In between each round of Valorant, players can purchase a primary, a sidearm, Mojang Security and shield. The weapons that are available can easily be compared to CS:GO. For example, the « Frenzy » in Valorant looks just like the « CZ-75 » from CS:GO . The « Phantom » looks like an « AK-47. » And so on and so forth. Some may say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, others would say that Valve uses variations of real-life weapons, and Riot Games just uses those same guns, but spruces them up with a bit of and fantasy and imaginat

Lacking other game modes post-launch could result in player fatigue, further exacerbated with the game’s small map p

VALORANT is a new First-Person Shooter (FPS) game that Riot Games has had in the works for several years, and the release is growing closer. Here, a team of five Agents against another five in a battle for supremacy.

Games like Rainbow Six: Siege have shown the industry that gun skill can matter as much as strategic planning. Valorant seems to focus on both and, from closed beta footage so far, has nailed the impact of both. Learning every Agent and the spray patterns of every gun will be a long journey that Counter-Strike players can relate to. The reward is massive, as you get immediate feedback at how much better you’re becoming by placing more headshots or landing skills in more intense scenar
