Odin

The Odin is a machine gun that is a primary weapon in VALORANT.

Summary
The Odin is a high-cost machine gun. When using Primary Fire, the Odin's fire rate will increase over the duration the weapon is fired to a maximum amount, but using Alternate Fire will allow the user to shoot at that maximum fire rate immediately.

As a machine gun, the Odin is most effective as either a defensive tool to hold a site or when used to get wallbang kills due to its high penetration, rate of fire, and magazine capacity. Their lower mobility and higher equip speeds however make them less suited for peeking or entering sites, something better served at such a price by rifles like the Phantom or Vandal.

As a more expensive machine gun compared to the Ares, the Odin is a direct upgrade, offering more damage and higher rates of fire. However, these upgrades come at a heavy cost, with the Odin being the second-most expensive weapon in the game, more than any rifle.
