10 Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting Valorant

In competitive FPS games where you can buy the guns you use, having the right tools in your arsenal can mean the difference between an easy victory or a quick defeat, especially in Valorant , a highly successful game that will come out of beta soon . This is why it is always important to know which weapons are worth your time, and which are not. Even though the type of gun people get comes down to personal preference, there are some that are so much better than the rest, that it might be worth pushing yourself to try different playsty


Additionally, as a Sentinel , Cypher makes use of traps and surveillance gadgets to reveal the location of enemies on the map. Cypher users in a squad can tap into this information to ambush enemies and end matches quic


Guardian is perfect for anyone who likes a gun with very decent damage output, as well as it being a single-fire gun. The gun isn't too expensive, yet offers just enough damage to make it a good pick in most situations. Although its effectiveness at scoring kills can't hold a candle to some of the top guns on the list, the Guardian is still a very powerful gun, especially in the earlier rou


One of Viper's abilities is her Poison Cloud. Like a lot of different characters in Valorant, this acts as some easy visual cover to make use of, but at the end of the day, functions in a unique way, as does everybody else's. These can be set around whenever you'd like, and so set up well before there's danger present, and activated and deactivated at will (as long as you have enough fu


Valorant is the latest multiplayer game on the Twitch scene that has some of the platform's top personalities becoming obsessed with Riot's new video game IP. The game mixes the triggered character-specific abilities players have become familiar with in titles like Overwatch and Rainbow Six: Siege and layers them on top of a first-person shooter title eerily similar to Valve's Counter-Strike series which remains extremely popular on PC. Let's look at 10 things everyone wished they knew before starting Valora

The Vandal is the favorite weapon of a lot of Valorant players for various reasons. Although the huge pricetag might drive away some, it more than makes up for it with good accuracy, good rate of fire, and damage that doesn't degrade depending on the distance of your target. This means that player accuracy is rewarded, as headshots with this gun are guaranteed kills, regardless of how far the enemy is or if they're wearing ar


A Short – Near the rugs remains a solid spot to place the Spycam, however, Riot Games seems to dislike the area for this use. We have already seen this changed in a recent patch, partly as an exploit, partly for being too difficult to quickly and easily note where the Spycam is located.

The Phantom can be considered as the big brother of the Spectre, as it takes everything the Spectre offers and turns it up a few notches. Pretty much everything about the Phantom is great - the damage output is big, the rate of fire is fast, and the magazine size allows players to spray bullets at the general direction of enemies for longer. The only downside is that it costs a fair amount of credits, meaning that there is little to no chance you'll be able to afford it in the early rou


Much like every other ability that functions in this way, Viper's Poison Cloud can be used as a method for pushing or defending, depending on which way you would like to use it and how the enemy team is playing a certain section of the map. When attacking, the Poison Cloud can be used as a way to cut off a sightline the enemy is using to prevent your team from getting where they need to get. On Defense, the cloud can be used to force attackers to come around a corner/through a hallway without knowing what's on the other side, creating a very lopsided situation for them to overc


There are ten different characters (Agents) currently available to play in the Valorant closed beta, each of them fitting into one of four different classes: Controller, Initiator, Sentinel, and Duelist. Each of those four roles has different strengths and weaknesses, and each character accomplishes the goals of their roles in a different


Valorant may be inspired by Overwatch , but it isn't Overwatch . You should never go around the map spamming your abilities simply because you can. Think of the game as a first-person shooter that lets you use abilities as opposed to a hero shoo


If you're not a big fan of getting close and personal with enemies, and you don't have a lot of credits to spare, then Marshal is the perfect weapon. It is a sniper rifle that does very good damage, especially considering its relatively low price. Being a cheap sniper, however, it offers damage that falls a bit short from giving you one-shot-kills against enemies with armor, as well as a pretty slow rate of f
