It pays to know the tools of your trade, even if it’s just to know exactly how much damage that shot to your forehead did. Valorant is a seriously competitive shooter, and those who understand the mechanics best will have a strong advantage in the early days of the game.

To help you take the early advantage, we’ve put together a quick list of all the Valorant weapons and armor statistics, so that you know the categories, damage and penetration for all the weapons you can buy.
