Stinger is one of the most effective melee weapons in Valorant, and you can run and gun with it. The SMG in particular is also relatively cheap in terms of credits, so you can buy it in rounds where your team doesn’t have enough credits for a decent buy.
Like the rest of the weapons, Riot has released a variety of skins for the Stinger through the Battle Pass or the release of new skin lines in the in-game store. If you get them, you can modify the overall look of the weapon and give it a better feel. Several skins even include special effects and animations that enhance the feel of the footage. You can find out which Stinger skins are the best in Valorant by checking out the list below.
10 .SYS Stinger
The .SYS is considered one of the best collections of skins added through the Battle Pass and was released in April 2022 as part of Episode 04: Act 3. Even though the Melee, Sheriff, and Vandal skins have received the most attention, the .SYS Stinger is undeniably an acceptable option for the specific firearm.
The red and black colors complement each other very well, and the lack of color options isn’t necessarily a bad thing in this case. However, as the Battle Pass ended a long time ago, you could not receive it now.
9 Gridcrash Stinger
Another excellent Battle Pass skin for the Stinger is the Gridcrash Stinger, and it gives off cyberpunk vibes that amp up the fun of employing the specific SMG. It was made available in January 2023 through the Episode 06: Act 1 pass, which lasted until March 2023, after which Episode 06: Act 2 entered the game.
Alongside the Gridcrash Stinger, the skin lineup also featured a nice Ghost, Judge, and Bulldog skin. Similar to “.SYS Stinger”, you cannot currently acquire Gridcrash Stinger as your pass has expired.
8 Stinger Aristocrat
The Aristocrat Collection was made available in 2020 when Valorant was fairly new, making the Aristocrat Stinger one of the first skins for the Stinger. The skin has a real look, and the combination of White, Black and Gold improves the look of the weapon.
It’s worth mentioning that Aristocrat Stinger doesn’t feature multiple color variants, but that doesn’t take away from its amazing design. Buying it would be a little cheaper than the higher-value premium skins, and you can pick it up for 1275 VP within the tactical first-person shooter.
7 Shimmer Stinger
Shimmer Stinger is a very attractive skin for the Stinger, and the unicorn symbol engraved on the skin adds to its well-executed design. In addition, the brilliant shine it presents makes it even more beautiful.
Riot launched the Shimmer skin line with the Episode 05: Act 1 Battle Pass, and also offered skins for the Judge, Bulldog, and Classic in addition to the Stinger. You can equip the Shimmer Stinger in four different variants: Standard, Gold, Red and Teal, which give the weapon a great look.
6 sakura stinger
As the name might explain, Sakura Stinger is a weapon skin inspired by Japanese cherry trees. Keep things simple by being clean and avoiding bright and fancy elements.
The skin costs 1275 VP in Valorant and can be a nice addition to your collection if you want to keep it all white and don’t want to spend a lot on a Stinger skin. Although it cannot be updated in terms of animations or colors, the fantastic design that the designers came up with makes it a good choice.
5 ego sting
Ego Stinger is an attractive skin for the Stinger that you can buy from Valorant for 1775 VP. Given its price, it is not preferred by many and other options like the RGX 11Z Pro Stinger and Sovereign Stinger seem to be better due to the effects and animations they have.
Regardless, it’s still among the best Stinger skins in the game and gives the weapon a great look. You can essentially equip the Ego Stinger in four colors: White (default), Red, Brown, and Pink.
4 Doodle Buds Stinger
Doodle Buds stands out as one of the unique skin collections that Riot has added to Valorant and has a special kill effect where each frag colors the doodle. Consequently, getting five kills with the Doodle Buds Stinger would completely color it.
In addition to the base version, which includes doodles of Valorant agents, you can get two other variants: Tactifriends and League of Legends. As understood by the name, the former features doodles of Tactifriends, while the latter has different League of Legends legends.
3 RGX 11Z Pro Stinger
If you are thinking of purchasing a skin for the Stinger, the RGX 11Z Pro Stinger is undoubtedly an option that you should be aware of. The skin line, in general, is one of the most attractive in Valorant, which is why you would love to use her Stinger.
The beautiful design of the RGX 11Z Pro Stinger with LED lights combined with excellent shooting sound and animations makes it a worthwhile purchase at 2175 VP. Also, like most other unique skins, it comes in four color options: Green, Red, Blue, and Yellow, all of which contain a portion of Black.
two Prelude To Chaos Stinger
The Prelude to Chaos collection has grown in popularity among the game’s community since its launch in June 2022. Prelude To Chaos Stinger is one of the components of the skin line and gives the SMG an amazing appearance, so consider purchasing it whenever it becomes available to you on the in-game store.
The skin’s reload animation is one of the main highlights, along with the special VFX and other animations. In addition, the availability of four attractive colors in the form of purple (base), green, white and blue gives you several options for customizing the weapon.
1 Sovereign Stinger
Thanks to its brilliant sound and in-game effects, Sovereign Stinger emerges as arguably the best skin for the Stinger. It is also one of the oldest premium skins with animations for the specific weapon and was released as part of the Sovereign Collection in June 2020.
In addition to the standard white, you have access to several color variants: gold, silver and purple, which you can unlock using radianite points. The Sovereign Stinger also has a great in-game finisher, and it’s a pleasure to witness using it to get the final kill.
