Across various Valorant game modes, players can use their in-game credits to purchase weapons to aid them in their FPS experience. Listed below are five of Valorant's best weapons that players simply cannot resist spending their credits on.

Valorant's 5 Best Weapons In 2021

Sheriff

Price : 800

Ammo/Spare Ammo: 6/24

The Sheriff is perhaps one of the most popular and effective pistols in Valorant. Priced at 800 credits, this pistol is capable of eliminating enemies within 30m with a single head shot. Beyond 30m, the Sheriff deals 145 HP in damage and will likely incapacitate the opponent to a near-fatal state. Depending on the distance, body shots deal 50-55 HP in damage.

The most effective use of Sheriff seen in Valorant is during rounds where the entire team compromises their purchases to save their finances for the next round. The Sheriff's One Tap potential makes him a dangerous weapon that can turn the tide of a match in an instant. Even though the damage done is enormous, the Sheriff is the only gun in the game that can penetrate armor/high walls.

Specters

Price : 1600

Ammo/Spare Ammo: 30/90

Specter is an SMG that can be considered as the best weapon in Valorant and the most popular used in Valorant. Unlike the Stinger, the Specter offers lower damage and attack speed in exchange for accuracy, magazine capacity, and silencers. Headshots produce 66-78 HP in damage, depending on range, while body shots produce less than 22-26 HP per shot.

Specter has a special place in the Valorant community because of its “Shoot and Run” nature. Due to its relatively high movement accuracy and considerable mid-range damage, the Specter serves as the perfect equipment to deal damage on the move.

Operator

Price : 5000

Ammo/Spare Ammo: 5/10

An elite sniper rifle in all aspects, the Operator is arguably Valorant's best weapon and overtakes every weapon in Valorant in terms of range and damage dealt. On all fronts, Operator is able to provide 255 HP on head shots, 150 HP on body and 120 HP on foot shots. Players can also zoom in 2.5x or 5x with the Alt Fire button.

Operators are able to finish off enemies with a single shot in most scenarios, making this the most dominant weapon Valorant players have access to. However, it suffers from considerable movement inaccuracy, and is on par with game LMGs in terms of weight. High wall penetration is one of the positives that snipers have to offer.

Vandals

Price : 2900

Ammo/Spare Ammo: 30/90

Vandals and Phantoms are the two most popular weapons used in all of the elos of Valorant and are among the best weapons in Valorant. The weapon is unique in terms of range and damage. Unlike other rifles, the Vandal's damage does not vary by range. The weapon deals 160 HP damage in head shots, defeating enemies with one tap. However, Vandal has significantly lower body and leg damage, providing 40 HP and 34 HP respectively.

The Vandal is the Valorant equivalent of CS:GO's famous AK-47. The weapon attracts users because of its one tap kill potential. The inaccuracy of the Vandal's first shot is why the Phantom may have an advantage over the guns. That said, its medium wall penetration and high DPS make the Vandal the conventional choice for a primary weapon during buy rounds.

Phantoms

Price : 2900

Ammo/Spare Ammo: 30/90

The Phantom is on par with the Vandals in terms of effectiveness. Unlike the Vandal, the Phantom's damage varies by range. A headshot within 15m can take down an enemy in one shot, dealing 156 HP in damage. Headshot damage reduced to 140 for 15-30m and 124 after 30m. Body shots cost 31-39 HP depending on range.

The Phantom is one of Valorant's best weapons as well and gains an edge over the Vandal in terms of first-shot accuracy. It features larger magazines and reserves, and has a higher rate of fire, moderate wall penetration and lower spread. Additionally, the Phantom's suppressor helps conceal its bullet spray pattern, making it the most efficient choice in a variety of in-game scenarios. Phantom can also be named the best weapon in Valorant in 2021.
