In Valorant’s exhaustive list of combat options, the pistols are among the most varied. From the dastardly shorty to the infamous classic, each pistol reflects the players playstyle and choice of combat. Compounding to that is the mandatory pistol round at least twice a game, leading to a team having to select from the list which one fits them. The Ghost is likely the most popular of the pistol options from that list, due to the long-range, silenced shots and larger magazine. It offers a one-tap potential on unarmored individuals up to 30m.

Here is a list of the most satisfying skins to accompany your next pistol endeavor.

From the steampunk meets fantasy genre, this electrifying companion lends a nice sizzle to each kill and the aesthetic of the skin only adds to the fun of mowing down opponents to crackling electricity. Likely the most popular and oft seen part of the collection, the Ghost skin imparts a satisfying tingle that grows with the kill counter.

Is there anything more satisfying that one-tapping opponents with the feel of the Grim Reaper? This infamous deathly bundle includes the extremely popular Ghost skin. Set with variants, VFX, and a beautiful finisher, it’s a crowd-favorite for a reason.

In death there is life, so goes the saying. Few visuals exemplify that as well as Gaia’s Vengeance. The ‘tree collection’ so goes the moniker, has earned the love of the community as one of the more popular skins. While the ghost skin is less seen than the Vandal and Marshal counterparts, the clean aesthetics and whispering wood of the Ghost is not one to be missed.

 

Sovereign- 1775VP

Clean, brilliant finisher, and aesthetically rewarding, it’s little wonder the Sovereign holds court as one of the community’s favorite Ghost skin to this date. Since it released in Act 1, it has consistently seen use despite the release of other more aesthetically adventurous skins.

 

Ruination- 2175VP

Whisper quiet and enshrouded in mist, it is the Ruination Ghost. In four variants, it is one of the less popular Ghost skins in terms of use, however, there are few things less satisfying that the feel of the one tap from this skin. Like a feeling of exhalation, it is the breath of an undead king that truly powers this skin.

 

Recon- 1775VP

Speaking of electricity, the Recon collection has seized the Valorant community, especially the professional scene, with the simplistic design, and minimalist aesthetics. Moreover, the electronic pulse that accompanies every kill count, adds the simple enjoyment of the skin.
