Phantom:

The Phantom is a silenced rifle in VALORANT known for its controllable recoil, fast firing rate, and strong performance at close to medium range. It is one of the game’s primary rifles, commonly bought on eco-upgraded rounds or full-buy rounds when players want a reliable weapon for spraying and holding angles.

Compared with the Vandal, the Phantom is generally easier to spray with and is less audible at range, which can make it useful for stealthier fights and site defense. It is often chosen by players who prefer consistency over long-range one-tap potential.
