How is the economy in Valorant different from CSGO?

Riot Games finally shared a little more about Valorant, the first-person shooter, on March 2. So how will the game’s economy be different from CSGO?

Riot Games’ entry into the FPS market has made fans extremely excited. After releasing the first trailer for Valorant back in October, many saw it as a cross between Overwatch and Counter-Strike.

Obviously, there are similarities between them, but Valorant possesses a feature very similar to the gameplay of CSGO – Economy.

Based on the latest trailer from Riot, we know that Valorant will use the round-by-round economy system that has existed in Counter-Strike gameplay for a long time. Therefore, everyone compare their differences and similarities.

First, players can buy one secondary gun, one main gun, one armor, and up to four skills per round. There are many weapons suitable for each playstyle: you can choose rifles for long-range shooting, or close in with SMGs.

It is worth noting that you can know the economic status of each teammate on the left side of the screen in the purchase menu.

In addition, teammates can also request support for guns or armor, if they are weak. As you can see in the image below. Agent Sage is requesting the Phantom from his teammates, with the option “Buy” for 2,900.

Valorant also possesses Agent skills, which need to be purchased on a round-by-round basis instead of being available. This adds another dimension to the economy system in the game, where players have to make more tactical decisions during the round.

According to the official website from Valorant: “Valorant is a game for strategists who dare to create impossible moves, because if it helps you win the game, it has succeeded.”

As for economic management, the system in Valorant will be similar to CSGO, for players to choose to ‘save’ if the team economy is weak and vice versa. However, Valorant also has the option to ‘vote’ to save/buy – a feature that will definitely help the team understand each other better.

Fans of first-person shooters are flocking to Summer 2020 for a chance to try out the latest FPS game. Gameworld will continue to update more information about the game Valorant in the near future.
