Weapon Types

Valorant has a variety of weapons, each with its own purpose. Players can buy pistols, rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, sniper rifles, and heavy weapons. Choosing the right weapon depends on how much money your team has and what role you plan to play that round.

Rifles like the Vandal and Phantom are favorites for their accuracy, while sniper rifles reward patience and good aim. Pistols and SMGs are cheaper options for early or low-money rounds. Practicing recoil control and aiming for headshots are key skills to improve with any weapon.
