You can drop your gun and pick up one from another player you kill. In CSGO, you have to buy a new gun whenever your current rifle runs out of bullets, or you get killed and respawn with a new one. CS: GO has more game mechanics, modes, and features than Valorant.
Gameplay – What’s the Difference
Valorant has basic gameplay like CSGO, but there are two teams, the Terrorists and the Counter-Terrorists. Both teams have different goals. The enemies have to plant the bomb at one of two sites, and the Counter-Terrorists have to eliminate all Terrorists or defuse the bomb if it’s already been planted.
Valorant has only one map where you can play either side, while CSGO has about 12 maps with different modes such as Deathmatch, Arms Race (similar to Gun Game), Demolition, Casual or Competitive.
Graphics
Valorant has a new and improved graphics engine that allows running the game with minimal hardware requirements. You can change most graphic settings or leave them on high for better graphics performance.
In CSGO, you can set most of the graphics settings while playing. You can’t change them before starting the game, and you have to quit and go back in again for that. Plus, CSGO has a minimum hardware requirement, so you might not be able to play on low settings without significantly lowering the FPS.
Mechanics
Valorant has a simplified and very basic system for weapons mechanics. You don’t need to be concerned about reloading or anything like that.
Valorant has an aimbot feature different from CSGO’s because it will be more precise and not automatic like the Auto-aim in CSGO. It uses a system that allows you to aim precisely at your opponent’s head or chest, depending upon the shot fired.
In CSGO, you have to buy a skinned knife, and the Auto-aim will automatically aim for your opponent’s head.
Customization Options
Valorant has different customization options you can use to personalize your character or weapon. You can choose the gun, the color of its parts, and even the pattern of its grip.
Valorant also has a better custom texture workshop that allows you to import different textures and designs.
While in CSGO, you can change the skin of your weapon, but that’s it. You can’t change any of its parts or choose a different grip.
What Should You Play in 2022? Valorant vs CS:GO
If you think that CSGO and Valorant are the same things with different graphics, you should play CSGO because of its game mechanics, modes, and features. If you’re looking for a better customization system in the graphics department, then Valorant is the best choice for you.
Conclusion
Valorant and CSGO offer different mechanics and features, so you should choose between them based on what you’re observing in a video game. Try them both to choose your favorite one.
