The user under the nickname willminder, specializing in collecting interesting statistics in the game Valorant, shared information on his page about the use of the Phantom weapon during the regular season of VCT 2023. In addition to revealing the ranking of the best players, it was also revealed that "Recon" is the most popular skin among professionals.

The top three players with the Phantom weapon include: Sean "bang" Bezerra, Victor "Victor" Wong, and Ayaz "nAts" Akhmetshin. The average number of kills per map for them is over 9. It's worth noting that the best player with the Phantom could not make it to Valorant Champions 2023 with his team, 100 Thieves, which cannot be said for the second and third places. In addition to the statistics, willminder revealed information about which skin professional players use on the Phantom. It turns out that out of the top ten players with the Phantom, seven can be seen using a skin from the Recon collection.

In addition to its attractive design and pleasant sound, the Recon skin also has a unique feature of random attachments, such as grip, laser, or flashlight. The main difference from other skins is the faster animation of drawing the weapon. This is likely what prompts professional players to choose this option. However, it's important to note that this feature is purely visual, as the draw time and the ability to fire the weapon are no different from other types of skins.
