Heavy Weapons (Machine Guns)

New to Valorant's heavy weapons? Learn how to effectively use machine guns to dominate your opponents. Get tips and strategies for these powerful firearms.

Alright, let's talk about the big guns in Valorant – the machine guns. These aren't your everyday sidearms; they're built for laying down serious suppression and controlling areas. Think of them as your go-to when you need to lock down a choke point or just make a whole lot of noise and a whole lot of damage.

While the source text doesn't go into specific details about machine guns or how to use them, it does mention a 'Weapons' section. Generally, machine guns in games like Valorant are characterized by their high rate of fire and large magazine sizes. They excel at sustained fire, making them great for holding angles or pushing through areas where enemies might be hiding. However, they often come with drawbacks like slower movement speed while equipped and significant recoil that can be hard to control if you're just spamming the fire button.

Pro-Tip: If you're using a machine gun, try to find a good spot to set up. You'll want to minimize your exposure while maximizing your ability to shoot. Tapping or bursting fire can help manage the recoil and conserve ammo, especially at longer ranges. Don't be afraid to reposition after you've laid down some fire; these guns can be a bit clunky to move with.
