All Valorant Weapons

Master every weapon in VALORANT with detailed stats, spray patterns, and tactical guides

Understanding VALORANT's Arsenal

VALORANT's diverse weapon system is designed to reward skill, strategy, and economic management. Each weapon category serves a specific tactical purpose, from close-quarters combat to long-range precision. Understanding weapon characteristics, recoil patterns, and optimal engagement ranges is crucial for competitive success.

Sidearms

Secondary weapons including pistols and revolvers for close-quarters combat and eco rounds

SMGs

Submachine guns with high fire rates, perfect for aggressive plays and close-range engagements

Shotguns

High-damage close-range weapons with multiple pellet spread for devastating short-range encounters

Rifles

Versatile primary weapons effective at medium to long range, the backbone of most loadouts

Snipers

Long-range precision weapons capable of one-shot eliminations with proper positioning

Heavy

Machine guns with large magazines and high penetration, ideal for area denial and suppression

Melee

Close-combat weapons for silent eliminations and increased movement speed

Weapon Mechanics & Strategy

Damage System

Weapons deal different damage based on body part hit (head/body/legs) and distance. Headshot multipliers reward precision, while leg shots reduce damage. Most weapons have damage dropoff at longer ranges.

Accuracy & Spread

First shot accuracy varies by weapon. Continuous firing increases spread. Movement penalties apply when shooting while moving. Crouching improves accuracy, while jumping severely reduces it.

Economy Strategy

Weapon purchases impact your team's economy. Eco rounds use cheap weapons, force buys spend everything, and full buys maximize firepower when you have sufficient credits.

Tactical Usage

Each weapon excels in specific scenarios. Entry fraggers favor rifles and SMGs, support players use rifles and snipers, while anchors often hold angles with precision weapons.

Pro Tip: All agents start with a free Classic sidearm and Tactical Knife. Weapons persist through rounds until death, and can be picked up from fallen players.
