Here’s everything you need to know about Valorant guns: how they differ, the pros and cons of each barrel
In this guide, we will list all the weapons in Valorant , as well as give some tips for using one or another gun.
Pistols
By default, the Classic pistol is available to the player, which does not differ in high damage or rate of fire, although it can shoot cutoffs at several rounds. If you also aim at the head, then at close range it will help you quickly deal with enemies.
Personal weapon
Shorty
It is a “sawed-off” shot that shoots a shot. Very effective when used at close range, as it can kill an enemy with one shot. The disadvantage of this weapon is that already at medium range you cannot seriously injure your opponent. In this case, the player with the usual Classic will shoot your Shorty.
Frenzy
The fully automatic pistol, which does not have a lot of damage, comes in handy at close to medium ranges. The spread of bullets during automatic shooting is quite large, so it is better to shoot with cutoffs for several rounds. If you don’t have enough credits to buy a better weapon, then this barrel is great for the first time.
Ghost
It is a silent semi-automatic pistol with good damage. With an accurate headshot, you can kill an enemy with a few shots at medium range. Perfect for pairing with a silent main weapon.
Sheriff
A revolver with enormous damage. Just one headshot at almost any range is enough to kill an enemy. Its obvious drawbacks are a small six-round drum and rather slow firing.
Submachine guns
PP Specter
Stinger
This submachine gun deals modest damage even at short distances, but has a high rate of fire. It makes no sense to use this weapon in long-range firefights: most likely most of the cartridges will fly into the milk, and those that hit the target will not cause much damage. This is because the rounds of this submachine gun suffer a lot of damage over a long distance. In addition, when using the scope, you can shoot with cutoffs of three rounds.
Specter
A silent submachine gun with decent damage and rate of fire. In comparison with the “Stinger”, it has a small dispersion of cartridges during automatic firing.
Shotguns
Bucky shotgun
Bucky
A pump-action shotgun with good damage at short ranges. Don’t even try to kill an enemy at medium range – the fraction quickly loses damage with each subsequent meter. Its main disadvantage is its low rate of fire. Having met with several opponents, most likely you can eliminate only one of them.
Judge
A fully automatic rifle that is inferior in damage dealt to its previous counterpart, but can quickly fire one by one. Such a weapon can be equipped by playing for the Omen specialist in the round, when the ultimate skill “From the Shadows” is available to him. If you know the location of the enemies, then move to the intended place and with the help of the “Judge” destroy them all.
Automatic machines
Best Rifle in the Game – Vandal
Bulldog
This assault rifle deals fairly modest damage, making it the cheapest of all similar guns. When shooting from the hip, the “Bulldog” is fully automatic, and when using the sight it can shoot three-round cutoffs.
Guardian
A semi-automatic assault rifle that deals massive body damage and can kill with a single headshot. But in order to quickly deal with enemies, you will have to aim well, since with this machine gun you can only shoot one round. In this regard, it is perfect for firing at medium and long distances.
Phantom
A quiet assault rifle with low ammo spread and decent damage. Compared to the Sentinel, this machine gun loses damage at a distance, so it is better to use it at short distances and fast close firefights.
Vandal
The Vandal is considered one of the best rifles in the game due to its high damage and low damage drop at a distance. This assault rifle is a little slower than the Phantom and Bulldog, but with accurate shooting it is capable of fighting enemies in a few hits.
Sniper rifles
Operator sniper rifle
Marshal
A lightweight marksman rifle capable of killing an enemy with a single shot only when it hits the head. In other cases, especially if the enemy has armor, a shot to the body will not be fatal. This weapon only has one scope magnification, so it is not suitable for long range gunfights. On the other hand, close up you also cannot do anything to the enemy. Using “Marshal” you have to choose the optimal distance for shooting, and also attack mainly wounded enemies.
Operator
The most expensive weapon in the game, and for good reason. The “operator” has huge damage. With it, you can kill any enemy even with maximum armor points with one hit to the body. If you shoot at the legs of such a player, then most likely he will remain alive, although he will be in critical condition. The rifle has two aiming modes for medium and long range shooting.
Machine guns
Odin machine gun
This type of weapon is rarely used by Valorant players , although it would sometimes be useful. The fact is that, as in life, machine guns in the game have a large ammunition capacity, which allows you to hold back enemies while installing the Spike and keeping it on the point. When using a machine gun, you will not worry about the fact that you are about to run out of cartridges – you can spam with lead as much as you like. All machine guns have an unusual ability: if you shoot continuously, the rate of fire of the weapon increases by itself.
The difference between the two existing machine guns in the game is small. Basically, they differ only in the number of cartridges in the store. Such guns are not very accurate, since it will be very difficult for you to keep the sight in one point during continuous shooting.
