Valorant's two dominant rifles — the Vandal and Phantom — have different recoil philosophies, and the right anti-recoil script handles each differently. The Vandal has a slower, more linear spray that drifts upward with a predictable left shift. The Phantom sprays faster with a tighter initial pattern that blooms outward. Scripts that apply the same compensation to both will underperform on one of them. This guide covers the best per-weapon Valorant scripts in the VZ library.
Vandal vs. Phantom — recoil differences that matter
- Vandal: Moderate fire rate, high damage, pronounced upward vertical pull, minor left horizontal shift on shots 5–15. Rewards controlled bursts but can be tamed with a strong vertical compensation. Best at range.
- Phantom: Fast fire rate, lower per-shot damage, tighter initial spray that blooms quickly past shot 10. Requires faster recoil correction on the initial burst. Forgiving at close range; harder to tame at range. Best inside 15m.
Top VZ Valorant anti-recoil scripts
Find all of these in the Valorant library:
- Valorant v4 — the most-downloaded Valorant script in the library. Covers Vandal and Phantom anti-recoil with separate compensation values for each. Aim assist extension included.
- Valorant Cronus Zen Script Console v2 — designed for console play (PS5/Xbox) where Valorant runs on current-gen hardware. Adjusted for the console input response latency.
- Valorant Cronus Zen Script Console v2 Bleed — adds a "bleed" technique for Vandal shots beyond 8 — a gradual increase in vertical pull on the later spray shots that match the Vandal's late-spray pattern shift.
- ValorantScript v3 — auto aim and auto fire combination for players who want aim automation alongside recoil control.
- Valorant v4 - L1 R1 — remapped for L1/R1 ADS layout rather than L2/R2; useful for players who use alternate trigger mappings.
Vanguard risk discussion
Valorant uses Vanguard, a kernel-level anti-cheat. Vanguard monitors driver and process injection — it does not and cannot scan USB HID input streams. The Zen communicates as a standard HID controller, not a process or driver. The risk is Riot's server-side behavioural analysis: consistent perfect sprays on the Vandal at 20m+ range look statistically unusual. Keep compensation at 80–85% rather than 100% to maintain human variance. See the full Valorant scripts guide for more context.
Tuning for your sensitivity
The default anti-recoil value in Valorant scripts is calibrated for 0.4 sensitivity (a common pro-level sense). If you play on a different sensitivity, the compensation will feel off. Use Auto Tune V3 to generate a custom curve for your exact sens — it takes about 5 minutes and removes the manual calibration entirely.
