The Phaseguard bundle is Valorant’s latest Ultra-tier skin drop, and it’s loaded with tech, style, and lore. But at a steep 9,900 VP (~$100 USD), the question stands—is it worth it?
Let’s break down every weapon, animation, and feature to help you decide whether this futuristic, Chamber-crafted arsenal deserves a spot in your collection.
What Is Phaseguard?
Phaseguard is Valorant’s fifth Ultra-tier bundle, placing it in the same premium category as skins like Elderflame, Protocol 781-A, and Primordium. This time around, Riot leans into a military-grade, recon-inspired aesthetic, fused with high-tech animations and dimensional-shifting visuals.
Key themes include:
- Tactical weapon handling
- Randomized grips per round
- Lore-based finisher tied to Alpha & Omega Earths
- Chamber-built weapons (yes, canonically)
What’s in the Bundle?
- Vandal
- Bulldog
- Outlaw
- Ghost
- Knife (Phaseguard Splitter)
- Player Card + Gun Buddy
Price:
- Total Bundle: 9,900 VP
- Individual Weapons: ~2,475 VP
- Knife: ~4,950 VP
Vandal – Tactical Excellence
The Phaseguard Vandal might be the best Vandal skin to date.
- Three grip styles: Foregrip, Close, Far (randomized per round)
- New inspect, reload, and ADS animations
- Custom firing audio with satisfying, efficient tactical vibes
- Cloaking animation during inspect that ties into the bundle’s finisher
This skin doesn’t just look different—it feels different. It’s Recon meets Sci-fi, and it hits hard.
“I’d take this over Protocol and Elderflame any day,” Kanga says.
Ghost – The MVP of the Bundle?
It’s rare for a Ghost skin to steal the spotlight—but this one does.
- Custom silencer-attachment animation on equip
- Angled holding pose and sleek tactical design
- Satisfying inspect with dimensional phasing
- Clean, crisp sound that feels premium
This might be the best Ghost skin ever made. Full stop.
Bulldog – Underrated Tech Power
- Two grip variations: Close & Far
- Caned ADS and fresh animation timing
- Slightly more grounded than the Vandal, but still impressive
It doesn’t scream flash—but it’s highly functional and stylish in its own right.
Outlaw – The Weakest Link
- Basic animations
- Minimal flair compared to the rest
- Still clean and lore-consistent, but not standout
If you’re cherry-picking your buys, skip the Outlaw.
The Finisher & Lore
The Phaseguard finisher is straight-up cinematic.
- A dimensional rift opens mid-battle
- You watch enemies get pulled through the interverse
- Kill banner changes to match your Omega Earth “targets”
This is one of the few skin lines that’s deeply tied into Valorant’s canon—and yes, it’s built by Chamber, teased through in-game emails.
Variants: Where It Falls Slightly Short
If there’s one miss in this bundle—it’s the variants.
- No bold color experiments
- Mostly safe, grounded palettes to fit the military vibe
- Only standout: Blue variant on the knife with a nice fade pattern
Knife: Phaseguard Splitter
- Reverse grip animation
- Unique swings with separate return animations
- Stylish cloaking effects
- Priced at 4,950 VP (ouch if bought solo)
Kanga’s verdict?
“I’d definitely take it over Elderflame, Protocol, and Ion.”
Sound Design
- Vandal has custom audio, tactical and clean
- Ghost sound is top-tier—potentially the best in its class
- Bulldog & Outlaw are solid, though less standout
- Kill sounds echo Recon inspiration with a sci-fi twist
Verdict: Is It Worth 9,900 VP?

✅ You want unique animations, lore, and tech

TL;DR – Kanga’s Verdict:

- Ghost – 🤯 Best Ghost skin in the game
- Bulldog – ✅ Solid, underrated
- Outlaw – 😐 Weakest link
- Knife – 🗡️ Stylish, unique, expensive
