I think the strongest agent in pistol round is Killjoy and Reyna. Reyna is because it's heal can get 150. Killjoy is because its turret is annoying and normally deals a lot of damage in pistol round.
To summarize: Frenzy or Ghost and the rest of your moolah goes to 1 or 2 util. Don’t buy Reyna flash. KJ, Viper and Breach sometimes go classic (buy more util). The End.
8:39 as a yoru main i would like to include that yoru's footsteps are very viable especially in pistol rounds. For example , we all know how hard it is to kill a boom bot charging at you in pistol rounds but yoru's footsteps confuses the bot and the bot explodes on the ability giving zero damage to me and my teammates. Same with kj. We all know how irritating kj's turret is especially in pistol rounds. So to check if there's a kj alarm bot or turret i use fake foots to find out there location and also trigger alarm bot.
The strats this video is giving are just too simple.... I've seen competitive players holding a main ascent camping with shorty , taking down specters .... Pistol rounds should be given importance like every other round where u can play anyway u want
@@unlucky9515 I get what you are saying pistol rounds should depend not only on the agent but also the map and the side you are on But I think the dude is just giving pointers for newbies to understand so they wont waste money
In my opinion you should always buy a heal on pistol rounds as a Skye, because pistols don't do that amount of damage and it is possible then to heal your teammates.
QOTD: I think in pistol round chamber is the strongest bc he could have some armor , and free sherrif at the same time which is impossible for other agents
Yoru’s Footsteps get rid of Raze’s boombot, Killjoy’s turret and alarmbot, so buying his footsteps wastes so much other utility, so it is definitely underrated
@@koyonari1843 I don’t have a “main”, but if I did, it would be yoru and killjoy and ya I agree his footsteps are good for clutch situations and big brain plays (sometimes I play cypher bc of the map and I feel the trip wire)
QOTD :- I guess sage was the best before since a wall is annoying to break with pistol plus a ghost was so good no I think she is still good is tight maps but classic is a hurt full gun I switch between both depending on the opponent
Kayo main here, on defense I usually run a classic and just buy all my abilities, as the grenade is very useful for denying an entrance or area for a little while so my team can come help me once it's clear I'm at the correct site. On offense I usually buy a ghost and 2 flashes.
i personally did the craziest things with Sage because I was on defense on A on Icebox and i bought a wall and light armor, the enemy was rushing so I put down the wall to delay till I got to heaven and from there i popped 3 heads with no difficulty and sneaky angles. I also did a lot of damage with killjoy and Cypher so i really think that on a defense side, sentinels are best in pistols. In attack, however, I found that Reyna and Brim are goated, but I did crazy stuff with a battle Sage so... it depends first on the player, then, on the enemy play style, then on the agent, so... it really doesn't matter that much because only flashes, recon bolts and heals are used on pistols so the variety with Kay/o now really makes it really easier to get a win in a pistol. the secret is to pray to not get teammates that instalock 3-4 duelists before your agent select screen even loads...
"Ghost" tripwire and cage 7:40 I'm not meaning to be mean, I was just thinking in my head that I ofc knew my main's ideal loadout and was shocked to see the frenzy. Very relieved when I heard them say ghost
For raze i buy boombot because buying 2 satchels cost the same as 1 boombot, and who needs satchels for a pistol round, plus boombot is super powerful on eco rounds and pistol rounds as it can kill an enemy itself
@@akashtripathy3777 on bind just place a pre-emptive footstep on some rounds on portals, so when u activate its a fake teleport, make sure that the steps go into a corner though so it doesnt exit the tp
@@Valorant_Simplified thanks for the advice, but since Red successfully showed so many plays and became popular I have learnt the stuff..trouble is the stigma remains on my server..Mumbai..neither is Riot cleaning up the toxicity nor the smurfing and the special toxicity reserved for someone picking yoru even in Spike Rush..it's like going to school again and facing racist abuse
I go classic + armor + trip 2 cages with cypher. It leaves me some opportunity for entry or retake. Rotating with this agent is pain in the ****. Don't underestimate the power of cages. I take ghost when I'm sure I'll play long range.
i usuly opt for armor on pistol and just go with a cllasic since i can just pick up a ghost off a dead enemy or my teamates dead bodys and be more powerfull that anybody but for reyna thats difrent i go for flash and ghost but i will try this out since it seems to be better but yeah thats my opinion
Bro i have a gtx1660 ti and i get 160-170 bought a, skin in valo today and i played with it for 2 games no lag ,no fps drops , nothing , but when i played in the 3 rd game and i am loosing 95-100 fps for a few seconds during gun fights , can you explain this?
I am a omen main and from the one who played omen his hole career (year and a half) it's better to buy u r utility and classic that's my general benifit
i love playing kj with full util, its way too annoying on pistol rounds because the enemy likely dont have enough util to counter KJ's site-holding abilities
Unless they have KAY/O... I have been an Omen main for a very long time and am just switching to KAY/O. Not an easy switch but KAY/O may offer aggressive Omen mains a better option in my opinion.
I dont think you should by frenzy over classic with raze, her satchels are really strong pistol round cuz no one can spray you out of the sky as easily
Im a new palyer and I go nearly every time with the Frenzy because i can make so many fast kills. Im not good at aiming an i think you need no aim for the frenzy.

I think the strongest agent in pistol round is Killjoy and Reyna.
Reyna is because it's heal can get 150.
Killjoy is because its turret is annoying and normally deals a lot of damage in pistol round.
Sage wall is also really good because of how hard it is to break in pistol round
@@The_Toasted_Shrimp Really true maybe Second place is killjoy or sage?
These two are very strong but yur forgeting sages wall is vers hard to destroy on pistol rounds and razes boombot almost always kills when you use it

As a yoru main myself I agree my friend
I don't buy ghost because the classic is the most overpowered weapon when used correctly
exactly
The strats this video is giving are just too simple.... I've seen competitive players holding a main ascent camping with shorty , taking down specters .... Pistol rounds should be given importance like every other round where u can play anyway u want
Same here
@@unlucky9515 I get what you are saying pistol rounds should depend not only on the agent but also the map and the side you are on

YES IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO HEAR THIS HOLY ty, ty ty ty
Tenz himself said that classic is way stronger than ghost and i agree. Id rather classic with armor than a ghost
It looks like I am not only one things same
It's literally agent specific... Did you not watch the video. Why have a shield with Reyna when you can just overhead after a kill
Try frenzy u jst rng whn opponents try to aim easy peasy
@@smitbagul748 FAX, you get that first or second shot headshot, it’s GGs
In my opinion you should always buy a heal on pistol rounds as a Skye, because pistols don't do that amount of damage and it is possible then to heal your teammates.
So it was basically a ghost favoured vid!
also "exactly"
I try to buy in attacking pistol rounds: Viper: 2 snakebites,1 orb, and 200 cred save
Defence: 1 ghost and orb
QOTD: I think in pistol round chamber is the strongest bc he could have some armor , and free sherrif at the same time which is impossible for other agents
7:41 Sgt Frost: “Cypher’s standard buy is a GHOST” *shows frenzy on screen instead of ghost*
Me : Visible Confusion
as a skye main i would recommend buying armor and heal because theres a lot of disengagements and low hp teammates to heal on postol rounds
7:39 "Cypher's standard buy is Ghost."
Meanwhile shows Frenzy.
Killljoy attack - classic, 1 nano, alarmbot and shields
Killjoy defence - classic, all abilities
I feel like they ar trying to influence us to not to buy shield in first round
cause you shouldn't
Buying shield is pistol round is waste
Im a yoru main and before act 3 i bought one flash and one footsteps and ghost but now i just buy both footsteps and both flashes with classic
Same or, I usually buy one flash, one footstep and light armor.
Yoru’s Footsteps get rid of Raze’s boombot, Killjoy’s turret and alarmbot, so buying his footsteps wastes so much other utility, so it is definitely underrated
@@zy5071 it activates cypher's tripwire if it is placed near the floor, it is also really useful for big brain plays

I hope there’s an update to include the new agents! I’m new. I’m picking up Neon/Raze as duelists and Fade and Sova as initiators

7:38 yeah that's a ghost 😅
before this patch, i will buy 2 flash for phnx and a light shield
but now only one flash :(
can we get an updated vid with chamber in it maybe?
What do people think is best for chamber and now neon?
thank u loved it
Thank you, loved it*
"Each agent is unique and should buy different things on pistol round"
"BuY A GhOsT"
Killjoy for sure, she is perfect defender the site on defence and hardly punishes flanks and she is perfect in spike defence. :) (I am killjoy main)
Thanks!
thank god for this video, i was struggling with certain pistol buys after the price adjustments
No changes on chamber?

3:13 nice cut xD
Stick with the classic and use light shields. Works way better, and saves money for util.
Only ghost & frenzy seems only options in pistol rounds for meta
Riot should do something about it
I just played a competitive game and we lost pistol round because I was using a controller I was not used to... perfect timing
Random question, why do you have the game in spanish ?
Is chamber new or something?
Bro i have a gtx1660 ti and i get 160-170 bought a, skin in valo today and i played with it for 2 games no lag ,no fps drops , nothing , but when i played in the 3 rd game and i am loosing 95-100 fps for a few seconds during gun fights , can you explain this?
I am a omen main and from the one who played omen his hole career (year and a half) it's better to buy u r utility and classic that's my general benifit
Also I generally find that this guide sucks personal opinion please don't bully me
I really just buy a shield and pick up ghosts or sheriffs on the ground
for raze you should get 2 satchels and light shield
Love the new intro
Same
I'm suprised how many times you recommended buying ghost over classic
only bicause you cant *buy* a classic
@@ultrandz1089 ba dum tss...
The best pistol round buy is simple. Buy what you prefer and perform best with. Theres no crazy science to it
i love playing kj with full util, its way too annoying on pistol rounds because the enemy likely dont have enough util to counter KJ's site-holding abilities
Unless they have KAY/O...
I have been an Omen main for a very long time and am just switching to KAY/O.
Not an easy switch but KAY/O may offer aggressive Omen mains a better option in my opinion.
i already dicovered the best buys for my mains(since first cane out 3.0)
Whats the name of the music in omens part
I just like to full save so I can get better armor and better guns next round to overpower the other team
Well in my opinion astra is completely wrong, I go full orbs and a shorty, works 90% of the time of you know what you're doing (immortal lobbies btw)
Me as brimstone buying 1 stim and a frenzy rushing in defense.
My goal is beyond your understanding
In my opinion frenzy on omen is better but it depends on the map
that new intro though 😌
I dont think you should by frenzy over classic with raze, her satchels are really strong pistol round cuz no one can spray you out of the sky as easily
Ummm.. U can buy frenzy for Jett to get 1 updraft and smoke
Im a new palyer and I go nearly every time with the Frenzy because i can make so many fast kills. Im not good at aiming an i think you need no aim for the frenzy.
as reyna, just hope that your soloq teammates will flash for you
QOTD: on attack: reyna
on defense: kj
me who buys a sheriff to tap forgetting that a ghost can do that
Should you not buy armor??
Do a new one adapted to the new changes
Make another one of these please
before seeing this video I just bought frenzy with flash cuz very cool
7:40 the ghost… or a frenzy??,
Chamber maybe the strongest in pistol round.
Mhhhhh very creative. Definitely not a copy of gameleap's video idea the day after that came out
Reyna and jett is tought to play in pistol rounds
personally I would use a classic with jett
still gonna buy a sherrif for omen every round
So basically...All ghost.
I play reyna and always get ghost and another devour, but that's just me
I think kj turrent in long range piston cannot shoot and without armor maybe 50 hp
id say kill joy is best cause of her turret
wheres chamber?
any sage not buy wall in pistol round = instant noob for me
Shorty got missed out
Offense: Reyna
Defense: Killjoy
All of them sheriff
killjoy, THE FUCKING TURRET MAN
chamber?
what about neon
Idk why I'm watching this cuz I always buy sherrif since I have the reaver skin xD
best advice - don't buy anything . just camp and get a ghost or frenzy from dead enemies and win the round
yoru best in pistols
nice guide, but I will stick to what I prefer, 1 CLASSIC PISTOL & LIGHT ARMOR COMBO!!!! the rest go buy some skill hahaha
Laughs in shorty omen
this was 1 year ago
For me(sage):
attack:
wall & shields
defend:
wall & 2 slow orbs
Bro we need Neon
me encanta que el que hace los clips tenga el juego en español XD
imagine not using classic/light shield
