Categories of Weapons & Individual Guns in Valorant

Before we get into the individual weapons or guns in the game, one must understand that there are different categories or classes of weapons.

The following are the different categories of weapons in Valorant:

• Sidearms 

• SMGs (Submachine guns)

• Shotguns

• Rifles

• Snipers

• Heavies

Let us take a look at all the weapons that come under each category, starting with sidearms. 

Sidearms

Sidearms is a category popularly used during the first round to gauge the finances as well as warm up for the upcoming, adrenaline pumping match. This is also used during economy rounds if you wish to save credits to buy a better gun. While these guns are not as effective as the others, they are still quite effective when you want to take down enemies with less HP. Not only this, some these sidearms can be a massive companion with other guns. 

The weapons in the sidearms category are as follows:

• Classic (free at the start of each round)

• Shorty (150 Creds)

• Frenzy (450 Creds)

• Ghost (500 Creds)

• Sheriff (800 Creds)

SMGs

Submachine Guns or SMGs are an economic alternative to heavy rifles when you’re running out of money. These are not very effective but very economic and useful during low-stakes situations. 

The weapons in the SMGs category are as follows:

• Stinger (950 Creds)

• Spectre (1,600 Creds)

Shotguns

If you are looking for weapons that are effective when your enemies are in close-range, then shotguns are the way to go. These can come in handy when you are camping in a corner and your enemy passes by, not knowing you are lurking behind. And boom! A close range shot can take them out. 

The weapons in the Shotguns category are as follows:

• Bucky (850 Creds)

• Judge (1,850 Creds)

Rifles

Rifles is one of the most picked categories in the game. Players often save up and try to retain their creds to use these weapons in every round. These are the most effective weapons and can be quite hard to maneuver in the beginning. However, with practice, players can utilize weapons in this category to take out their enemies. 

The weapons in the rifles category are as follows:

• Bulldog (2,050 Creds)

• Guardian (2,250 Creds)

• Phantom (2,900 Creds)

• Vandal (2,900 Creds)

Snipers

These guns are designed for long-range stakeouts. Players who prefer to take their time and shoot from certain angles are best suited for this category. These long-range killers are fatal to an enemy if shot right. With appropriate practice, this becomes an involuntary choice itself. 

The weapons in the snipers category are as follows:

• Marshal (950 Creds)

• Operator (4,700 Creds)

Heavies

Heavies, also referred to as machine guns by many, are best suited for spraying your enemies with bullets. These guns are effective, but only when a player showers multiple bullets at once. If you are applying a hit and run strategy in the game or just want to have some fun, then heavies are the chosen one. 

The weapons in heavies category are as follows:

• Ares (1,600 Creds)

• Odin (3,200 Creds)

This covers all the weapons in the game that players can purchase for the mentioned amount of creds. You can strategically use these weapons at different stages of the game to tip the odds in your favor.
