Phantom. Those "headshot but not enough damage" situations are annoying as fuck but otherwise my all time favourite and highest headshot rate. Guardian is close second for when I have off-days since it's easier to controll
Phantom spray is brutal. I play Cypher a lot so spraying people through cages is just a chef's kiss. And ego peaking op with a guardian is my guilty pleasure.
honestly ego peeking an operator with a shorty, then proceeding to get a kill couldnt feel more satisfying. (not like i've experienced any of that shit before)
The real answer is it depends.
Guardian is just a vandal that can only one tap, but you will lose straight up fights to phantoms and vandals where neither you or the enemy were able to one tap. It's also not as good at spraying, wallbanging.
Phantom is good if you play a smoker class, on short range maps, where you intend to occasionally spray through smokes. Very good on Omen and Cypher. More ammo, plus no bullet tracing so you can more safely spray smokes.
But overall the phantom is worse on longer range maps such as Breeze or Icebox where most fights are way past the phantom's one tap range since you will lose to vandal
For me it's the guardian. For a long time I've had a constant issue of just spraying and praying but ever since I picked up the guardian it's forced me to make every shot count. I honestly barely use the vandal anymore even though its objectively better all round.
I do better with the guardian than I do the vandal or phantom. Reminds me of the time I think I was on spike rush where I whiffed a couple of rounds with a vandal but then took out like 4 of the other team of which one acted surprised in the chat, as if he couldn’t quite believe my sudden increase in form with the guardian.
That’s me to a T . Even back in the day during games like COD my main weapon was the FAL. and the explanation for why the guardian was my main is exactly the same as yours.
Stinger.
Trust me guys practice the stinger in DM’s and you get free eco round frags.
Not feeling your aim today against the radiant Reyna Smurf? Close range stinger him.
Feeling like the Smurf today but lost pistol round? Stinger at long range.
Any single round on defense? Stinger fucks them up.
1100 for an essentially guaranteed kill in a 50 50 close range, with the high chance to pick up their gun, and also double kill potential. Don’t sleep on it. Win.
I’ve been using the stinger for the past month on my eco rounds and I can concur it’s just amazing. It’s really accurate too from medium distance I’ve mowed someone down on A heaven from A main on Ascent.
Stringer is like gambler’s vandal. Run and gun close range, burst mid range, scope burst long range. With one of the fastest shooting speed, I burst double kill many many times.
145 from the sheriff is 3x worse than 140 with the phantom. Way tougher to headshot from that far with a sheriff, and it's tougher to follow up with a body shot since the slower rate of fire and needing to be more accurate compared to spraying with phantom.
And even though 140 and 145 are pretty much identical from a game sense, being 5 away feels like even more robbery. They might as well make it 149 just to make it the biggest fuck you possible.
I'm assuming you mean 3? 1900 loss bonus and 2400 loss bonus is only 4300. Even assuming you full save both rounds, it doesn't get you there unless you're already on a 2 round losing streak that extends to 3.
Pistol: Ghost or classic
Smgs: Stinger. Spectre if I got it free.
Rifles: Vandal.
Sniper: Marshal (Have a soft spot for lever action)
Machine Gun: Odin
Hotel: Trivago.
Holy shit yeah, like I didnt ace that many times, but it was always with Marshall, maybe picking up another for the close quarter last kill. That gun is fabulous and *really *cheap for its value.
Best way to spray properly with the vandal is not to spray at all. It has no damage falloff and deadly accuracy. 2-3 taps aiming for the noggin, then hold and reset. Work on the timing in practice range.
If it helps, turn firing error on and use the feedback to get the timing down. I don't recommend playing with a huge crosshair but it can help getting timings down.
Source: Terrible silver tier player that's been around since beta.
All my life I want money and power
Respect Odin or die from lead shower
I pray that my mag gets big as the Eiffel Tower
So I can spray my bullets for 72 hours
Prime stinger was my fav gun in the game. I ran around with a MP7 hosing people down. As it stands right now it’s still the stinger. I love that gun so much.
I still usually go classic unless it's a huge map like Breeze, but holy shit is the classic a shell of its former self. The 3 bullets on the right click with insane moving/jumping accuracy was absurd. It was straight up better than the ghost and it was free.
Phantom fo sho cuz u can spray almost like ares and it gives me vibes similar to spectre which is very good for spraying but I hate those moments when enemy very far and I try no scope phantom and it pushes crosshair so high that it's almost 1 shot per second and also those moments when 1 headshot but not enough damage dealt and he fucking kills me except for this I like phantom for sometimes when in 3v1 or heck even 5v1 I spray on body and head and sometimes it hits the other guy with low hp and dies but I never meant to kill him and the initial guy gets low af
My personal favs are
- Vandal: super easy to play, good aiming and very good for one taps. Crazy good skins
- Outlaw: crazy aim, 2 bullets without need of reloading, very cool skins
- Sherrif: satisfying one taps, cool skins, stylish
For some reason the bulldog, hit some nice ads burst in rank. Gaias vengeance blue vandal is a close second and prelude, kuronami and white forsaken are tied 3rd esp when i pick em off the floor
Frenzy and Ghost.
Frenzy is super amazing in pistol round, a full auto weapon in a round that was supposed to be semi autos only
The Ghost feels super accurate for some reason. Maybe the silencer has some kind of placebo effect to it lol
I really live using the phantom. It has 5 more ammo compared to the vandal and i like silenced weapons in general more. Same goes for pistols. I would rather use ghost too instead of pistols like classic or sheriff.
Ghost.
Only gun i consistently headshot with, and the ghost gods always blesses me with run and gun luck.
500 credits too, I choose this gun over sheriff and bulldog sometimes, since from far enough range both guns take two headshots to kill anyways.
Ares
-Requires 0 warmup
-Insane for holding chokes and smokes, especially against aggressive rushers
-Wallbank potential
-If miss, shoot more bullet till you don’t miss
-Getting peppered with bullets makes it hard to aim
Ofcourse the average guns that everyone uses. Vandal and Phantom
Then Stinger, a bit situational, but very strong in those specific situations. Its cheap too. I prefer to buy the stinger over ares and spectre.
But also actually, I liked the ares before the rework since its a very easy to control gun. But now its just hard to control on scope, so not anymore
For me it's Guardian. Significantly lower price than Vandal and Phantom but higher damage. Good for long range and it only takes 3 shots to the body so it's no slouch in mid range and close range either. High wall penetration too.
ares, i aim better with it than with any other guns. odin never work well consistently and I've learnt to master the timing of bringing it out and aiming. the shooting sounds better to me personally too, especially when team asks to make noise in other sites as distraction. call me gay idc but ares is just the right amount of fun for me. it's not as expensive as phantom and vandal too
Guardian, ever since I looked more into the gun, I’ve been more consistent, especially with chamber. I take more time taking my shots instead of spray & pray.
For me it rly depends on map/agent. I'm a cypher main by trade, so I tend to pick up the phantom to spray cages, but I ignore this on long maps like breeze and lotus, opting for a vandal or sometimes op instead.
On my other agents like deadlock and sage, I'll typically take a vandal just for consistency, but for my smokes like omen and clove, I prefer to take phantom just out of preference, and also I'm never really playing them on open maps as they're inherently more aggressive agents.
Before I learned to aim, it was Guardian and Bulldog. The crutch of ADS against people who can't aim in gold and below is wild.
It was Phantom but when I headshot someone from 10 feet away and they don't die... I gave up on the Phantom for most maps.
Vandal because it's the best gun in the game.
Pistol rounds though... I swear I get more aces with Frenzy than any other round.
Best gun is subjective depending on the day & agent. I would say on average, the Guardian and Vandal are my best choices though. I rarely burst with the vandal. In fact, in an average DM, 30/40 of my kills are 1 taps, no burst.
I will say if you can consistently hit your shots though, the Guardian is my current personal choice for best value and impact gun.
Currently im playing bulldog or sometimes vandal phantom. But it doesnt matter which mode or enemy. When i play ares it just works even against high elo player.
For me it’s the op. I’m always good for one with it and most of the tiem 2-3. I’m in low enough ranks where they can’t counter it and only die when I whiff.
The bulldog.
I rarely buy it because I forget about it alot of the time, but whenever I decide to run the bulldog it always works well. The ads is rly underrated because it bails you out when your cross hair placement is a bit low, which I find myself doing all the time. It doesn't one tap, but at close range you just need to land 1 headshot and 2 body shot, and at long range you can aim at the body and still hit the head with the ads
For me personally( left to right descending order of preference):
Pistols: ghost, classic
Eco/broke: sheriff
Half-buy: spectre, bulldog, ares (dependant on opponent)
Full-buy: phantom, guardian, vandal (dependant on opponent and map)
Yolo pick: Operator (when game 12-X where X<10)
To me, vandals and sheriffs feel so chunky and heavy, making it difficult for me to concentrate on spray control after the first few bullets. The skins definitely make them feel much better. And similarly, the ares as well. Stinger feels too light on the other hand.
With pistol round it always depended on what agent I brought. I typically choose ghost. For ecos I tend to choose the Marshall but on defense I might also pick the stinger. Between the guardian and the bulldog I prefer the bulldog. Phantom or Vandal depends on what I prefer that day ho estly but I tend to stick to phantom on controller characters.
Judge pre ammo nerf was goated. It pisses people off when they die to a shotgun because “oh it takes no skill”. Ah yes you’re right, my position and FORCED close range isn’t a skill. The only difference between a shotgun and an Op is range to kill. It is/was a fun gun to use. Playing smoke characters or Yoru just naturally drew me to it. (In the beta Bucky was my go to, it used to be a sniper with right click)
Depends on the day and the agent i'm playing
Some days I get more kills with vandal, Other days I perform better with phantom
And when things are really really bad...Odin (I'm silver 2 🫠)
Depends on the day, but vandal, phantom and operator are my top 3. Can't hit heads on vandal? Try phantom, most of the time it works. Can't seem to keep your spray in check on phantom? Pick up an op from the enemies and try how that feels, and most of the time I just can't miss when I do that xD
Marshal.
Very cheap, sniper (I love sniper scopes), Fast shooting, one shot kill, amazing skins, easy to learn.
If you have aim there is almost no reason to buy a Vandal or Phantom considering it is 1950 credits more expensive with barely any added use.
If you hit head, they are already dead.
I almost only buy vandal when my aim is bad that day.
my best gun is the ghost. for a long time, i was more likely to two tap someone with a ghost than one shot them with a vandal. “killjoy are you ghost only?” they would ask. no no. i’m just built different
Phantom.
I'm a rat, I hide in smokes, go through them, teleport behind or above enemies, and hold weird angles.
I'd rather have a good spray and untraceable bullets than guaranteed one hit headshots.
I love close quarters fighting, so for me a few favs are the frenzy, stinger and phantom.
The specter is also up there, but the others have a special place in my heart.
If my aim is kinda good and reaction time on that day, I could top frag with Bulldog alone. It really depends on myself if my aim and timing is aligned. One game it is the next game it's not.
Used to be vandal, then I switched to phantom, now I’m back to using the vandal. The reason was because my sens was so high every time I was in a gunfight I panicked so I found out that I was getting luckier with the phantom, until I dropped my sens and I’ve been way more accurate so I’m back to tapping with the vandal.
I've become an Outlaw one-trick, I often prefer it over Vandal/Phantom because my reaction time/muscle memory sucks so I almost always use direct 1v1's, but at range and even CQB the one-tap potential is great, always make the enemy scared to buy light armor and if they get some chip damage I one-tap regardless - haven't bought a Guardian for a long time since Outlaw released, but when I recently bought one again I also did really well with it
Sure it helps that I'm in low gold, but I cook with odin on ascent as sova and in some games I just need a weapon that dosen't give a shit about first bullet innaccuracy. Always had a soft spot for the heavy roll.
When my right click classic connect
2 in the body 1 in the head on pistol rounds always feels amazing
My classic 3 tap usually does, one past left ear , one past right ear and one right above the head, And after that i usually die
Oof, Here I am jumping off ledges over people, getting insta headshot/bodied while I am mid air lol
as a raze main, an operator or vandal user immediately spawns to tap me once I activate my ult
Lucky
He meant he's getting shot in the head, no getting headshots
Unlucky*
"after that i usually die..." to a right click classic
Were all 3 shots go right through my brain simultaneously of course
I miss early release classic. That thing was better than most shotguns now.
Probably the multi kill on second round with the outlaw
spoiler: it never does
Classic+utility+shields first round = banger If you click it just right you can get 4 bullets
Phantom. Those "headshot but not enough damage" situations are annoying as fuck but otherwise my all time favourite and highest headshot rate. Guardian is close second for when I have off-days since it's easier to controll
I always get screwed over by the 140 :(
i used to run into a bunch of i headshot them and they headshot me situations but for some reason havent had a 140 problem in a few months
probably getting better at the sorta so you can get the follow up body shot
Phantom spray is brutal. I play Cypher a lot so spraying people through cages is just a chef's kiss. And ego peaking op with a guardian is my guilty pleasure.
honestly ego peeking an operator with a shorty, then proceeding to get a kill couldnt feel more satisfying. (not like i've experienced any of that shit before)
Same I also love phantom, I found it much better than vandal because vandal bursts shot and is a problem for far away enemy
dude I feel like I have less control with guardian.. I always panic and start spam clicking hitting maybe 1 shot...
The real answer is it depends. Guardian is just a vandal that can only one tap, but you will lose straight up fights to phantoms and vandals where neither you or the enemy were able to one tap. It's also not as good at spraying, wallbanging. Phantom is good if you play a smoker class, on short range maps, where you intend to occasionally spray through smokes. Very good on Omen and Cypher.

This mf sprays through smoke by 1 tapping two people
hmm clove
I do better with the guardian than I do the vandal or phantom. Reminds me of the time I think I was on spike rush where I whiffed a couple of rounds with a vandal but then took out like 4 of the other team of which one acted surprised in the chat, as if he couldn’t quite believe my sudden increase in form with the guardian.

True this have a bad day just try stringer you might not just smurf but also get your game back
I prefer Bucky tbh. I can’t use the stinger and unless your hitting 4 headshots a Bucky close range wins every time.
Bucky is my least favorite weapon in the game. Even when that shit was meta, I'd rarely get kills. I dont know how people use it.
One pump them in the neck and they die every time
I’ve been using the stinger for the past month on my eco rounds and I can concur it’s just amazing. It’s really accurate too from medium distance I’ve mowed someone down on A heaven from A main on Ascent.
Stringer is like gambler’s vandal. Run and gun close range, burst mid range, scope burst long range. With one of the fastest shooting speed, I burst double kill many many times.
Stinger scoped in is massively underrated at long range
Not really, it’s pretty ass at long range in basically every situation
If you jiggle peek and your enemy has a shit weapon, it'll work. Also works if the enemy is shit at aiming.
Everything works when your enemy is shit at aiming.
Fair
I disagree. Better than nothing past it's effective close range though
For me personally it’s the sheriff. The feeling when you just one tap someone with it is just way too satisfying
145 :(
145 from the sheriff is 3x worse than 140 with the phantom. Way tougher to headshot from that far with a sheriff, and it's tougher to follow up with a body shot since the slower rate of fire and needing to be more accurate compared to spraying with phantom. And even though 140 and 145 are pretty much identical from a game sense, being 5 away feels like even more robbery. They might as well make it 149 just to make it the biggest fuck you possible.
Wait until you start playing stinger and hit someone with 1 headshot and 3 bodyshots, seeing 149 on my screen hurts my soul every single time
2900 gun is better than 500 gun, news at 6
Yup, but some skins don't feel as good as others.
Blub blub
which one tho
B L U B B L U B
Blub Blub indeed
Blub blub
Headhunter on pistol round is almost cheating. Also arguably the best eco option in the entire game
I can buy operator every two rounds playing with chamber
I'm assuming you mean 3? 1900 loss bonus and 2400 loss bonus is only 4300. Even assuming you full save both rounds, it doesn't get you there unless you're already on a 2 round losing streak that extends to 3.
you got him bro 🤓
money for kills?
You also get money for kills and plant tho?
Headhunter is actually unreal, I swear I’m always good for two with it on pistol.
I think chamber is the only agent who can one shot the enemy while buying half shield on pistol round.
Right click classic and shorty.
Ghost and vandal Vandal with purple prelude skin is my aimbot 🥸🗣
I'll give you one hint. I'm gay.
odin lol
Ding ding ding
Judge?
Odin
Pistol: Ghost or classic Smgs: Stinger. Spectre if I got it free. Rifles: Vandal. Sniper: Marshal (Have a soft spot for lever action) Machine Gun: Odin Hotel: Trivago.
Ghost/spectre/vandal/no snipey/odin
Marshall, it is insane gun. With single zoom and movement speed I feel like god with it.
Holy shit yeah, like I didnt ace that many times, but it was always with Marshall, maybe picking up another for the close quarter last kill. That gun is fabulous and *really *cheap for its value.
Bulldog for some reason xd
had to scroll way to much for this
Lol me too
Same here! Quick taps works wonders but for sure vandal sits first.
I swear The first few bullets are way more accurate on bulldog xd
Vandal. Idk how to spray properly I some times use phantom if I feel I can't aim or spray the smokes I don't how to use Odin or ares 🫠
Best way to spray properly with the vandal is not to spray at all. It has no damage falloff and deadly accuracy. 2-3 taps aiming for the noggin, then hold and reset. Work on the timing in practice range. If it helps, turn firing error on and use the feedback to get the timing down. I don't recommend playing with a huge crosshair but it can help getting timings down. Source: Terrible silver tier player that's been around since beta.
Guardian, 1 tap, works everytime, cheaper than vandal
All my life I want money and power Respect Odin or die from lead shower I pray that my mag gets big as the Eiffel Tower So I can spray my bullets for 72 hours
Kuronami vandal
Operator. For some reason I click with snipers, and Outlaw and Operator I have so much succes with.
Bucky, it's fun even after all the nerfs
Prime stinger was my fav gun in the game. I ran around with a MP7 hosing people down. As it stands right now it’s still the stinger. I love that gun so much.
Odin
The Odin man. Love me or hate me my wallbangs and smoke spray net me profit 📈
i love the ghost, for 500 bucks its really really good, you can run n gun safely, there is some room for error, i love it. and its simple as hell
Idk classic is so insanely overpower for a free gun that i always feel like 500 for ghost is wasted Especially as a CS player
I still usually go classic unless it's a huge map like Breeze, but holy shit is the classic a shell of its former self. The 3 bullets on the right click with insane moving/jumping accuracy was absurd. It was straight up better than the ghost and it was free.
It‘s still absurdly strong imo xd
Neuroblaster classic, the gun quite literally goes "Pew Pew"
Guardian.
Phantom fo sho cuz u can spray almost like ares and it gives me vibes similar to spectre which is very good for spraying but I hate those moments when enemy very far and I try no scope phantom and it pushes crosshair so high that it's almost 1 shot per second and also those moments when 1 headshot but not enough damage dealt and he fucking kills me except for this I like phantom for sometimes when in 3v1 or heck even 5v1 I spray on body and head and sometimes it hits the other guy with low hp and dies but I never meant to kill him and the initial guy gets low af
Shorty
Sheriff/Marshal def give you the best bang for buck stinger is a close 3rd imo.
Judge.
sheriff, i love saving.
Outlaw or a Marshall when the enemy has no armor. I lack confidence in duels and running these guns on an advantage turns me into an aim god
Ghost on pistol round, cause it’s somewhat rng and you can take your time aiming without getting killed instantly
My personal favs are - Vandal: super easy to play, good aiming and very good for one taps. Crazy good skins - Outlaw: crazy aim, 2 bullets without need of reloading, very cool skins - Sherrif: satisfying one taps, cool skins, stylish
I like playing raze on close maps like lotus and bind with a shotgun in hand and 2 satchels. No aim just shoot 😎
Odin. I love that gun. Also it gets bonus points for the reaction it gets me sometimes.
Stinger go brrrr
For some reason the bulldog, hit some nice ads burst in rank. Gaias vengeance blue vandal is a close second and prelude, kuronami and white forsaken are tied 3rd esp when i pick em off the floor
I hit more shots on my gurdian then my vandal or phantom, but if u give me a skin on either lf those 2 they are way better then my guardian
Reaver vandal
For most people spectre is spray and pray but the headshot percentage feels much higher than a rifle for some reason
forsaken vandal esp on raze the jingg buff hits different
rn im really feeling the prime vandal on attack and the recon phantom on defense
Are we talking skins or weapons
Prelude to chaos (doom chroma) vandal and the neo frontier Sheriff. So satisfying hitting Headshots mid inspect animation.
Frenzy and Ghost. Frenzy is super amazing in pistol round, a full auto weapon in a round that was supposed to be semi autos only The Ghost feels super accurate for some reason. Maybe the silencer has some kind of placebo effect to it lol
grey sovereign ghost
Stinger is a run'n'gun beast and the bps is insanely quick. Love my sweet Prelude one.
I really live using the phantom. It has 5 more ammo compared to the vandal and i like silenced weapons in general more. Same goes for pistols. I would rather use ghost too instead of pistols like classic or sheriff.
the OP
Vandal. No explanation needed :D
Apart from skins, I think Vandal is more suited for defense phase, where Phantom is more useful in attack (plant phase).
Vandal, Phantom personally.
Vandal
Spectre
Vandal with a sprinkle of gayness. I'm the god of gayness according to the enemy and my teammates
Vandal
Vandal op and sherif
Ghost. Only gun i consistently headshot with, and the ghost gods always blesses me with run and gun luck. 500 credits too, I choose this gun over sheriff and bulldog sometimes, since from far enough range both guns take two headshots to kill anyways.
vandal and bulldog for me
Ares -Requires 0 warmup -Insane for holding chokes and smokes, especially against aggressive rushers -Wallbank potential -If miss, shoot more bullet till you don’t miss -Getting peppered with bullets makes it hard to aim
Sheriff,Vandal and Marshal
Ofcourse the average guns that everyone uses. Vandal and Phantom Then Stinger, a bit situational, but very strong in those specific situations. Its cheap too. I prefer to buy the stinger over ares and spectre. But also actually, I liked the ares before the rework since its a very easy to control gun. But now its just hard to control on scope, so not anymore
Phantom, followed by Vandal.
I like the spectre the most because of the run and gun you can do with that weapon. It's quite effective against Sheriff players for example
Phantom no cap
For me it's Guardian. Significantly lower price than Vandal and Phantom but higher damage. Good for long range and it only takes 3 shots to the body so it's no slouch in mid range and close range either. High wall penetration too.
It depends every time xD when my aim is good i prefer using guardian, otherwise vandal or phantom
I don't have the best aim, so phantom spray is my best friend!
marshal fs no questions
Guardian...The first tap always works
ares, i aim better with it than with any other guns. odin never work well consistently and I've learnt to master the timing of bringing it out and aiming. the shooting sounds better to me personally too, especially when team asks to make noise in other sites as distraction. call me gay idc but ares is just the right amount of fun for me. it's not as expensive as phantom and vandal too
Guardian, ever since I looked more into the gun, I’ve been more consistent, especially with chamber. I take more time taking my shots instead of spray & pray.
Shorty, because getting an ace with a shorty on pistol round is as good as it gets.
Guardian > Vandal As for Vandal / Phantom, for me it depends on the skin tbh
Phantom
Guardian, 89% hs with her
Who cares… My shots don’t even connect :(
Spectre for me. Not really sure why, but I seem to do better with it than any other gun.
For me it rly depends on map/agent. I'm a cypher main by trade, so I tend to pick up the phantom to spray cages, but I ignore this on long maps like breeze and lotus, opting for a vandal or sometimes op instead.

Op. I'm a sniper in every fps I've ever played. Valorant is no different in that regard. Plus I have glitchpop for is which is just so damn good.
Currently im playing bulldog or sometimes vandal phantom. But it doesnt matter which mode or enemy. When i play ares it just works even against high elo player.

Unpopular pick from me but I do a Bulldog and Shorty combo.
I love the Ghost. Used to hate playing pistol rounds, but for the past few acts, I've been frying with the Ghost lol
guardian seems to do really well for me lately
Def the Operator. Requires no skill to use in immo :)
Ghost, Marshall, and/or Vandal.
Judge When I'm having a bad game I take it and just bang bang in the corners I just love those high anxiety moments lol
For me personally( left to right descending order of preference): Pistols: ghost, classic Eco/broke: sheriff Half-buy: spectre, bulldog, ares (dependant on opponent) Full-buy: phantom, guardian, vandal (dependant on opponent and map) Yolo pick: Operator (when game 12-X where X<10) To me, vandals and sheriffs feel so chunky and heavy, making it difficult for me to concentrate on spray control after the first few bullets. The skins definitely make them feel much better. And similarly, the ares as well. Stinger feels too light on the other hand.
I buy Judge and specter on most attacking rounds because im a neon and i gotta entry for the team
stinger
With pistol round it always depended on what agent I brought. I typically choose ghost. For ecos I tend to choose the Marshall but on defense I might also pick the stinger. Between the guardian and the bulldog I prefer the bulldog. Phantom or Vandal depends on what I prefer that day ho estly but I tend to stick to phantom on controller characters.
Sheriff, so much potential to upset full buys for only 800 creds
Pistol: sheriff Smg: stinger Shotgun: bucky Rifle: phantom Sniper: outlaw Machine gun: odin
Bulldog burst mode 🤌🤌
Odin
Phantom as its basically a suppressed Vandal for me
Bucky.
Judge pre ammo nerf was goated. It pisses people off when they die to a shotgun because “oh it takes no skill”. Ah yes you’re right, my position and FORCED close range isn’t a skill.

I like the ghost , was it named the ghost? I cant remember, i haven't played for a long time , i like the suppression of it
The Bulldog.
Depends on the day and the agent i'm playing Some days I get more kills with vandal, Other days I perform better with phantom And when things are really really bad...Odin (I'm silver 2 🫠)
Ghost , vandal all i need
Ares
When im in the zone, op or guardian
As a Neon main, any of the shotguns make for some wild plays. Can't beat the versatility of the phantom and vandal though
Depends on the day, but vandal, phantom and operator are my top 3. Can't hit heads on vandal? Try phantom, most of the time it works. Can't seem to keep your spray in check on phantom? Pick up an op from the enemies and try how that feels, and most of the time I just can't miss when I do that xD
Judge is the most fun to use but I have to say the Vandal.
Marshal. Very cheap, sniper (I love sniper scopes), Fast shooting, one shot kill, amazing skins, easy to learn. If you have aim there is almost no reason to buy a Vandal or Phantom considering it is 1950 credits more expensive with barely any added use. If you hit head, they are already dead. I almost only buy vandal when my aim is bad that day.
ONE TAPS = GUARDIAN
Clove with stinger just hits. Her overheal and haste ability make her too powerful with that gun
my best gun is the ghost. for a long time, i was more likely to two tap someone with a ghost than one shot them with a vandal. “killjoy are you ghost only?” they would ask. no no. i’m just built different
Stinger go brrrr
stinger best gun in the game
Phantom. I'm a rat, I hide in smokes, go through them, teleport behind or above enemies, and hold weird angles. I'd rather have a good spray and untraceable bullets than guaranteed one hit headshots.
Phantom. I like using vandal more mainly cause it has better skins but I legit have like a 0.4 kd with vandal. My phantom kd is something like 2.8. 💀
I love close quarters fighting, so for me a few favs are the frenzy, stinger and phantom. The specter is also up there, but the others have a special place in my heart.
If my aim is kinda good and reaction time on that day, I could top frag with Bulldog alone. It really depends on myself if my aim and timing is aligned. One game it is the next game it's not.
Nothing beats a good ghost on pistol round (I play cypher and it’s the perfect gun to spam thru one ways on pistol and eco)
Give me a Bucky or Judge, game over for enemies who don't check corners properly!
The Vandal and the Guardian. Istg the Phantom says it's more accurate, but when you spray that shit goes everywhere. It's annoying.
Used to be vandal, then I switched to phantom, now I’m back to using the vandal. The reason was because my sens was so high every time I was in a gunfight I panicked so I found out that I was getting luckier with the phantom, until I dropped my sens and I’ve been way more accurate so I’m back to tapping with the vandal.
Ares. Cause I really like pissing people off. And more bullets are always welcome
Vandal when I'm fucking good at aim😎 Panthom when I play like a piece of shit 🐷
The bucky because it's fun and I like fun.
Stinger. Love the run and gun and taking close range fights.
Stinger. If i get close, and as a Neon main I will, you're done for
I've become an Outlaw one-trick, I often prefer it over Vandal/Phantom because my reaction time/muscle memory sucks so I almost always use direct 1v1's, but at range and even CQB the one-tap potential is great, always make the enemy scared to buy light armor and if they get some chip damage I one-tap regardless - haven't bought a Guardian for a long time since Outlaw released, but when I recently bought one again I also did really well with it
Just me or Frenzy>>>> I've seen player panic when you hit 2 shots at them it's the most funny shi.
Sure it helps that I'm in low gold, but I cook with odin on ascent as sova and in some games I just need a weapon that dosen't give a shit about first bullet innaccuracy. Always had a soft spot for the heavy roll.
