“

Lightweight and versatile, the default weapon for all is an instant classic.

”

The Classic is a Sidearm in VALORANT.

Summary

“

Primary fire lands precise shots when still, and is equipped with an alternate burst-firing mode for close encounters.

”

The Classic is a pistol that all players receive upon spawning. It has two firing modes, a standard semi-automatic single-bullet primary fire and a semi-automatic shotgun alternate fire that fires three bullets instantly but only at around a third of its usual fire rate.

Despite what may be suggested about its strength by the Classic being the gun given away for free, it is actually a versatile sidearm. Whilst the other sidearms are usually suited for a particular range, the Classic can be used in medium range engagements thanks to its large falloff range but can also quickly dispatch an enemy at close range using its shotgun mode. If a player isn't expecting to take fights at one specific range, the Classic's versatility can entice them into keeping it over upgrading to another sidearm, allowing them to use their creds on shields or abilities instead.

• Headshot multiplier: x3
• Leg shot multiplier: x0.85

Trivia

• During the Beta, the weapon's full name was the BP-9 Classic (Basic Pistol).
• The Classic's design has similarities to the Beretta PX4 Storm, with the angled slide bevel and partially skeletonized hammer being unique characteristics shared by both pistols.
