In Valorant, there is a wide variety of weapons suitable for any situation, but the Guardian cannot be considered one of the most popular. Despite its high damage of 195, players prefer the Vandal or Phantom when choosing a rifle, even though they cost a bit more. However, its modest popularity does not make the Guardian a bad weapon, and in the hands of a true professional, it is no less deadly. This applies to the rifle's skins as well, most of which are true works of art. That's why the Bo3 editorial team has prepared material for you, where we will talk about the 15 best Guardian skins in 2024. Before we start, let’s note that the list reflects the subjective opinion of the author.
Nebula Guardian
Our list opens with a skin from a set that remains a constant participant in most top rankings despite its relative antiquity. The Nebula set was released back in 2020 with patch 1.06, so it will soon celebrate its fourth anniversary. Despite this, the skins from the Nebula set remain among the most popular and, importantly, most beautiful according to a large part of the Valorant community, all thanks to its mysterious cosmic design that adds an unusual charm to the weapon.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Neptune Guardian
The next skin is the direct opposite of the previous item, as skins from the Neptune set are not among the most popular, and they are rarely placed in the top rankings. Despite this, the Neptune Guardian is a rather sophisticated design that combines two basic and simple colours, black and white. Additionally, it features a small octopus positioned in the middle of the barrel, making the skin not only stylistically beautiful but also cute.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Intergrade Guardian
The skin from the Intergrade set may not be the most beautiful on our list, but it still deserves its place. Its simple design combined with a shiny aquamarine colour and relatively low price makes it a great option for players who plan to decorate their Guardian without wanting to spend a lot of money.
Price: 3,500VP for the whole set, 875VP for the Guardian
Fortune’s Hand Guardian
The skin from the Fortune’s Hand set is perfect for players interested in Tarot cards. The collection itself is styled after them, and each weapon in the assortment is tied to the Major Arcana. In this case, the Guardian carries the number XX, corresponding to the Judgement card. Each player can interpret it in their own way, but this skin is also suitable for players who are not interested in Tarot.
Price: 3,875VP for the whole set, 875VP for the Guardian
Valorant Go Vol.1 Guardian
While Valorant has many unique skins dedicated to a specific agent, Cypher is a rare guest among them. Therefore, if you main this character, the skin from the Valorant Go Vol.1 set is perfect for you. It is distinguished not only by a sticker of the aforementioned agent but also by a good design that combines both light bright colours and a mix of dark ones. Together, this combination looks very stylish, making the skin rightly one of the best.
Price: 8,855VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Sovereign Guardian
The Sovereign collection recently received an expansion, which added a range of new skins. However, this does not pertain to the Guardian skin, which was released in the first part of the set in Episode 1. Despite this, the skin has not aged at all and even after 4 years looks stylish. What makes it special is its interesting aristocratic design, which, when fully upgraded, receives a unique finisher effect that kills the enemy with a large sword that falls from the sky.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Recon Guardian
The next skin is perfect for players who appreciate realism. While most skins in Valorant have an unusual design that combines magic, unknown space technologies, and much more, the Recon set is different from them. All skins from this set look like ordinary weapons from real life, so they are perfect for players who like realism and a realistic style.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian

Gaia's Vengeance Guardian
Another set on our list that was released in Valorant quite a long time ago, but has not lost its popularity over the years. The Guardian from the Gaia's Vengeance set remains one of the best skins for this rifle to this day. Thanks to its unusual design, represented by crystals entwined with white wood, this skin attracts players. Far from looking like realistic weaponry, the Gaia's Vengeance set has 4 different colours, 2 levels of sound animation, and a finisher effect, where the last opponent's spot will sprout the same tree from which the skin is made.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Ego Guardian
The skin from the Ego set is perfect for players who are unstoppable in the game and in real life. In addition to the excellent combination of classic black-and-white colours, the weapon also has the word unstoppable placed on it. Interestingly, the skin also has 3 additional colours, during which the inscription changes to other languages. Thus, you can choose the language that appeals to you the most: English unstoppable, Portuguese imbatível, French inarrêtable, and Japanese characters.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Soulstrife Guardian
We have already mentioned the Soulstrife collection in our skin tops several times, so it's no surprise that it also appears in the best skins for the Guardian this time. Although the skin itself does not have other visual effects, the main emphasis is made on the sound accompaniment. During the killing of enemies, the rifle will seem to take their souls, accompanied by a characteristic otherworldly sound.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
RGX 11Z Pro Guardian
Another skin that impresses not only with its visual component but also with its sound accompaniment. The weapon from the RGX 11Z Pro set has a characteristic cutting sound that seems to slice through the air itself. Although this pertains more to the butterfly knife, the skin on the Guardian also reloads and fires with a similar sound, so you don't necessarily need to buy the whole set at once.
Price: 8,700VP for the whole set, 2,175VP for the Guardian
Prime Guardian
Prime was the first skin collection to appear in the Valorant store on June 2, 2020, along with the official release of the game itself. Although it cannot be called one of the best because, for the designers at Riot, it was more of a trial run, even so, the skins turned out quite stylish and interesting.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Abyssal Guardian
Water-themed designs are always highly valued in weapon skins, so one of its representatives will definitely find its place on our list. The design of the Guardian resembles a shark or a swordfish, due to the sharp barrel and stock, which looks like a fin. The skin is filled with water with unusual algae, making it unique among other water-themed sets, which, we note, are not very numerous.
Price: 5,100VP for the whole set, 1,275VP for the Guardian
Tethered Realms Guardian
Even among interesting and rare skins, this Guardian is truly unique. The fact is that the skin has two design options, but they change without the need to upgrade the weapon's level. Every two seconds, the light theme switches to a dark one and vice versa. This design mechanic in Valorant is very rare, and the number of skins that possess it is incredibly low.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
Reaver Guardian
Closing our list is another skin personalised for a specific agent. Although there is no official confirmation, most players believe that the Reaver set is directly dedicated to the agent Omen. The colour palette of the skins and effects is very similar to the colours of the agent's abilities, and the player cards sold in the set feature an unknown character in a hood, which somewhat resembles Omen himself.
Price: 7,100VP for the whole set, 1,775VP for the Guardian
