VALORANT / PRACTICAL LESSON

How to manage your credits

Core fundamentals

Buying together gives a team a stronger round than five unrelated purchases.

STEP BY STEP

Try this in your next match

01

Check teammate credits at the start of each buying phase.

02

Agree whether the team will save, buy partially or buy strong equipment together.

03

Prioritize a weapon you can use reliably over a theoretical best gun that drains your credits.

04

Think about the following round as well as the current one.

Common mistake

A lonely expensive purchase while four teammates save often makes two rounds harder.
