VALORANT 2.08 Best Weapons

S Tier - Operator, Vandal, Phantom

The game's most powerful weapons continue to remain popular in this new patch. The Vandal and Phantom in particular are weapons that succeed on both attack and defense.

A Tier - Spectre, Sheriff, Odin, Ghost, Bucky

The Spectre continues to be one of the top SMGs in the meta. The Ghost deals the most damage among the other pistols. On maps with close chokepoints and corridors, the Odin does serious damage to teams, which makes multikills more common. Finally, the Bucky can deal serious damage to enemies in close combat.

B Tier - Judge, Frenzy, Stinger, Marshal, Bulldog

All the weapons on this list are still viable and successful. The Frenzy, an extremely successful shotgun, the Marshal, which is low-cost and deals high damage, the Stinger, which is effective in close combat, the Bulldog, which is as successful a weapon as the Vandal, and the Judge take their place on this list.

C Tier - Classic, Ares, Shorty, Guardian

Of these weapons, the Classic is known as the best among them and for being free. The Ares appears as a version of the Odin with a lower rate of fire. The Shorty can be valuable in low-cost rounds. Finally, the Guardian is known for being semi-automatic and much more flexible to use than other assault rifles.
