By Cailey Ives

Valorant Weapons tier list May 2020 features the best weapons to use in Valorant.
Riot Games' newest free-to-play FPS title features ten agents for players to choose from and runs mechanically similar to CS:GO and Overwatch. Still, in its beta stages, the tactical shooter has been out for just under a month and has quickly become one of the most popular games on the market. Valorant now offers a 22 tier ranked play, from Iron to Valorant, and gives players an incentive to grind the game and master the weapons available.
There are 18 weapons and two shield options players can utilize. Here is a tier list of the best weapons to use in Valorant according to each weapon type.
At 3:30AM CEST on Friday, May 8, EU server matchmaking queues & the server will go down for an emergent maintenance. They'll be back up at 9:00AM CEST. No maintenance for any other servers.
