VALORANT 

 Introduction:

    In This blog it will conclude about the UI of Valorant, all the weapons and characters in Valorant as well as what we can do to improve in this game. This is the introduction of what Valorant is about and what included inside the game itself. Valorant has been a great improvement since it first beta release so lets do it

 

 User Interface:

Like every other games Valorant have its Own loading screen with its own login screen and update Bar. The Interface itself sync with other Riot games that logged in to it like League Of Legends.

    This is the sample of the Loading Screen and User Interface of Valorant which include the title, Update/loading screen and our account in the top left corner which is blacked by purpose of privacy. The Loading screen also included in Riot's other games called League Of Legends but with different style and pictures. When we first start the game it will brought us to the tutorial immediately. It will teach us some of the basic of the game. The game itself looks and plays like CSGO with characters and their own abilities.

 

   

Pistols

 Weapons:

     This third part will be talking about the weapons and their recoil pattern. The weapons in Valorant are divided into 6 types (my opinion). Each weapons have their own base damage, recoil and cost. The parts are divided.

    Pistols:

Classic
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Classic

    The classic pistol is basic pistol in Valorant. The gun is immediately obtained as you spawned in the battlefield. The gun cost 0 credits and the gun has 12 Magazine. The classic has 2 alternate one fires a single bullet and the other shoots spread like a shotgun which is effective in close range and medium range, better with headshots.

Ghost
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Ghost

    The Ghost pistol is used often in the higher ranks and maybe lower ranks. Ghost pistol's are used as an aggressive pistol used to get frags from agent's such as Reyna and other Duelist's. The Ghost pistol is very powerful for hitting headshots and can one shot to the head so best to go for headshots. The gun itself cost 500 credits.

Shorty
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Shorty

    The shorty is the second cheapest pistol in the game. The shorty is a small like double barrel shotgun which is effective in close range. The shorty has only 2 magazine with high spread if going in from longer ranges. The shorty is best used against enemies that are close range. The best thing to do if you use a shorty is get to closer range and surprises the enemies with a one tap close range to the head. The shorty cost 200 credits which can be bought + a piece of armor

Frenzy
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Frenzy

    The fourth pistol in the pistol type is the Frenzy. The frenzy is a full-automatic pistol and can be held clicked to shoot more bullets. The Frenzy has 13 magazine and cost at 400 credits. The Frenzy is rarely used (based on the games I played) in games. The Frenzy is best used in close range and medium range, the gun itself is best used by burst-firing which will be discussed later.

Sheriff
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Sheriff

    The last pistol is a Sheriff. The Sheriff is a powerful pistol such as the Ghost but rarely used in pistol rounds for saving credits because of the price of the gun. The gun can 1 shot to the head if hit to the head which is effective in early rounds before enemies buy heavy armor. The Sheriff has a high wall penetration and effective in 0-30 meters until 30-50 meters in range. The Sheriff cost 800 Credits, The sheriff is best bought in mid round or if you have plenty creds or if you want to save credits.

    

SMG

         SMG's:

    The next gun type on Valorant are SMG's. SMG's are weapons that can be used every round based on your teams economy. It is best used in eco rounds or when your team economy is low. There are only 2 types of SMG's In the game which will be discussed below:

Stinger
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Stinger

        The first SMG in Valorant is the stinger. The stinger cost 1000 credits and has very high spread but the fire rate is absolutely annihilates most of the guns fire rate. The stinger has low wall penetration meaning that it the bullet can't past through any wall resulting it no wall bangs. The stinger is best bought after pistol rounds or eco rounds. Remember that the Stinger has alter fire/an iron sight which turns the fire rate into burst fire and more accurate.

Spectre
Source: https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Spectre

    The last SMG in the game is the Spectre. The spectre is moslty used in mid round or early round. The price is 1600 credits and have high fire rate but not very high. The Spectre has a medium wall penetration which can hit enemy through boxes. The spectre can easily learned the spray pattern and can defeat other guns in dual if shot correctly. Other than that everything is the same but the iron sight shots are a bit slower that the regular fire rate

Shotgun

    Shotgun:

    The next weapon type in the game are shotgun's. Like every other fps games shotgun are killing machine in close range if used correctly. In Valorant Shotgun are also powerful in closer range nad can even be powerful in medium ranges. Here are the shotguns in valorant:

Bucky:

    The first shotgun in this category is the Bucky. The Bucky is like a nova in CSGO. It looks familiar to any other shotgun in fps such as CSGO. It cost 900 credits and has low wall penetration which means it cannot hit players through high steel walls/boxes. The Bucky high spread because its a shotgun but the most interesting part is the  Bucky has an alternate fire which is effective in medium ranges. Basically when right clicked the Bucky Shot a  smaller shotgun spread to the enemies. The Bucky is good to be bought in early rounds or eco rounds.

Judge

    The last shotgun in the category is the judge. The Judge is a Valorant shotgun of the AA12. When held down the shotgun automatically keeps firing like other SMG or Rifles.

The phantom best buy anytime since its OP but its recommended in mid or late rounds

Vandal

Property Rights!     

     This is a reminder message about Property Rights or called simply by people "COPYRIGHT". According to article 40 (1) letter Law No.28 year 2014 on copyright, Video games is also protected by COPYRIGHT. If the violation of COPYRIGHT we can be charged by government and that is why we need to pay close attention to COPYRIGHT. In video games there are as well copyrighted games that are called as "PIRATED" or cracked games. This are still under investigation on why cracked or pirated games are still around until now. Violation can cause offence towards us:

1. COPYRIGHT in the internet

Copyright in the internet can be one of the violation of the Property Rights. The internet is where people socialize or for entertaining purposes or marketplace. Violation to games can be seen through cracked or pirated games. Based on my investigation, games that are cracked or pirated can cause violation to the original game. Because of the copyright violation some games are taken down and had stop marketplace selling.

2. Hacking

Hacking has been a problem since along time when internet or no internet has been invented. Hacking to games marketplace or main headquarters can violate the copyright license. There was a time when some games are hacked by hackers and stole the games income causing the company becoming broke.
