In Valorant and Counter-Strike, the sidearm is a pivotal component to winning the game. Pistol rounds are the norm at the start and at half time, and securing those can give you a nice advantage. Games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, Rainbow 6 Siege and Apex rely less on the pistol, though they do come in handy from time to time. The pistol in Halo Infinite is proving to be a formidable backup, though. So today on Esports Armory, we're looking at the sidearm, specifically CSGO's Glock and USP-S, and Valorants Classic and Ghost. We'll talk to Tenz, csgo Emuhleet, Bardolph and more about just how important the pistol, and the pistol round, can be. -- LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE -- null 00:00 -- Intro 00:56: -- Why is the sidearm important? 2:04 -- The Glock, USP-S, Classic and Ghost 2:51 -- Emuhleet breaks down her preference 3:49 -- Vanity picks CS:GO's Glock 4:14 -- Bardolph says dev1ce comes to mind as a pistol king 4:38 -- EsportsDoug explores the Classic and Ghost 5:28 -- Tenz likes Valorant's Classic 5:52 -- The design influences of the Ghost and Classic 6:51 -- Hugh Daly looks at the real world Glock and USP 9:58 -- Outro Graphics and Editing by Mike Concepcion (@MichaelVidol) Written, edited and narrated by Darin Kwilinski (@darink) Footage captured by Max Tompkins (@kegshouts) Produced by Darin Kwilinski and Jordan Epstein Special thanks to: Emuhleet (@Emuhleet) Tenz (@tenzofficial) Vanity (@vanityxz) EsportsDoug (@EsportsDoug) James Bardolph (@JamesBardolph) Sean Marino (@oniram177) Hugh Daly #csgo #valorant #esports
