Valorant is the newest CS:GO / Overwatch hybrid created by Riot Games – with a pretty unique direction in gameplay. The most important part of gameplay in Valorant is its arsenal of weapons – they are all imaginary, making new players from other shooters rather confused about which guns they should get, as no guns like that exist in the real world.
In this guide for Valorant Best Guns, we would pick out the weapons you should be purchasing in order to win.
1 – Valorant’s general weapon mechanics
Just like in CS:GO, in Valorant, you must manage your in-game money carefully to succeed. In the beginning, you would only have a limited amount of cash, enough for a pistol.
From this point, you must build a fiscal foothold – boosting yourself while trying to disrupt the enemy team’s economy. Save and spend based on how well you have played in each round, as you would keep the previous weapons if you survive. If you die, they are lost, along with the money you spent.
Weapons in Valorant might all be fantastical, but they all follow the same rule: You deal more damage with headshots, normal damage with body shots and less damage with limb shots. Each player starts with 100 HP – but they can buy extra armour at the beginning of the round to add 25 – 50 HP.
There is bullet penetration in Valorant – you can shoot through walls or wooden surfaces with a strong weapon.
2 – Valorant Best Guns: Pistols
You would actually have to use the pistol in a Valorant match - despite its general lower firepower, this class of weapon is the cheapest.
The Ghost is probably the best pistol in the game – out of the five weapons in the class, only the Ghost and the Sheriff can instantly kill with a headshot. With the Sheriff’s critical weakness of having only 6 bullets in its magazine and high recoil, the ghost’s 15 bullets magazine gives players a bigger error margin.
It is also cheap – you can get one with 500 credits. The Ghost is best for an economy round in which your team is trying to save money to catch up again. Just be careful when going full auto, as it would lose accuracy rather quickly.
3 – Valorant Best Gun: SMG
The Spectre should be your next upgrade if you are going to move up from the Ghost – it is a great stop before the pistol and your main weapon – the AR.
Overall, the Spectre’s lightning quick silenced spray is deadly in the hand of a skilled player – you can destroy groups of clustered enemies in a just a few seconds. At close and mid range, the gun is also great for burst headshots. Just remember to not reloading after every kill – the 30 bullets magazine of the Spectre is definitely enough for more than one enemies.
While it is better to just stick with the Ghost until you can get an AR, the Spectre is not a bad deal if you are going into areas with close quarter combat. It can be a great way to gain momentum while your opponents are trying to save money using all pistols.
4 – Valorant Best Guns: Assault Rifle
The Vandal is probably the best weapon in the AR class, with lethal headshots at any distances. It is Valorant’s version of the AK-47 – aim to get this every round if you can get enough cash or you are not sniping.
The style of the Vandal is aiming to get those headshots – if you are confident at being accurate, it would be much deadlier than its counterpart, the Phantom. However, if you are going to engage in close quarters, taking the Phantom is not a bad idea as it has higher spray speed and recoil management.
5 – Valorant Best Guns: Sniper Rifle
The Operator is generally considered to be the go-to Sniper Rifle in Valorant – it deals lethal damage at any range for both headshots and body shots.
In the right hand, the weapon could be a monster – however, it can be rather tricky to handle for new players, as Valorant’s agents are much more nimble than the usual counter strike character. The Operator is also incredibly expensive – you would need 4500 credits to purchase. It is best to have one member of the team being able to use this to complement the rest of the squad.
6 – What about Shotguns, Machine Guns and Rifle?
The rest of the weapon arsenal in Valorant are really situational. It might be amusing sometimes to buy a shotgun or heavy machine gun to joke around, but in a highly competitive mode, this would not fly… at all.
The Bucky/Judge are shotguns, which are good only when you try to rush a bombsite that you are sure would have players inside. Outside of that exact situation, they are awful.
Heavy machine guns like Ares or Odin are heavy and expensive – they cost too much for their general effectiveness.
The Bulldog and Guardian are… ok, but they have lower stats than the previously mentioned options in the list.
