A classic of the VALORANT universe is a testament to the effectiveness of simplicity in design. Like the standard sidearm, the checkered frame showcases a traditional design aesthetic enhanced with modern refinements. It embodies versatility and adapts to multiple scenarios with basic semi-auto shooting. In addition, the secondary burst mode provides concentrated firepower to unarmored opponents at close range. Because it is lightweight, it provides maximum mobility, allowing officers to maneuver quickly during intense combat. While it may lack the specialized features of more expensive weapons, the Classic's familiar features solidify its indispensable place in an agent's arsenal. Strategic use illustrates the adage that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Overview

The Classic is the default sidearm for all agents who take to the battlefield in the VALORANT universe. Its compact design is an essential companion and can be quickly grabbed and holstered, making it an ideal choice for intense firefights and close combat.
The semi-automatic fire mode does enough damage at medium range that it is reliable in the heat of battle. The Classic features the ability to provide two alternate fire modes: a non-lethal suppressor shot and a three-shot burst capable of dealing significant damage at close range.
While the free weapon is given at the start of each round or upon resurrection, the Classic holds its value and often comes in handy when you least expect it. It's an insurance policy for high-stakes games on a tight budget, or when you're short on cash but need work done. In the right hands, the Classic is more than just a backup, it's a strategic weapon that can be the difference between winning and losing in the intense VALORANT universe.
Remember, it's not about the gun you carry, it's about how you use it in the field. The classic reminds us all: in the world of VALORANT, even the smallest weapon can strike and turn the tide of battle in capable hands.

Creation and Development

A classic in the VALORANT universe, the concept originated in the visceral, tactical world of first-person shooter gaming. With the larger vision of creating an immersive environment, the developers at Riot Games wanted to give players a standard pistol that would not only serve as a versatile weapon, but also set a unique tone for the game's diverse weapon system. game.
It was during the concept stage that the team decided that the Classic should be a semi-automatic pistol. Inspiration came from several real-life counterparts who sought size, design and balance to resonate with the feel of a lightweight, practical firearm. And so the Classic was born, a weapon designed to be as adaptable and customizable as the agents at their disposal. There were some challenges when implementing the classics into the game. The developers had to carefully monitor its performance to make sure it was adequate for use as a backup weapon and not too powerful compared to other weapons you can buy. Extensive playtesting and data analysis was performed to find the perfect balance.
Equally important was the design aspect. The classics had to work well with a variety of agents, each with a different style, background, and skill set. VALORANT's industrial toy aesthetic was thought to blend into a design that stands out, yet blends seamlessly with the game's graphical tone.
Through numerous updates, the Classic has been modified, improving its performance and aesthetics. Its continuous evolution embodies not only the dynamic nature of game development, but also Riot's commitment to providing exciting experiences for players around the world. Despite everything, the Classic has retained its essence: a reliable sidearm, ready to help agents in any situation they face in the VALORANT universe.
