The description of each weapon also has tips that can be useful during gameplay.
InValorant, sidearm pistols belong to a group of primary or secondary weapons.
Pistols perform best at short and medium distance.
The Classic pistol is the primary weapon of every character inValorant.
If you aim at the body, you will have to shoot at least 4 rounds.
TheClassicalso has an alternate firing mode (RMB).
