If you want a great sidearm in Valorant, the Shorty is it. It’s great for fighting up close. It can be carried along with your main weapon, and you can also buy it during Eco rounds and hold close angles. Also, the gun works great with Jett’s dash, Yoru’s teleport, and Raze’s flying moves.
Riot has released a number of skins for the Shorty gun, which can aesthetically improve your experience with it. When you use VP to buy expensive or exclusive ones, they will have special sounds, effects, and other things. The others, on the other hand, are just different color copies of the same gun. This part gives you a list of the best Shorty skins in Valorant that you can look at before you buy one for yourself.
Ruin Shorty

People who play Valorant think that the Battle Pass with the Ruin collection is one of the best in the game’s history, and the Ruin Dagger is their favorite item. That collection had Ruin Shorty, which is a pretty good-looking skin for that gun.
The gun looks very rich because the black, red, and gold colors go well together. Since it’s a Battle Pass skin, though, there are no extra benefits. You also won’t be able to get the Ruin Shorty because the pass for it expired a long time ago.
Snakebite Shorty

The Snakebite Shorty is one of many skins with an Agent theme that is a lot of fun to use. This item has been in Valorant since the game began, and you can get it by leveling up your Viper agent to tier ten. You can also use Kingdom Credits to move up the levels now that the rules have changed.
It looks good with the Snakebite Shorty because of its color scheme, which is a nice mix of green and black. This is the best choice to grind out if you want a free skin because of this.
Tilde Shorty

Riot added the Tilde Shorty as another good Shorty gun through the Battle Pass system. The Ruin Shorty is another good one. It was added as part of Episode 6: Act 2 and could be played in the shooting game from March to April 2023.
It was pretty much part of the free track, and players who hit Tier 50 could get this skin for free. Also, four attractive color choices have been added, and all of them make the Shorty look absolutely stunning. You can choose from Default, Red, Purple, and Green.
Wayfinder Shorty

One of Valorant’s best skins is Wayfinder Shorty, which was given away as part of Prime Gaming Drops. For those who don’t know, Amazon Prime users who link their accounts to their Riot Games accounts can get cosmetic items called “Prime Gaming Drops.”
The Wayfinder Shorty skin is mostly black, but it has fancy designs in white and gold that make it look appealing when you look at it in-game. That being said, you can’t get this skin because the Prime Gaming Drop with it happened a while ago.
Wastleland Shorty

The Wastleland collection has skins for the Sheriff, Spectre, Vandal, and Marshall, as well as the Wastleland Shorty. It was added to the first-person tactical shooter in November 2020 as part of the 1.12 patch.
The skin basically gives the weapon a unique look and a modern feel. Should you wish to obtain the Wastleland Shorty, it can be bought for 1,275 VP whenever it shows up in your in-game store. For a better deal, you could wait until it shows up at the Night Market.
Doodle Buds Shorty

The makers came up with the interesting idea of the Doodle Buds collection. Each kill with one of these Doodle Jump skins will fill in the doodling that was put on it. Basically, there are three versions: Default (with Valorant figures), Tactifriends, and League of Legends. All three have cool drawings on them.
The Doodle Buds Shorty doesn’t have any special features like the other expensive skins, but it looks good, so it’s a good choice. You will need to spend 1,775 VP in-game to buy the Premium gun skin.
Neptune Shorty

If you want to buy a Shorty skin for your gun in Valorant, the Neptune Shorty skin is one of the best options. A lot of people love the sound of the Neptune line, and the Shorty is no different.
You could buy this gun skin with a marine theme in the in-game store for 1,775 VP. To unlock the Animation and Kill Banner, you would also need to spend Radianite Points to improve it. You will also be able to get the Black version in addition to the base White form.
Oni Shorty

The Oni collection is one of the most famous in Valorant. The skins for Shorty, Bucky, Guardian, Phantom, and Melee were included in the first release. This obviously makes the Oni Shorty a no-brainer to buy, since it looks good and has other cool benefits.
You will need to spend 1,775 VP, just like with any other Premium skin, to get the Oni Shorty. But, unlike some other skins, the money you spend will be well spent. There are also four color versions that you can use to make changes: Default, Kumo, Hana, and Subame.
Prelude To Chaos Shorty

For many Valorant fans, Prelude to Chaos is their best game. One thing that makes it stand out from the others is its great restart motion. The collection, and the Shorty in particular, have been in the works for a while now. They will be released in June 2022.
You should keep in mind that the Prelude to Chaos Shorty costs 2,175 VP, which is a little more than the other options. Along with VFX, Animation, and Finisher, you can unlock three color options for the face.
Araxys Shorty

The Araxys Shorty skin is the best Shorty skin in Valorant, and it has the best feel of any skin on this list. Some people don’t like this skin as much as the others, but the pull-out motion and other features make it stand out.
You can get the skin in Default, Purple, Black, and Silver colors. As for price, the Araxys Shorty is the same as the Prelude to Chaos Shorty. To buy the skin from the store, you would need 2,175 VP.
