Valorant is the Riot Games’ latest competitive shooter. It is very similar to popular competitive FPS. However, it has been noted that the game resembles CS:GO the most. Therefore, if you have played CS:GO before, you won’t have any difficulty playing Valorant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are someone who has previously been playing Quake or Overwatch, have played tactical FPS games, or have just started playing shooting games, you will find Valorant a little confusing. <\/p>\n\n\n

    Game Information<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Let’s tell you a bit about the game. The classic game mode of Valorant consists of two teams. Each team has five players. There are different rounds that consist of a buy phase of 30 seconds<\/strong> and an active phase of 1 minute, 40 seconds<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The role of an attacker in the game is to plant a spike or eliminate the enemies to win. On the other hand, the defender is supposed to prevent the spike’s explosion. This can be done by removing the attacker or defusing the spike – if it has been planted. The first team that gets 13 points will win<\/strong> the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adjusting to Valorant can be difficult. However, like every game, there are some tips and tricks<\/a> that players should know before they start the game. In this article, you will find all the tips and tricks that you should know about before you begin playing Valorant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Know your arsenal (recommendations) <\/h2>\n\n\n

    Just like CS:GO, every round of Valorant will start with a buy period. This is the period when you can buy your weapons<\/a>. Every weapon is unique and knowing what every weapon can do and how it can help you will be of great help while buying weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For instance, the phantom is one of the best assault rifles for mid to long-range. The alternate fire of the phantom will provide you with ADS with greater accuracy. During the buy period, your buy screen will provide detailed information of the range, fire rate, and damage of the weapon your mouse is on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco means this is a good gun to use when saving money for the next round. We put our own personal recommendations on a few of the guns as we see and use them the most in our own personal game time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We highly recommend<\/strong> learning the Spectre as it is a great beginner weapon. Though it’s only an SMG and does not have a strong range, the weapon has little to no recoil as well if you are stuck in close-quarter combat, you will dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n Use the practice range for warmups (aim routine)<\/h2>\n\n\n Other than the initial tutorial, there are various ways to practice the basics of Valorant. While you can use the shooting test and check the weapon sensitivity, the open range allows you to access all the tutorials that Valorant has to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting the game, you should definitely try the open range. It allows you to check out the weapons and the abilities of the agents with unlimited funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, you will be able to figure out which weapon suits you the best. Moreover, it allows you to try any agent you want here. You can also try the agents that you have not unlocked yet. Thus, making things fun for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n\t \n\t https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SFtywqoW9lA<\/a>
