RIOT's new shooter, Valuing is really depopulating on Twitch despite being still in the Closed Beta phase. You will need practice and experience to become a champion, but starting with the right weapon can also help. This guide with the list of the best weapons in the game (Tier S) will guide you in choosing the right paraphernalia to chain kills upon kills by eliminating any opponent.

Vandal AR-762 - The best assault rifle in Valorant

A rifle very similar to the AK-47 used in any video game. Just like the AK this weapon can hit hard but has a strong recoil which reduces its accuracy. The Vandal has a hit rate of 9,25 rounds per second. It is fully automatic and by clicking the right mouse button while aiming you can activate a 1,25x optical zoom, which slightly reduces the spread of shots and increases accuracy. On the damage front, this assault rifle deals 39 damage for each hit to the body and 156 damage for each bullet to the head.

What makes the vandal so powerful, however, is that it does not lose power and the damage remains unchanged even at a distance of 50 meters. The perfect shotgun to win in any type of duel. Alternatively, try the assault rifle as well SW-ACR Phantom, slightly more precise than the Vandal, but slightly less powerful.

Operator BSW-460 - The best sniper rifle in Valorant

If, on the other hand, you prefer to stay away from firefights and eliminate enemies from a distance with the precision of a surgeon, the Operator is the right weapon for you. It is about a really accurate shotgun with double zoom (2,5x and 5x) without any wobbling or recoil, you just need to aim well. The Operator inflicts 150 body damage and 255 head damage, making virtually every bullet a true death sentence. Naturally he is very disadvantaged in close range clashes and is also penalized by the great cost of 4500 credits.

Judge - The best shotgun in Valorant

A fully automatic shotgun with a high shot spread. If you catch an enemy up close, just fire a couple of shots without aiming to instantly KO him. Among the shotguns available, it is the fastest even if it sacrifices some damage to achieve this. In fact, it only takes 17 life points from the body and 34 from the head, but has 7 shots in total which can be fired in quick succession.

Ares - The best LMG in Valorant

The most powerful weapon in its class, with a truckload of bullets but a huge recoil. Using it while crouched improves the accuracy of the weapon but his damage remains 72 points to both the body and the head. It could be very useful for dispersing a group of enemies while your teammates finish them off.

Specter - The best SMG in Valorant

La miniature version of the Phantom, compact, easy to control and lethal. Damage and accuracy are drastically reduced at long range, in fact this is the perfect weapon for those who prefer medium-distance encounters. If you want to spend a few credits, this SMG is perfect for destroying even the most equipped enemy. Head and body damage hovers between 78/66 points.

Sherrif - The best gun in Valorant

The most powerful and most expensive of the pistols but able to kill with a single well-placed blow to the head. Although it is the most expensive gun, the price of 800 credits is not excessive and allows the purchase of even the poorest player. Thanks to this revolver (and a little good aim) you can turn the tide of the game. It has 6 bullets, deals 55 damage to the body and 160 to the head even if the speed is poor, like that of any revolver.
