The Ghost is one of Valorant's most powerful pistols and excels in pistol ammo. This specific weapon is also an excellent side weapon to have in full buy and can help you in various situations during the match. As with all firearms in this popular tactical shooter, Riot has released a number of unique ghost skins through various Skin Collections and Battle Passes.

Getting these skins allows you to customize your weapon while giving it a different look and feel. With the variety of options available, choosing one can be difficult. Although personal taste usually dictates overall preference, the options below are some of the best you can get.

Updated November 29, 2024, Maria Antiporda: This list has been updated to include recently released skins and the ranking order has been changed to reflect this. Each entry has also been updated to have a more detailed description of each look.

10 Magepunk spirit

The Magepunk Ghost skin is perfect for steampunk fans. The design sends one on a journey into a world where technology and magic meet to create a sleek, deadly weapon. Unlocking VFX with Radianite gives the gun a satisfying sound that makes it seem like your bullets are whizzing through the air at lightning speed.

Each skin upgrade can be unlocked with ten Radianites.

A special animation you can unlock makes the gun even better as cartridges are thrown from the slot at the top every time you fire. This really makes it look like the invention of a genius wizard. The Finisher seals your enemy in a glass vat as if it were your latest experiment.

9 Ruination Ghost

The Ruination collection is quite popular among Valorant players, and the Ghost skin from it is another excellent option to add to your collection. Its design comes in four colors and looks like a weapon that encapsulates a strange nebulous substance.

One of its enhancements is the VFX that gives the gun a mystical muzzle flash every time it is fired. Additional VFX available for this skin will make it emit a dark aura when pulled out and a new reload animation. For his Finisher, the enemy becomes possessed by a League of Legends character named Viego.

8 Gaia's Vengeance Ghost

Gaia's Vengeance is undoubtedly one of Valorant's most eye-catching skin lines, and the collection's Ghost is particularly popular in the community. Its design transforms the ghost into a gun-shaped crystal encased in wood.

One VFX this skin has is a glowing flash from its mouth paired with an ethereal sound effect when it is fired. Additional VFX allows the ghost to shine beautifully under the light. The finisher is very spectacular and the enemy turns into a large tree after defeat.

7 The spirit of a brave hero

The Valiant Hero Ghost is inspired by Sun Wukong's Chinese novel Journey to the West. This skin is available in four color variants: Black with gold trim, Sunset, Dusk and Night and the beautiful ornate textured design it has really makes it stand out.

Enhancing this look, the muzzle lights up every time it is fired, coupled with a light metallic sound effect. Unlocking the animation will give the weapon a glow effect and will also emit mist. The finisher is impressive as Sun Wukong comes in to seemingly finish off the enemy with an epic series of moves.

6 Spirit of Singularity

The Singularity Ghost has a sleek, simple design that makes it look like a weapon made from shards of cosmic energy. The glow it emits from the cracks gives it a mysterious character. After upgrading, a sphere of cosmic energy can be seen at the tip of the barrel every time the weapon is fired.

After getting the weapon animation, its fragments will float above the crystal body every time the weapon is drawn. The finisher summons the universe behind the enemy using a black hole of cosmic energy that pulls them in.

5 Radiant Entertainment System Ghost

Radiant Entertainment System Ghost is for fans of retro themes. This skin comes in three colors and features the buttons of a handheld game console. Its design is bright and fun, almost looking like a toy instead of the deadly weapon it is.

The different game cartridges that are loaded into each weapon depend on the skin variant unlocked. The three different cartridges are Bazooka Badger, Dance Fever and K.nock O.out!!

The first skin upgrade gives it a fun gunshot sound reminiscent of sound effects from retro games. Pixel blocks will also flash from the muzzle every time you fire. Unlocking the animation wraps the weapon in pixel art. The finisher is different in color, each contains a different game that rewards you with a fun demonstration after the last kill.

4 Spirit of Evori Dreamwings

If you like a dreamy and magical aesthetic, the Evori Dreamwings Ghost is the one for you. This adorable weapon gives the ghost a pretty crystalline body, the mouth of which is a floating crystal shard. It even has several hearts decorating it in several places.

The unlockable sound effect is just as adorable, with a light magical sound, chimes and a flash of a heart with each bullet fired. Unlocking the animation will cause a cute creature to come out when you check your weapon. The Finisher has four magical companions who take the last enemy to another realm.

3 XERØFANG Ghost

The Xerofang Ghost is another beautiful design that gives the weapon a sleek metal coat with geometric textures. The sound effect you can unlock gives it what can be described as a less sharp gunshot sound with a glowing flash at the end of the barrel when it's fired.

The animation will cause the weapon textures to move and also emit a thin line of smoke when spamming fire. For his Finisher, the victim explodes into crystal shards that form the dragon's head.

2 Sovereign Spirit

Sovereign Ghost gives the weapon a smooth pearlescent finish with four different color options. It is lined with an elegant metal design over the entire surface. One of the VFX that has skin gives him a flash of color at the end of his mouth when shot. It will also emit smoke so the gun will appear to heat up with each shot.

Additional VFX gives the weapon a glow all over and the gem in the back glows after a kill. Finisher summons a large glowing greatsword that falls on the enemy and wipes them out of existence.

1 Reaver Ghost

Reaver Ghost can be described as a skin that looks like it was designed by Omen. It has sharp edges all around and a bandage around the handle. Unlocking his VFX gives his gunfire a dark and mysterious sound and a dark animation that appears at the end of his mouth.

The animation causes a wave of shadows to pass over the weapon and the overcharge uses telekinesis. His finisher causes the enemy to be dragged through a dark portal that opens from the rune to the ground with several arms.
