Valorant Patch 1.08 Weapon Tier List
S Tier
- Phantom - 2,900 credits
- Vandal - 2,900 credits
- Ghost - 500 credits
- Frenzy - 400 credits
Phantom and Vandal are still topping the tier list in terms of pure utility. Ghost and Frenzy are also great early picks to get the ball rolling on a budget.
A Tier
- Operator - 4,500 credits
- Odin - 3,000 credits
- Sheriff - 800 credits
- Guardian - 2,500 credits
Operator, Odin, and Sheriff are all powerful options but their price tags puts them down in A Tier. Guardian however is not as powerful but it's decrease in price and increase in fire rate, as of the latest patch have made it an attractive budget pick.
B Tier
- Specter - 1,600 credits
- Bulldog - 2,100 credits
- Ares - 1,600 credits
These weapons are going to give you pretty good damage at a pretty good price. They're good safety picks for early rounds to build up credits.
C Tier
- Stinger - 1,000 credits
- Judge - 1,600 credits
- Marshal - 1,600 credits
The Judge had a good run, but after the Patch 1.07 shotgun nerf and price increase, it just doesn't have the same legs it used to.
