[Valorant] Don’t know when to buy weapons? Criteria for determining “eco” and “buy” and explanation of the money system

Valorant differs from other FPS in that it requires management of “money (credits)”.
Even if your aim is strong, if you lack money and only have weak weapons, you will lose.
We will explain the golden rules of “buy” and “eco” in order to keep pace with your allies in the wild ranks.

Basic rules: Can you leave “3900” for the next round?

A minimum of 3900 credits is required to purchase the strongest weapons, “Vandal/Phantom (2900)” and “Heavy Shield (1000).”
Check the “minimum money for the next round” on the shop screen, and if it is less than 3900, save (eco) without buying anything for that round.

Second round standard

If you win the 1st round:
Everyone buys armor and Specter (or Marshall/Bulldog).
Since my opponent only has a handgun, I will overwhelm him with the weapon difference and secure my second victory.

If you lose in the 1st round:
You can either buy nothing (full eco) or survive with one Sheriff.
If you buy half-heartedly and lose, you will not be able to buy weapons in the 3rd round, and you will continue to lose.

What is Hero Buy (Force Buy)?

Even though I don’t have any money, this is my plan to use all my assets to buy weapons.
This is done in “to catch the opponent’s surprise” or “in the final situation where you can no longer lose.”
When playing in the wild, be careful if you don’t tell them “Force buy” through VC or chat, or you’ll be wiped out due to equipment differences with your allies.

Summary

Press the Tab key to see the money your allies have.
“If everyone is buying it, I’ll buy it.” “If everyone isn’t buying it, I won’t buy it.”
With this alone, you can avoid being recognized as a troll.
