Default Forsaken is so underrated too, because it has that Sovereign variant. But Default Forsaken has the coolest finisher in-game, imo. And call me mad, but Smite is a little underrated too, that glow is pretty nice
I love the Infantry and Wasteland Skinlines. I'm very glad you gave them some love and presented them to the rest of the community. Much love to you Justin. Keep these videos coming. They are delightful to watch and brighten up my day.
imagine westoand jamed with rever bullet tracers. and most of the skins are just too distracting for competitive pount of view. csgo players can understand better.
Infantry is so underrated in my opinion, it’s super cheap and really clean so much so that infantry specter was my first ever valorant skin, even before buying a battle pass. It gives that real life vibe while playing in a digital landscape. 10/10
i bought my origin a few days ago and i love it so much. the bass in the shots and the infinite animations are perfect to me. i use it more than my prime
I’ve heard many arguments saying that origin is too loud? I’m not sure if this is true but maybe that’s why it’s not a huge contender towards prime and reaver
For me the Celestial collection is greatly underrated. Sure it doesn't have any finisher or crazy alternative weapon design but the design and animations on a default weapon (the phantom in particular) are probably the best in the category
the origin collection is the first and only bundle I've bought in its entirety. Not only the skins are beautiful, but it is also a bang for the buck (pun sort of intended...), think about it: custom equip, reload and first special inspect animation, cool sounds and really nice variants and finisher all for 1775vp per gun. You don't get that many features in any other skinset for that price, in fact, every other skin with special inspect animations go for 2175vp or higher (rgx, protocol, zedd, etc).
It would have been nice if riot collabed with Naruto and brought sakura skin with sakura petals flying while shooting and final kill animation is sakura ( character from Naruto) punching the dead enemy from the sky like they showed in the anime
I think the Aerosol collection is super underrated. Each gun in the collection has its own designs and color schemes, which valorant rarely ever does. I think that galleria is the only other exception
The most underrated collection imo is the blastx and i know most would disagree but i have been playing this game for 2 years and till today i have seen only 2 or 3 times the blastx themed skins till its released in my games .
For me, it's gotte be the Spectrum, even tho I hear alot about it. I never saw once in my life that someone is using it (except me because I have the phantom). And I've been playing for 4 months rn.
im so glad you put the sakura bundle in the video! I bought the sakura vandal before i bought prime, reaver and glitchpop, but lately i have used the sakura vandal more because i realized its so much cleaner ingame
OMG finally some respect for artisan, i always get memed on for having skins but still using the green artsan + times up buddy for ghost and the green artisan sword a lot. One of the best ghost skins in the game and it's almost free, its like oni if the original oni was oni 2.0 and artisan was oni 1.0.
The G.U.N skins are so awesome and I love the 60s space age look. shame about the finisher though, I think a holographic UFO flying in and beaming up the last man would have been perfect.
In my opinion, I totally agree with your list. One more addition could be the ego vandal, with the default black, white and gold colours. It looks seriously great, but has the same price as a Reaver or a Prime, and hence it didn't become very famous.
i myself bought the origin collection and LOVE every skin in it except for the vandal. The Vandal is so loud and sounds horrendous compared to reaver and prime. every other skin in it is top, especially the Operator. The Operator sounds amazing
I told my Valorant friends that I love the minima collection and they think I'm crazy, I just like the minimalistic feeling of it and it doesn't look too crazy.
I really wish they release the G.U.N collection but make it upgradable. If they do that it’ll be a S+ tier skin collection. I can already imagine a ufo coming over and taking the last person killed away for a final kill animation. There’s a lot of potential
The Sakura skin line could've been so good. Easily a 7100 or even 8700 bundle if they did it right. It had the potential to have the coolest animation, finishers, and sound fx
i think the songsteel collection shudve been in here too its just a great skin especially the classic and the sword that comes with it, kinda like a cheaper version of the sovreign sword
The wasteland skins are sooooo cool. In particular the Vandal reminds me of Kalash in my fav game Metro Exodus. I would love to buy that but it never shows up in my store.
Artisan collection is the best one - the great thing is, that it came in the battlepass, so it was really cheap for what it is, I have all of the skins equiped ind different variants ❤️
I feel like the gallerea set is another, you get a nice classic, guardian, and marshal for not even half of the price of a prime/reaver skin and is really clean
Even though I have a prime and forsaken vandel the Sakura is my most equipped by far and I never go into a game without my m1 guardian. These 2 sets have been my favourite skins for being cheap, basic but still amazing. My biggest hopes for new skins is still new infantry and Sakura plus hopefully a knife.
Infantry set is one of the best sets that don't have any upgrades. One thing they could have added though would be sound effects for the bullets, and take inspiration from maybe some real life guns, like the Guardian's last bullet making an M1 Garand sound effect!
i like the origin skin collection except the op cus with just 1 shot your eardrums explode and the magepunk guardian just sounds soooo good and the baton of the gravitational something something is also pretty good
the sakura were the first non-battle pass skins i got in the game and are still my favorite skins all together. Thanks for appreciating them like i do :)
alot of people probably don't agree with this but I really love the horizon skins. I think they're so pretty and really deserve more recognition. I honestly think the origin skins are so cool like idk how they're so underrated ???
Infantry guardian is the best budget skin and one of the best guardians in the game imo its so cool to use and it has an M1 Garand style reload sound when you run out of bullets
The horizon set and the silvanus set are insanely underrated, silvanus has an incredible looking blue theme with yellow accents and it’s so good, while horizon has an incredible colour scheme and that green screen effect which they pulled off so well
As someone who has 90% of the time the origin vandal, origin knife, magepunk ghost, magepunk marshal and the Infanterie guardian equiped I can say that I couldn't agree more with this video. Still hoping to get the origin Frenzy and the minima sheriff in the shop
Some of those background guns are also really underrated. There isn't a lot of love for Winterwunderland and honestly I don't understand why. The gun style is one that doesn't need a finisher and the way it changes from light to dark is really mesmerizing. An addition to this is the snowball collection. The snow globe like details and the way it jingles lightly when you inspect it is really nice. Going back on topic, I also feel like the Horizon skins are a staple in skin collections.
Even the Rush and smite skins are very underrated. Smite phantom feels different. Blastx is super underrated as well. I hope they take the sart shots sticking wall effect into different concepts.
This man spitin' facts. Also i have a place in my heart to all the "Piedra del sol" skins(Battlepass Ep5Act2) They have a ton of work behind despite all the hate they got
I appreciated the destroy all humans music in the alien gun showcase. I bought the origin vandal. It's such a wonderful skin, but I don't know why I just don't like it anymore. It's beautiful, but for some reason, I've saved up money to buy another vandal skin.
Agreed with you on most of these, the wasteland and infantry collection are some of the best value for money you can get in the game. It's definitely away from the flashy fantasy style, but as you said that's what gives it a really great feel. In a world full of reaver and glitchpop vandals, I'll always treasure my dirty trash wasteland vandal. Only skin I would add is the cavalier collection. For a BP skin, the cavalier skins are something special. Like artisan, they have such a distinct style, varnish is a straight re-skin, whereas cavalier fully changes the model. I can see how people would dislike how the model changes, but I love it's goofy 70s sci-fi style
I’m still mad that I didn’t get G.U.N, the buddy, card, and spray are some of my favorite in the game and the sounds of the whole collections are amazing. The only thing I’m sad about is that they were able to make dragon skin but can’t even make a banner/finisher. It could easily just be an alien face 👽, and the finisher could have a ufo tractor beam them into a ship and fly off. It’s one of the most simple and missed opportunities :(
im so glad some of these were brought up. I own 2 origin skins, a GUN spec, and i wish i had the infantry and wasteland skins. I genuinely think that if they gave the infantry guardian a clip fed reload animation I wouldve bought it because i didnt know how much I'd use the guardian in the long run
