It’s the most impactful decision you can make when playing VALORANT<\/em>. Yes, more important than agent selection, the decision between the Vandal or Phantom, or the decision to mute the toxic Jett after the first time they used their microphone. Should I save this weapon or go for a retake?<\/strong><\/p>
Going for a save effectively means giving the round to the other team, choosing to hold onto your weapon for the next round rather than risk losing it. On the other hand, pulling off a successful retake means moving one round closer to the 13 needed for victory while delivering a massive blow to your opponents. But going for it and failing means you lose the round and your weapons. <\/p>
As you can imagine, every situation is different, so allow me to run you through my checklist of things to consider when deciding whether to save or go for a retake when playing VALORANT<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>
