The Spectre is one of the popular SMGs in Valorant because of its versatility. They commonly use this gun during semi-buy, anti-eco, or in rush rounds. This firearm mostly excels in any close and mid-range battles during the game and enhances the most hated run-and-gun mechanics, and costs 1,650 in-game credits.
