What To Look For

You can also buy Valorant Points on U7BUY right now! When looking at the different Valorant guns and weapons in Valorant, we will look at how well they fit into the current meta of the game. This takes into account the weapon’s popularity with most players and why that is. This could be a multitude of factors including how much ammo per reload can be used, how fast the reload times are, and the overall damage of the Valorant weapon.

The tier list will also be ranked from S-tier down to C-tier. S-tier will include the best and most popular weapons in Valorant as of writing. The ranking will then go down to eventually C-tier where the Valorant weapons aren’t necessarily bad but are definitely used far less and tend to only be useful in certain scenarios only.

The Tier List

Now we move on to the Valorant tier list itself! Below is the list going from S-tier to C-tier of every weapon playable in Valorant. Each weapon will also be gone over briefly to explain why the weapon deserves its spot on the list.

S-Tier

The weapons in S-tier are considered the absolute best in Valorant as of the time of writing. They are also worth their cost when it comes to just how effective they can be during matches and taking down opponents. They are also the best Valorant weapons for any scenario when playing offensively or defensively, which overall makes them the most reliable.

VandalAssault Rifle2,90025/75MediumCan one shoot any opponent when hitting the body. Incredibly strong on all maps especially when played offensive.
OperatorSniper Rifle4,7005HighCan one shoot any opponent when hitting the body? Incredibly strong on all maps especially when played offensive.
JudgeShotgun1,8505MediumA great weapon for players who enjoy homing in on accuracy, especially in tighter angles.
PhantomAssault Rifle2,90030/90MediumHas very similar stats with the Vandal but tends to be a lot more forgiving for newer players.

A-Tier

The Valorant weapons in the A-tier are still considered very strong weapons but just have a few more downsides compared to the weapons in the S-tier. The weapons here may be more expensive than they should be compared to their strengths and have some quirks that make them weaker on some Valorant maps.

OutlawSidearm2,4002HighA very powerful Valorant gun that has the capability to one-shot players with lighter armor. However, the reload times are incredibly slow.
OdinHeavy3,200100HighVery oppressive with wall-bang kills. Great for offense overall but may take some getting used to.
StingerSMG1,10020LowIs known for its great running accuracy and fire rate but suffers when it comes to spread range.
SheriffSidearm8006HighIs by far the most powerful pistol in the game and is a must have.
BulldogAssault Rifle2,05024MediumStruggles with its damage unless when doing ADS (Aim-Down Shifting) burst mode. Only then can it take down mighty opponents.

B-Tier

The Valorant weapons in the B-tier are much more situational but can still thrive and perform well with the right players and strategies. However, these weapons tend to be a bit more unbalanced when it comes to how they perform overall, but their perks are still able to make them shine and stand out enough to make them worth choosing on certain Valorant maps.

MarshallSniper Rifle9505MediumIs able to body-kill opponents without armor and has some good burst damage as well.
SpectreSMG1,60030MediumHas a high fire rate that makes it useful for taking down enemies at a closer range. Not bad for its pricing.
GuardianDMR2,25012HighRelatively strong against players with lighter armor. While relatively decent, Valorant weapons like the Vander or Phantom are worth saving up for when compared.
ClassicSidearmFree12LowNot bad of a choice especially when considering its availability. However, it’s best to still replace it when you can.
GhostSidearm50015MediumIs able to headshot players with no armor which is incredibly powerful when considering the price. Other than that, though, there’s not much else to mention.

C-Tier

Finally, we get to the C-tier Valorant weapons. As mentioned before, these weapons aren’t all entirely bad, but their qualities require way too specific situations to arrive in order to really shine. Because of this, you will rarely see these weapons picked up by other players during matches and likely for good reason.

ShortySidearm3002LowThis gun has been nerfed too many times to be nearly as strong as it used to be. Not worth the price tag for a sidearm.
FrenzySidearm45013LowHas suffered through a lot of nerfs which have greatly affected its spread and even had its price increased.
BuckyShotgun8505LowCan give out very powerful shots, especially when in close-range combat. However, there are other Valorant guns that are just way more reliable when compared.
AresHeavy1,60050HighHas great wall penetration but is fairly inaccurate especially when doing ADS. Worth replacing with better options.
KnifeN/AFreeN/AN/ACan possibly be used to sneak up behind someone but requires a very specific playstyle and maybe even some luck. For most players, the knife is simply their last resort in a fight.
