The Spectre is the best SMG. Screenshot by Dot Esports via Riot Games.<\/figcaption><\/figure> Submachine guns (SMGs)<\/strong> are a much cheaper alternative to rifles, and you’ll typically buy them on a force buy or after a pistol round. The best SMG is the Spectre, but the cost can be brutal.<\/p>

It packs a punch. Screenshot by Dot Esports via Riot Games.<\/figcaption><\/figure> When things are looking dire, and you need a close-range, high-damage-dealing weapon, shotguns<\/strong> are the way to go, and they are usually what players buy in a force-buy scenario. However, the downside to shotguns is that their long-range damage is almost nonexistent. So, if you prefer sniping or dealing damage from afar, shotguns will not be your friends. Of all the shotguns in VALORANT, <\/em>the Judge can be a powerful shotgun in the right hands.<\/p>

One of the best rifles. Screenshot by Dot Esports via Riot Games.<\/figcaption><\/figure> If there’s one gun type players agree is the best in the game, that would be rifles<\/strong>. This is because the best guns (Bulldog, Guardian, Phantom, and Vandal) only need one or two shots for them to take out an enemy Ageny. But if you’re after the best rifles, consider the Phantom and Vandal<\/a>. These two offer high and fast damage consistency, and they’re semi-automatic, making combat much more destructive and enjoyable.<\/p>

Snipers<\/strong> deal the most damage in VALORANT<\/em> because one shot can literally one-shot an enemy Agent. While this can be highly desirable, the downside is that they’re pretty costly. But if you want to use the best sniper, get The Operator. <\/p>

As deadly as it’s namesake. Screenshot by Dot Esports via Riot Games.<\/figcaption><\/figure> Heavy guns,<\/strong> often referred to as heavies, are essentially bullet hoses. They aren’t too accurate, so if you’re not good at aiming, you can blame it on this weapon. They also take some time to ramp up. But the perk of heavies is that they have the potential to kill multiple enemies.<\/p>

While abilities are essential to the game's identity,\u00a0weapons\u00a0are at its core. So, understanding all the weapons you can buy and when to buy them can significantly affect your gameplay.\u00a0 There are\u00a018 guns available, each with\u00a0its own strengths and stats. They fall into six categories: sidearms, SMGs, shotguns, rifles, snipers, and heavies. All Weapons in VALORANT Sidearms Despite their small size, sidearms can deal a fair amount of damage, even if they are generally purchased when your team is low on money or if you need to save it. The best sidearms in\u00a0VALORANT\u00a0are\u00a0Ghost and Sheriff, as they can each deal over 100 head damage and over 30 to the body.

The best SMG is the Spectre, but the cost can be brutal.

However, the downside to shotguns is that their long-range damage is almost nonexistent. So, if you prefer sniping or dealing damage from afar, shotguns will not be your friends. Of all the shotguns in\u00a0VALORANT,\u00a0the Judge can be a powerful shotgun in the right hands.

This is because the best guns (Bulldog, Guardian, Phantom, and Vandal) only need one or two shots for them to take out an enemy Ageny. But if\u00a0you're after the best rifles, consider the\u00a0Phantom and Vandal. These two offer high and fast damage consistency, and they're semi-automatic, making combat much more destructive and enjoyable.

While this can be highly desirable, the downside is that they're pretty costly. But if you want to use the best sniper, get The Operator.\u00a0 Gun Cost Stats (penetration) Head Body Legs and arms Dropoff distance Fire rate Run speed Reload speed MagazineMarshal 950 1.5\/1.2 (medium) 202 101 85 N\/A 1.5 5.4 2.5 5 Outlaw 2,400 (high) 238 140 110 N\/A 2.75 4.32 3.8 2\/10 Operator 4,700 0.75\/0.75 (high) 255 150 120 N\/A 0.6 5.13 3.7 5 Heavy Heavy guns, often referred to as heavies, are essentially bullet hoses. They aren't too accurate, so if you're not good at aiming, you can blame it on this weapon. They also take some time to ramp up. But the perk of heavies is that they have the potential to kill multiple enemies.
