The Ghost is the go-to weapon for pistol and eco rounds for many VALORANT players. Let’s see what good skins this Pisol has.

There are currently more than 40 Ghost skins available in VALORANT. This includes skins from different skin bundles, Battle Pass, and Agent Gear. Unlike other weapons, where the good skins only come from the purchasable bundles, good Ghost skins come from other sources, too.

Among all the Ghost skins released in VALORANT so far, here are the 10 best Ghost skins that we think are the best. While picking the skins, we considered several factors like looks, animations, and VFX. Moreover, the price and edition of the skins are not considered. So, you may notice a less pricey Deluxe Edition skin placed higher than a Premium Edition skin on our list. In any case, here are our 10 best Ghost skins in VALORANT.

1. Sovereign Ghost

We have the Sovereign Ghost at our #1 spot. The Sovereign bundle is one of the oldest but best-looking bundles in the game. It features an angelic or holy theme with intricate patterns in white with gold accents. When you upgrade the skin, it shines in blue. The Sovereign Ghost also comes in different color variants as well. The best one is the black and purple combination, which looks amazing and is often considered a dark version of the skin. The other two are nothing to write home about, though.

The Sovereign Ghost has very satisfying firing sounds as well as GFX, and a very excellent finisher finally seals the deal on why this is the best Ghost skin you can get in VALORANT to date. Additionally, it is a Premium Edition skin, which not only makes it cost less than the Ruination Ghost but also means the Sovereign Ghost can appear in the Night Market and be bought at a discount!

2. Reaver Ghost

The Reaver series of skins is one of the most popular skin bundles in VALORANT, with the Reaver Vandal and Reaver Operator gaining much popularity along with the Reaver Sheriff and Ghost. The skin has one of the most unique reload animations, allowing you to reload the magazine without touching it as though using some sort of dark magic. The firing sounds, skin color variants, and finisher put this Ghost skin in our top 2.

3. Magepunk Ghost

At the top 3, we have the Magepunk Ghost, which came with the 1st Magepunk bundle to be added to the game. It features a steampunk version of the Ghost, along with cool lightning GFX. It has different color lightning as the color variations and has all the special sounds and animations you could want.

4. Ruination Ghost

The Ruination series of skins is part of a collaboration with Riot’s other hit game, League of Legends. The Ruination Ghost comes in an ancient theme of the Ruined King and has a smokey aura coming out of it. The best part about the Ruination Ghost is that each and every color variant looks amazing with its vibrant colors. It comes a bit pricier as it is an exclusive edition skin, but it is well worth the cost.

5. Gaia’s Vengeance Ghost

The best Ghost skin you can currently obtain for free in the game is definitely the Astra Contract skin. It appears in Astra’s Celestial theme, a mix of bright colors that looks really nice. It’s definitely one of the more vibrant ghost skins out there, and the fact that it is a free-agent contract skin makes it even better.

The Omen contract Ghost skin is one of the better ghost skins you could get early in the game for free. It appears in a rugged theme with a cloth-wrapped grip, barrel, and Omen’s dark energy seemingly emitting from the gun’s body. This skin goes perfectly with all the Omen mains out there. On top of that, the best part about this skin is that it can be obtained just by playing the game and completing the agent contract.

9. Soulstrife Ghost

Soulstrife Ghost features a ghostly appearance. At first glance, this skin line has similarities with the Reaver skin bundle. But if you look closely, it has some distinct features that set it apart from other skin lines.

If you’re into no-frills skins, then the Ego series of skins are for you. The Ego Ghost features the default weapon in a basic recolor of the original design. It features a bold white and black with gold accents and the word “Imbativel” on the body, which is Spanish for Unbeatable. It has other color variants with the term “Unstoppable.”
