The Glitch Pop Vandal is a cosmetic skin for the Vandal rifle in Riot Games' tactical shooter Valorant, known for its neon, cyberpunk design and deliberately glitchy audio. Players and editors began sharing its firing and reload sounds because they stand out from the game's standard weapons, and the clip has since become a shorthand for flashy, high-skill play in montages, skin showcases and short-form gaming edits. The skin's bright, animated visuals match its noisy, futuristic sound profile.
