Riot Games diligently works on each new set of skins, and most of them are well-received by the Valorant community. However, despite the great animations and detailed work, sometimes skins for various weapons can be quite strange. This can be due to the appearance of the skins, animations, or many other aspects. Today, the Bo3 editorial team has prepared an article for you in which we will talk about 25 weird weapon skins in Valorant. Before we start, we note that "weird" is a subjective concept, so the skins in this list were selected based on the author's subjective opinion, and for some readers, they may seem normal and ordinary.
Gravitational Uranium Neuroblaster Baton
First on our list is a knife skin, and while there are many strange skins for melee weapons, the author believes this one tops them all. Created in a space-futuristic style, the knife skin looks like an unknown baton that might emit unknown energy. Although it still looks like a weapon, in the context of Valorant and other knives, it appears quite strange.
Arcane Sheriff
Next on the list is the Sheriff pistol skin from the Arcane set. Although at first glance, it doesn't seem too strange, the skin clearly stands out from others in Valorant, and the reason lies in its origin. Arcane Sheriff, like other components of this set, was created in honor of the release of the eponymous series by Riot Games in collaboration with Netflix, so it's not surprising that the skin looks quite unusual at first glance.
Holomoku Outlaw
Next, we have a skin for the relatively new Outlaw sniper rifle, the latest weapon to appear in the game. Although the rifle's novelty suggests there are few skins for the Outlaw, one of them is quite strange. This is the skin from the Holomoku set, which literally looks like a carved wooden stick. Due to its odd design, this set did not gain popularity among the Valorant community.
Yoru’s Stylish Butterfly Comb
The next weird skin on our list looks like a souvenir comb that you can use to fix your hair at any moment. But in Valorant, it exists as a real weapon, created in the likeness of a butterfly knife, also known as a balisong.
Infantry Ghost
Valorant does not have many analogs to real weapons, especially those used in the last century. But the Ghost skin from the Infantry set is one of them. Simple, without special effects and colors, it resembles the German semi-automatic Parabellum 1908 pistol, also known as the Luger pistol.
Spline Spectre
Automatic weapons in Valorant also have many strange skins, and the first of them is Spline Spectre. The weapon's design is quite unusual, and it looks as if it is entirely woven from metal rods. But the strangest part is the magazine and bullets, giving the impression that the weapon shoots blue energy spheres.
Celestial Fan
Next is a knife skin that at first glance looks like a statue or decoration, but it is actually a regular fan. Inside this bull, there's a summer souvenir that helps in hot weather. Due to its deceptive design and beautiful bull head decoration, the Celestial Fan skin is one of the weirdest and most mysterious in Valorant.
Doodle Buds Shorty
Shorty is not one of the most popular weapons in Valorant, but it has a few strange skins. One of these is Doodle Buds Shorty, which, although it looks quite unusual, also appears cute. The weapon's base is covered with small portraits of Valorant agents, each with funny facial expressions.
Abyssal Guardian
The next Guardian skin had a great idea, but the execution turned out quite strange. It’s clear that Riot Games intended to convey the grandeur and beauty of the ocean depths, as the name Abyssal suggests, hinting at the sea abyss. However, the skin turned out to be rather odd and even funny, as its transparent base shows only a few seaweeds, and the weapon’s shape somewhat resembles a shark.
Evori’s Spellcaster
Returning to weird knife skins, another one is Evori’s Spellcaster, which looks like a small magic wand. When used in the game, a magical butterfly flies around the wand, accompanied by a cute sound. Many in the Valorant community believe that this skin is a hidden reference to the anime Sailor Moon, where the main heroines used a similar item to gain magical abilities and a superhero costume.
Elderflame Frenzy
The Frenzy pistol already has a rather odd and unusual design, but some skins make the weapon even stranger. One such skin is Elderflame Frenzy, created in the form of a small dragon clutching a piece of mountain shaped like a magazine with bullets. Although the skin looks quite beautiful, with top-notch animations and sound effects, even in the context of Valorant with its various skills, the skin looks quite strange.
Wasteland Vandal
Vandal is one of the two most popular rifles in Valorant, so it's no surprise that among the variety of skins, there are many unusual ones. The first weird skin is Wasteland Vandal, which turns the weapon into its horrible variation. The Wasteland skin looks as if enthusiasts created the Vandal right in their backyard from various trash. Almost every part is wrapped in duct tape, and the weapon looks as if it might fall apart or explode at any moment.
Obsidiana
Another strange knife skin is Obsidiana, which looks like an unknown element from some ancient culture. In fact, this skin had a real prototype and was inspired by the Aztec civilization, which in the past had a melee weapon called Macuahuitl, which translates from Spanish as Obsidian.
Sentinels of Light Operator
The Operator is the most popular sniper rifle in the game and the weapon with the highest damage. Although there are no particularly strange skins for it, we can mention Sentinels of Light Operator, which looks much bulkier than the other skins. This effect is created by the crystal located in place of the barrel, but despite this, the skin looks very stylish.
Bound Classic
There are many skins for the Classic pistol in Valorant, mostly due to the team sets of VCT clubs. But among the standard skins, there are many strange ones, and one of these is Bound Classic. The design of this weapon is quite simple, yet unclear. The pistol looks like a mix of metal and wood, and it also has two mysterious overlays tied to it. Overall, the skin is quite simple and strange and is not very popular in the Valorant community.
Minima Ares
All skins from the Minima set look quite strange, but the best example is the skin for Ares. Thanks to it, the weapon looks literally wrong, with a strange shape. Every part of the Minima Ares appears disproportionate: a short barrel, an overly long stock, a circular trigger, and much more. Because of its peculiarities, the Minima set is not popular, and the Ares skin is probably its worst component.
Winterwunderland Candy Cane
Next, we have another knife skin that looks strange and doesn't fit the concept of a weapon. Winterwunderland is designed in the form of a candy cane, with added cinnamon or mint. These sweets are very popular in America, so it's not surprising that Riot Games brought one into Valorant. Despite this, the skin still looks very strange and doesn't fit the concept of a weapon.
Blastx Phantom
The second most popular automatic rifle in Valorant is the Phantom, and it also has many strange skins. The first of these is Blastx Phantom, which turns a real weapon into a toy. Although the essence of the weapon does not change with the skin and it remains deadly for enemies, the skin looks quite strange, which is why it made it into our list.
Altitude Odin
A strange skin for the Odin machine gun from the Altitude set. The weapon itself is designed to look like a plane, with the agent Phoenix visible in the cockpit, small propellers on both sides of the barrel like a real plane, and the bullets looking like aerial bombs. A rather strange skin, but it looks cool and unusual compared to other Odin skins.
Ruyi Staff
Another weird knife skin designed in the form of a long fighting stick. Although at first glance it appears to be just an ordinary stick, it actually directly references Chinese mythology. It belongs to the monkey king Sun Wukong, the main character of many myths, and it has found a place in modern pop culture, frequently appearing in comics and games.
Gaia’s Vengeance Marshal
The skins from the Gaia’s Vengeance set are among the most popular in the Valorant community due to their interesting and unusual design. Weapons with these skins are decorated in the form of intertwined white wood, wrapping around red or other crystals. Despite their beauty, the skin can be considered somewhat strange, which is why it made it into our list.
Aemondir Bulldog
The first strange Bulldog skin on our list is from the Aemondir set. Although the weapon looks like an ordinary Bulldog, it has a large bayonet at the end, making the skin quite odd and unattractive.
Snowfall Wand
Another weird knife skin is Snowfall Wand, designed as a decorated stick with a well-known souvenir snowball at the end. This knife skin is quite strange but remains good during the winter season when everything outside is also snowy.
Sovereign Stinger
The next strange skin is for the Stinger submachine gun. Although there are almost no entirely strange skins for it, Sovereign Stinger is somewhat unusual. The skin's design looks quite nice and even aristocratic, but in the context of Valorant, it may seem a bit odd.
Equilibrium
The last weird skin on our list is Equilibrium, designed as a fan for melee weapons. Although there was already a fan in our list, the very concept of fans is quite strange, and many players believe they have no place in Valorant.
