The buffed Ares is now the most powerful gun in VALORANT to start Episode 4
Just a day into the start of VALORANT Episode Four: Disruption, it’s clear that the biggest shakeup to the game’s meta isn’t the introduction of new duelist Neon, but rather the re-emergence of the Ares.
Episode Four began with the introduction of Patch 4.0, which included significant nerfs to the widely used Spectre and an improved fire rate for the Ares. The nerfs to the Spectre include an earlier firing error during a spray and increased recoil multipliers while running/jumping, making long-range sprays and close-moving sprays more inaccurate.
