Valorant Sheriff Half-Buy Playbook: 30-Meter Headshot Discipline on Eco Rounds

The $800 Hand Cannon Capable of Dismantling Full Buys

In Valorant, the Sheriff ($800) is the great equalizer. While an enemy team may invest $4,500 per player on Vandals, Phantoms, and full heavy shields, a single crisp Sheriff headshot at under 30 meters inflicts 159 damage-delivering an instant one-tap elimination.

Positioning for Sub-30-Meter Engagements

Because the Sheriff deals 145 damage beyond 30 meters, never hold long sniper sightlines (like Breeze A-Main or Haven C-Long). Instead, hold tight corners at 10-20 meters (Ascent Wine, Split B-Garage, Bind Hookah) where the 159 damage one-shot is 100% guaranteed.
