View Valorant weapons ranked by kills per round, measuring round-by-round killing efficiency. Unlike kills per match, kills per round accounts for how many rounds each weapon is actually used, providing a more accurate picture of weapon effectiveness when purchased. This metric helps identify which weapons deliver consistent value every round they're bought. Expensive weapons like the Operator and rifles naturally should show higher kills per round to justify their cost, while budget weapons compete on cost efficiency. Understanding kills per round helps you evaluate whether premium weapons are worth their credit investment compared to cheaper alternatives. This ranking is particularly valuable for improving your economy game—knowing exactly how much killing power you sacrifice (or gain) with each weapon choice helps optimize full-buy, force-buy, and eco round decisions in competitive Valorant matches. In the current meta , Vandal dominates with a 93.9% pick rate, followed by Phantom at 50.0%. For maximum fragging potential, Vandal averages 8.40 kills per match. The Vandal leads headshot percentage at 33.1%. Our analysis covers 20 Valorant weapons across 4 rifles, 2 SMGs, 3 snipers, 6 pistols, and 2 shotguns.
