Top 5 Most Popular Weapons in Valorant

5. SHERIFF – If you ever played CS:GO, then you know how popular Desert Eagle is there. We all like to get those clean "One Deags" and turn the game around with it. Out of all Valorant weapons, we decided to place Sheriff at number 5. It is relatively cost-efficient and it gives you a chance to get one hit kill for $800. All in all, Sheriff really is one of the most used weapons in Valorant even though it's not a rifle. (Image credit: Riot Games)

4. SPECTRE – Out of all SMGs, the Spectre is by far the most popular one. Even if it doesn't offer that much in terms of damage, it still provides a nice burst with low recoil and insane fire rate. It may not be prioritized over rifles such as Phantom and Vandal, but the Spectre belongs to this list of Valorant weapons because it is mostly used on force buys since it costs only $1600. To summarize, Spectre will give you a decent chance of getting a kill, but only at close range. It is better for you to avoid long-range combat with this SMG. (Image credit: Riot Games)

3. OPERATOR – Did anyone notice a difference between the AWP from CS:GO and the Operator from Valorant? We did not. This weapon is the ultimate glass cannon that will cost you $4500. If you decide to opt in for the sniper rifle, you are either broke next round or you will play without armor. However, with the amount of control and rotation possibility Operator provides, it is definitely worth it, especially if it is wielded by a person that does not mind holding an angle for a longer period of time. However, in the wrong hands, this weapon will get you nowhere, so careful how you spend your hard-earned credits! (Image credit: Riot Games)

2. PHANTOM – The ranking of last two weapons is mostly a matter of taste – some people will trade damage for accuracy and vice-versa. From our point of view, Valorant's Phantom is the second-best weapon in the game and here is why. Let's be clear, it does not allow that one-hit kill potential. To compensate for that, though, this weapon has a decent fire rate and excellent accuracy. Furthermore, the recoil control is really simple for this weapon which makes "spray and pray" a viable option. For a total of $2900, you are getting yourself a weapon packed with good fire rate and decent damage. On top of that, you are allowing yourself a chance to take long-range duels. In most cases, you will end up on top if facing SMGs such as the Spectre. (Image credit: Riot Games)

1. VANDAL – From out point of view, the Vandal is the best Valorant weapon by far. Even if it doesn't offer the best accuracy or recoil, this weapon will provide you with the Holy Grail of first-person shooters – one-hit kill potential. One headshot is all it takes to open a round for you team. We believe that this means a lot, especially once combined with the absolute highest damage in the game (except for Ares and Operator). All in all, this Valorant rifle will offer you a chance to bring you individual skill to the next level. The best thing about Vandal is that it also costs $2900. This rifle will provide you with everything you need to climb ranks in Valorant. (Image credit: Riot Games)
