Phantom

Hello, i dont watch too much Valorant comp, Champions Berlin is the first tournament that im watching.
Personally im a vandal player, never ever use phantom but i noticed that pro players(or most of them) use phantom. Is it that much better then the vandal?

Yes.

TenZ uses Vandal BatChest

Phantom statistically and realistically and physically is the better weapon. Only people who are feeling it and/or like the vandal one taps use vandal.

Phantom more consistent , but vandal is pretty decent tho on long range maps like icebox

It is better in every single way other than the Vandal being able to one-shot kill if you hit the head at any distance, think of that what you will.

If you prefer the Vandal stick with it, a lot of pro's use both/vandal only so it is absolutely viable

The phantom is a bit better by pretty much every metric, but the difference is really only relevant at a super high level (radiant/pro) so it's mot like you're throwing by using the vandal

Phantom doesn't have tracers shooting through smoke so it's better most of the time in the current meta

It depends. The phantom is better in most situations, but the vandal wins against the phantom at distances further than 15 meters. Personally, I switch between the 2 depending on the map and location that I plan to play during the round.
