Valorant Most Popular Weapons by rank in August 2024: best guns in episode 9
This list shows all Valorant's weapons based on their popularity at each rank in August 2024. Discover the most used weapons and their win rate at Radiant during episode 9.
No pro data. The data in this article is based entirely on ranked games. There is no information on casual game modes or the pro meta.
All regions included. The data includes millions of matches played in all regions during the episode. I will update this page monthly to track whether the most popular weapons remain the same or change over time.
No personal opinions. I hope that my statistical-based approach is a good attempt to provide a reliable list for all the casual and ranked players.
Please note:
The Vandal is by far the most popular weapon at all ranks.
When reading the data, don't forget that all players spawn with the Classic pistol, which results in a high usage rate.
