This accurate powerhouse is ferocious in small bursts.

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

Summary[]

Extended fire results in less stability, however. The Vandal retains high damage over distance and rewards those who focus single shots at a target’s head.

The Vandal is a high-cost automatic rifle. One of VALORANT's best general-purpose weapons, it is most effective at picking off individual targets at longer ranges due to having no falloff, allowing it to kill any enemy with a single headshot at all ranges.

Compared to VALORANT's other general-purpose rifle, the Phantom, the Vandal is guaranteed to instantly kill an enemy with one bullet to the head whereas the Phantom's damage falloff results in it requiring multiple bullets at medium to long range to get headshot kills. However, the Phantom's higher fire rate and accuracy make it better at taking on multiple enemies at short to medium ranges over the Vandal.

Trivia[]

  • During the Beta, the weapon's full name was the AR-762 Vandal (Assault Rifle).
  • The "762" designation suggests it is chambered in .30 caliber ammunition, such as 7.62x39mm or the larger 7.62x51mm NATO , but most likely a derivative of 7.62x39. Note the significant curvature of the Vandal's magazine, which matches the proven design in the wide majority of 7.62x39 magazines .
  • The Vandal's design take references from several rifles based on the Kalashnikov platform. The general design is influenced by the Kalashnikov USA AK Alpha, considering the shape of the slanted edges of the magazine well and magazine release, the trigger guard, the charging handle, the handguard, the gas block and the flash hider. The pistol grip, dust cover and stock adapter were inspired by the IWI Galil ACE chambered in 7.62x39, the Stock inspired by the Magpul UBR stock, and the rear sight and front sight merged with the gas block are based on the AKS-74U. The muzzle brake is also highly reminiscent of that seen on a standard AK-74.
