Phantom

The Phantom is a Rifle that is a primary weapon in VALORANT.

Summary
The Phantom is a high-cost automatic rifle. One of VALORANT's best general-purpose weapons, it is most effective at short to medium range where it is able to spray down multiple enemies at once due to its high rate of fire. It also comes equipped with a silencer, allowing it to be used to spam through vision blockers without much risk to the player's ammo count or positioning.

The Phantom is able to instantly kill an enemy with a single headshot, but its damage falloff means this no longer becomes the case at medium to long ranges. Players hitting the initial headshot but failing to hit a second killing shot before they die themselves may find the Vandal preferable in such situations.

Stats
Note: Multiplier values for leg shot damage and falloff other than x0.833 or x0.85 (which commonly appear across several weapons) are estimates


 * Headshot multiplier: x4
 * Leg shot multiplier: x0.833 (5/6)
 * 15-30 m falloff multiplier: x0.9
 * 30+ m falloff multiplier: x0.795

Trivia

 * During the Beta, the weapon's full name was the SW-ACR Phantom (Support Weapon - Adaptive Combat Rifle).
 * The Phantom's design has similarities to the Heckler & Koch HK433 (handguard, charging handle, receiver) and FN SCAR-H (magazine). The stock has similarities to Magpul's MOE Rifle stock.
 * Like other silenced weapons, the Phantom is named after a type of supernatural entity.
