I spend down to $100 - in other words, I actually spend $700, and leave $100 in the bank going into the round. So, for instance, in round 1, I enter the round with $800. I’m laying this out in terms of what amount you can spend down to in order to get certain buys in future rounds. You absolutely want HS where possible, but it’s not a necessary part of light buys like it often is in CS:GO in my view. Previous piece outlines why LS over HS on SMG buys in particular - in brief, you want HS if you can get it, but assuming they hit their shots, on paper 150 health will rarely save you if 125 health didn’t, Valorant doesn’t have the helmet considerations that CS:GO has which drive you to always get the equivalent of HS there, and the extra $600 makes a huge difference in early round builds. Low-tier buys are sub-$1500 guns, usually without shields ‘low-tier’ of course doesn’t imply ‘completely unusable’, but clearly all the guns in that range have significant limitations (and there’s very little wiggle room for incorporating buys of them as anything other than a full-blooded commitment in early rounds). * $3900: Rifle (Phantom/Vandal) & Heavy Shields * $2000: SMG (Spectre) & Light Shields * $0: Eco * $4900: Sniper (Operator) & Light Shields * $1500: Scout (Marshal) & Light Shields
(Kill bonus is $200 and plant bonus is $300 if you weren’t aware, but we never count on either of those going through)įrom there, framing things in terms of the following buys: Anyway, main thing here is this is all framed in terms of guaranteed income, because while this is aimed to be useful personally, a) it will also tell you what your teammates can do at a glance, b) my principal concern is always organised play and team-wide buys. Reiterating mostly what I said in the original piece here, though there’s a couple of extra bits. That piece was more of an exploration than anything else this is intended to be tighter, and help people understand the concepts I was talking about before on a more functional level. This piece is following up on a number of notes I wrote last week discussing economy in Valorant.

Update 08/05: A couple of people have asked me for basically a tl dr version of this would still advise reading the whole piece in order to understand some of the finer points, but I made a few Tweets to serve as a cliffsnotes version.
