Vantage headlines Apex Legends Season 14, bringing a new recon character to Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter. As with any new character, there are two things people want to know — how to effectively use said character and which skins are worth investing in. In alphabetical order, our guide below covers the best Vantage skins.
Falcon Patrol
Falcon Patrol makes Vantage look like a near-future venerable war hero. The fur pelt is replaced by a jacket with more standard fabric material, adorned by the same white and orange color scheme as the rest of the outfit. There also subtle modernizations to bits of her armor plating around her legs and arms, which look cooler without veering too far into futurism. The white and orange color scheme also helps this simple design stand out better than the alternative-colored Genesis Effect skin, which makes visually distinguishing its details more difficult at a glance. Falcon Patrol can be crafted with 1,200 crafting metals.

Fiber Optics
Fiber Optics is far from one of Apex Legends’ unique skins. After all, every Legend has a version of this skin with the same color scheme and animated pattern that resembles a digitized flame. However, this skin suits Vantage better than many of the other characters. Fiber Optics can be crafted using 400 crafting metals.
Ice Cold
Available as part of the Vantage Launch Bundle, this skin accurately portrays what the new sniper looks like dressed for harsh winter weather. The Ice Cold skin is able to achieve this look without making Vantage appear overly bulked up, thus preventing her from being a noticeable target. Her personality is also communicated through the slick goggles, helmet, and scarf emblazoned with a paw print at the end.

Nocturnal Tactics
Nocturnal Tactics is one of Vantage’s Legendary skins. It features a unique mix of modern armor, along with references to Skull Town, which was reintroduced in Season 14. Vantage is seen wearing fancy armor plating along her legs and left arm. However, her right shoulder pad seems to be fashioned from the wings of a bat, referencing her Echo Relocation tactical. The helmet itself uses a creature’s golden skull, with Vantage’s face peering through the skull’s exposed mouth. This skin can also be crafted with 1,200 crafting metals.
Red Shot Raider
Red Shot Raider is identical to Nocturnal Tactics in design, with only a difference in color scheme. The purple and gray aesthetic is replaced with a red and black look, accompanied by a version of the skull helmet without the gold plating. This skin can also be crafted with 1,200 crafting metals.
