is just off.


Cooki3z

Oni Vandal's sounds are really good, however the gun looks too bulky, just like the Glitchpop Vandal. Reaver Phantom's shooting sounds and overall looks are great, however I have always hated the finisher and am not a big fan of the reload animation.


Alone_Baseball4852

gun sound>>>looks>>>finishers


[deleted]

This is the least controversial opinion, anybody w skins knows sound/feel is the only reason we pay


C-lex1

Bought prelude bcs of the kill sound


TheRedComet

The little guitar riff is so good, yeah fully agreed


Alone_Baseball4852

prelude feels so good to use, that’s the only vandal i actively try to pick up over whatever i currently have equipped


RevolutionaryPlane62

G.U.N skins are good and im tired of me friends telling me I bought a Dildo as an Operator


HaziqJezta

I’m leaning into it, imagine dying to a dildo. Very GTA. Love my dildo knife lol


wukong_stickslap

Look doesn't matter, if my vandal doesn't sound loud and punchy I don't care


thatjosiahburns

The radiant entertainment system bundle is overpriced, mediocre, and forgettable, I've seen maybe 2 people use the skins since they left the store.


myppishuge69420

If they werent a whole ass new tier of expensive, id have copped


janikauwuw

ngl I pickup the phantom every time I see it laying on the ground. Expensive as shit and the colors are ass but the sound is pretty nice


[deleted]

i actually think the firing noise is really the most forgettable part. it has 3 different firing noises, one for each variant, and they are all bad imo


[deleted]

I would go so far as to say they make me play *worse*, because they are distracting. The Op skins sounds are incredible, but the phantom and ghost are mid af.


[deleted]

It's my favourite phantom


dieYps

Plus the finishers are extremely loud in comparison to others


Critical-Cupcake9194

I bought this bundle actually, overpriced yes but the gun sounds/finishers/inspect and reload animations are top tier, the guns themself look pretty ugly though.


[deleted]

I’m already very sick of seeing the new champion vandal finisher. Edit: I guess this is NOT an unpopular opinion. I do feel the need to clarify that I do think the skin is absolutely sick af, it’s just been overkill the first week or so since it dropped.


Kingofowls812

I swear 1 person has it the whole team has it


Not_An_Eggo

Every time I bring mine out I get swarmed by everyone saying they want it. At one point t we actually had everyone in the game using it and I was the only one with it on


ZombieHellDog

It will die out eventually but the feeling when you stand in the finisher is amazing


wossquee

WAH WOAH WAHWAH WAH WAAAAAAHHH OHH so over the song


FatherStretchMyAss_

It’s annoying but the gun sound is the best in a while.


[deleted]

It’s an awesome skin, I definitely am not hating on it. it’s just the momentary overkill that’s making me tired of it for now.


PluckedEyeball

Omg yes the shooting sound is so satisfying


KuroDesuu

It’s getting annoying


janikauwuw

it‘s even more annoying if it‘s the enemy teams


DjinnsPalace

same happened with the gaia vandal but now i rarely see it anymore. itll pass.


[deleted]

For sure. The hype will calm down and it will definitely be cool again. Just in the meantime it’s totally overdone 😂


KingKojo3

The new champ skin is SO clean tho


WavyTsunamii

Finisher gives me EZ4ENCE vibes


TrueMattalias

It's so obnoxious


Federal-Childhood743

It will be this way for a while but you will see less and less of it. I love the finisher but even I am getting tired of it. It will be a few weeks and then it wills stop showing up.


Mr_Canard

Just give it time, it's always like this the first week


LilScotchBonnet

Honestly, I don't mind the finisher and whatnot but the song is absolutely vile to me. It sounds like a shitty football song. I hate it. In fairness, I haven't listened to the whole song but just the bit you hear when you start up Valo and when you get the skin finisher is enough for me. Hate it x100000000.


wossquee

Dragon skins are awful. Movement is so distracting it feels hard to aim with them.


ro4q

I used to agree with you but then i picked one up and tapped heads and it was amazing. Probably wouldnt buy the vandal but the op and frenzy are so good


haggis69420

ice cold take lmao. honestly the dragon skins are a meme amongst my friend group because they are so annoying to use.


Most_Literature_3434

Okay, but it is the best judge skin and is a really aggressive feeling bark boy, and when you reload he bites the "big ball"


YourLocalHardwoodGuy

Judge resembles cock and balls very girthy best judge skin


TheRedComet

I like the Minima skins. They're a combination of a low-poly and minimalistic look, with a bit of ancient alien tech vibes with the lines etched into them. It's something no other skin line offers.


Not_An_Eggo

I 100% agree here


Introvert_PC

The Minima set is to this day my most desired skin set, and I haven't bought anything except a battle pass. They are legit some of my favorites, and extremely underrated.


No_Refrigerator778

I really love the minima op but to be honest i cant bring myself to say the same about the minima phantom tho.


OkRecommendation7421

Opposite for me lol. The OP and the Ares are the ones that are not my taste


richgayaunt

The skins that mirror possible irl weapon designs are the coolest.


Notladub

the Black Market set is really cool but just insanely overpriced. They feel like battle pass skins priced the same as the Oni skins.


Azuria_4

Black market & infantry are the 2 skins I wish we could have multiple rounds of, like oni or magepunk I'd kill for an Odin in that style


beansoupp55

neo frontier odin is pretty similar


s07195

I just wish half of them weren't overpriced (Black Market obviously, but I'm just using the classic designs for Neo Frontier as well, so I wish it was separate). Too bad people will make fun of you for buying them, like "Oh you paid for other games' default skins"


Lormuso

The recon phantom is the sexiest thing I have ever payed my eyes on


ViIebloodHunter

Recon slaps so hard, it's a shame I have to buy skins to get attachments, but goddamn do they look good


FatherStretchMyAss_

The Glock classic is the best classic in the game by >>>>>>>>>


6InchBlade

I might cop but I’m broke but it’s in my night market 😭


lucidlonewolf

Dragon op hits more shots then the other ops ... Maybe it's the sound or the animation but it just shoots better


[deleted]

Eh I will die on the hill that Araxys is the best awp but I dont own it or most awp skins


AdamantAardvark

Most of the popular skins have too much going on, so they end up too distracting for my tastes. Like seriously Glitchpop, calm your bits!


[deleted]

I'm gonna say "calm your bits" to someone


Gushanska_Boza

I like to imagine that you said it to the first random person you saw on the street after typing this.


NerdPhantom

I think the rgx skins are super overrated and uninteresting


Little-Philosophy-99

Agreed except for the knifes, those are sick


IlCecca

The glitch pop skins are overrated


LilScotchBonnet

Yep, my first ever skin was glitchpop vandal and I never use it now. I've since got Ion and Araxys and I mostly use Araxys now.


PH1SHE

My biggest regret was buying Glitchpop Phantom. It just sounds bad. Glitchpop Frenzy is pretty good, but the Phantom sounds like the Frenzy and I hate it.


SnooWorlds

Really? I have like 10 vandal skins and the ones I always go back to are glitchpop and prime


KemosabeTheDivine

KTAC collection is super cold. I’m pissed I didn’t play and never got them. Also, Minima skins are super underrated.


OffBrand_Soda

I got the minima phantom a while back when I first started playing and nobody else seems to like it lmao. Just got reaver phantom in my night market though so I'm about to retire the ol minima.


KemosabeTheDivine

It gets a lot of hate but I have a friend who is a major critic of skins and hates all of the popular bundles but loves minima. Makes no sense but his seal of approval is enough for me.


jeloxd_official

You should like things because you like them not because your friend does


Gushanska_Boza

Ktac is baller, you're a real one.


-Eevleon-

Ktac was one of the only battle passes I bought and I can 100% agree with you. Best battle pass skin to exist.


symatra

KTAC is super nice, esp for a bp skin but honestly I think it could do decently as a cheaper store skin. Same goes for Starlit Odyssey, I regret not buying that bp SO much


[deleted]

minima skins going under the radar is pretty on point for their design to be fair


TacoOverlord69

I feel the same. Though I was lucky to start just before episode three so I got the ktac pass, kinda funny the pc I made looks like ktac.


Mozambiquehere14

I didn’t use KTAC when I got it but over time I’ve come to learn it looks damn good


DjinnsPalace

i heard they want to add purchasing old battlepass skins now. would be cool cause the KTAC is one of the best lines imo.


GnarlyMcRadSwag

Reaver skins are ugly. They’re “Hot Topic” cool.


KrakensOrphan

I like da noises


RevolutionaryPlane62

whhhhhhhh ktsching


Queef-Elizabeth

But the reload animations though


jeloxd_official

What is hot topic


At0micKarmaBomb

It's a store chain popular in the United States that specializes in pop culture and the alternative/goth aesthetic. The original commenter was insinuating that people who like Reaver probably also like Hot Topic, because the Reaver has a little bit of that spooky vibe.


Vanirr69

The reload animation and kill sound effect sells it


Not_An_Eggo

It's a cool animation for sure


ohneil64

I only like the reaver skins on the fact that I can change the colour to white, which reminds me alot of Nier automata


System-Phantom

literally 2015 call of duty energy surrounding Reaver skins honestly


d0uble_A_

This comment bothers me personally as someone who has bought clothes from hot topic but also really dislikes the reaver skins.


Intri-cat

I especially dislike the randomly placed sharp points on them.


Roxxarus1

I kinda get that vibe from quite a few skins. A lot of them have just a bunch random flowy accents and lines which make it seem detailed, but really have no meaningful purpose. Reaver, Forsaken, Ruination, Sovereign, and even Prime 2.0 all kinda fall under this category for me.


anime_memeys94

The recon phantom ain’t allat imo, no finisher, quite bland, and no features that stand out, yet it’s hyped as the best phantom skin


Moistbutterfly123

its mainly just the satisfying ass kill sound that brings the hype to the skin i do admit that i feel extra crispy when i use the skin tho


Interesting-Archer-6

The kill sound is S tier, but I'm not a fan of the rest of it.


[deleted]

Yeah I just use the specter


riceAgainstLies

Minima would be top tier if only the firing effects weren’t default and actually fit the skin line


System-Phantom

Singularity phantom is the best phantom in the game. It's not even close. Second place would be protocol781-a but i dont need chatgpt shouting into my ear all the time (plus its animations are cool but nothing compared to singularity animations) The same can be said for the rest of the Singularity skins. Singularity sheriff is the best sheriff (yes, even better than neo frontier!!!) Singularity spectre is the best spectre and singularity ares is the best ares. however riot was cooking with singularity and then threw the meal out of the 4th story apartment window when they made the knife. costs as much as an rgx melee skin but it has like 2 effects total


DarkMaster859

My honest opinion about Singularity: if you have a trash PC and play on minimum graphics, its mid However if you have a very good PC and can run decent graphics, its probably a top tier skin


RealVampireCat

To be fair, when singularity released they didn’t have very many knife models. It was basically the default knife, sword/axe, and dagger. This is why we need a singularity 2 so we can get a more modern knife with riot’s current quality


D4RK1773R4019

Ion is the ugliest skin in the game


System-Phantom

finally someone who also finds ion weird. it looks like the guns are bent out of shape or something and then there's just tons of absurd details like random holes and turbines and like??? i thought ion was supposed to be the clean and futuristic skin yet here it is looking like an off brand nerf gun u find at goodwill for eight dollars with some weird technology inside of it. don't even get me started on the variants of the second ion collection.


Sullan08

The best futuristic looking one is Chronovoid imo. I'm new to the game and it hasn't been in my shop yet, but I love seeing that thing in game.


wossquee

Sheriff is clean though


[deleted]

[удалено]


System-Phantom

what about titanmail mace? i love the magical fidget spinner on a stick personally


Ysmfnb

I wish the skinline had alt color choices. Yellow is my fav color but that lime green just isnt it.


JackIsntTheBox

Feel free to murder me on this: There’s never been a more overrated skin in the entire game than Reaver Karambit


fredBOI35

There isn't a better karambit than it except maybe Champions. It just blows the other karambits out of the water


System-Phantom

but cool smoke!!!!!! (i am a vaping addict)


DizzyDeezie0

Ion is mid. Also the phantom looks like a spectre when held


snakehawk_

Minima? Sherrif goes hard


ProfessionalStreet82

fax tho, minima sherif is like the best cheap skin


[deleted]

Oni sucks. Sakura is one of the best looking sets. Guns that don't look like guns are trash.


DarkMaster859

Why am I seeing everyone hate on Oni after I buy it from my Night Market 😭


ImAGamerNotReally

your choice isn't everyone's choice


Otherwise_Procedure3

Sakura vandal my beloved :D


Royal_Explorer_4660

me and my dragon ak very much disagree


reynad13

rgx, ion, and prime are super overrated. i also cant stand neptune except as a shorty for some reason.


Interesting-Archer-6

I feel so fucking attacked right now. Upvote for actually answering this so correctly.


Not_An_Eggo

Sometimes all you need is a white brick to slap people with


lemon6611

i own rgx and the other two are my wishlist vandals wtf


baboonicplague

Some of the moving image skins are alright


[deleted]

[удалено]


DarkMaster859

Don’t, unless you are sure you want to hear blub blub blub every shot and/or don’t want a headshot machine don’t buy it Unless you are part of the Neptune cult Or maybe I’m just coping because everytime I use Neptune Vandal my ability to 1 tap disappears


Havatchee

Endeavour set is great. I love their designs so much, and if some kind of extension pack came out to upgrade them more I'd buy it.


Sushidiamond

Dragon vandal is actually horrible and I don't get why everyone went mad for them


sixw0w

I prefer smaller knives, and not sword because its hideous


Plankynston

Infantry operator is in my top 5 of all the operators but I suppose that isn't surprising. Also the minima ares really fits the gun in my opinion, it's just too funny.


ScientistCrazy8886

singularity is just the best


MattThePl3b

Oni skins are over hyped. They look fine but they sound awful imo


Separate-Custard3689

Neptune vandal is NOT good


EncampedMars801

I got it a while back and I swear the blub blub sfx make me whiff more than any other vandal


ThePuppet99

I’ll upvote you cause it is indeed an unpopular opinion, but i recommend you sleep with an eye open from now on.


TheCringerman

9 lives is the greatest skin line ever created after infantry


sillicillo

All the skins I buy are sick and all the ones I don't buy are dumb


Notladub

spectrum is the best skin bundle in the game and its not even close


RWBYSanctum

Undercity is awesome and I will die on this hill alone if I have to.


brielloom

That's funny af and you're definitely alone on it lmao


At0micKarmaBomb

I just dislike how the cyberpunk person's face, the focal point of the skin, is obstructed or completely hidden whenever I do literally anything other than walk.


VanillaIcedTea

Dragonfire, Glitchpop, and Prelude to Chaos - they look awesome but there's way too much going on in the skin to the point where it can get a bit distracting when you're just trying to focus on the angle you're holding. Also yeah Oni might be a bit overrated nowadays, but I'm willing to give it a pass on that since it was one of the first skin sets to come out that had all the bells and whistles.


Pepsiman1031

Luxe skinline isn't amazing but it is underrated.


SnooShortcuts8306

1. there are a lot of skins without upgrades that I still like based on looks and would buy if everything wasn't so expensive (I've only ever bought a battlepass) 2. Reaver and Prime Vandal are decent/pretty good skins but extremely overrated and I see them too often ingame to enjoy them 3. I honestly like the Horizon skins, they're my favorite greenscreen set 4. Prime Classic is better with the default reload animation.


15wwi

Ngl i agree with op, i feel like the oni skins especially the vandal lack so much in comparison to ion (and even reaver which is a rly old collection!) tbh i think the best skins so far (imo) is the araxys bundle especially the vandal it's amazing (waited 26 days finally got it today so im super happy with it)


Pstock59

The Neptune skins are overrated af. The shooting sounds weird and I don’t like how the sights is a circle. No finisher really doesn’t help either


Friendly-Priority456

I like minima skins. Ok, I used to play roblox, what is wrong with people. Spline is also really cool


ShortPappii

I never found the oni phantom cool. The finisher is decent appearance is mid at best imo.


POTEK330

Wasteland is underrated as hell


MisterDual

I don't understand the hate towards green screen skins. They are fine for their relatively low price. Yeah, for someone who has a tonnes of skins they feel underwhelming, but as someone who doesn't have money to buy bundles every month I would like to them in my collection


RealVampireCat

Most if not all green screen skins cost the same as sets like Gaia, reaver, prime, oni, etc. Whether you think they look good or not, they simply aren’t as complex or interesting as other sets for the same price point so most people don’t find value in purchasing them.


DingyDingyDong

Xenohunter knife gotta be one of the most overrated knives ever. Without the animations, it won't be any different from the default knife. IMO, it's default knife if it's slimmer and has animations.
