Vortex Gaming

Playing Valorant for 5 years, questioning which gun is better between Vandal and Phantom. Personally prefers Vandal, emphasizing the thrill of Vandal one-taps. Mentioning using Phantom depending on the situation. Will explain the differences between Vandal and Phantom as told by a pro.

Mentioning that few people read the specs written in the in-game gun information window. Comparing the specs of Vandal and Phantom, such as magazine size, rate of fire, and first shot spread. Explaining the meaning of first shot spread: the amount the bullet bounces when fired once. Conducting a first shot spread test of Vandal and Phantom at a distance of 20m in the shooting range. Recommending turning on the zoom for long-range engagements as the bullet spread becomes more severe with distance. Explaining that the Guardian has very low bullet spread, making it advantageous in long-range engagements.

Emphasizing that the biggest advantage of Vandal is that it can kill enemies with one headshot. Damage is fixed at 160 at a distance of 0~50m. Phantom's damage decreases with distance, making it impossible to kill with one shot based on full armor. Explaining that Vandal has more recoil and is more difficult to control spray than Phantom.

The reason why there are many Phantom users in tournaments is because they use a lot of spray in team games. Phantom is easy to control spray. Phantom's bullet trajectory is not visible when shooting through smoke, reducing the risk of being detected by the enemy. Smoke shots are one of the important ways to stop enemies from entering the site.

Basically uses Vandal a lot, but chooses Phantom when the team is in sync and coming in at once. Use Phantom when you need to take smoke shots.

Since Vandal can kill enemies with one headshot, it is important to practice shooting one bullet at a time like tap tap. For beginners, it is recommended to practice moving while shooting from the first to the third bullet. Since Vandal's recoil recovery speed is slower than Phantom's, it is important to learn the recoil recovery timing.

Phantom is an easy gun to shoot while moving. Because recoil recovery and rate of fire are faster than Vandal. The moving shot judgment is more generous than Vandal. The reason why Phantom is recommended for beginners: moving shots are important, and Phantom's moving shot judgment is good.

Phantom has a fast rate of fire, low recoil, and is easy to control spray. Recoil recovery speed is also fast. Vandal's romantic one-tap is attractive, but personally concludes that Phantom is better.
