Accuracy

Phantom is more accurate than Vandal. Although both guns has game Running and Walking firing errors. The 1st shot accuracy of Phantom is 0.2 deg in the other hand 1st shot accuracy of Phantom is 0.25 deg.

Run and Gun

Although we don’t suggest you “run and gun” but if you want to you should use the Phantom over the Vandal. As the recovery speed in Phantom is lower than Vandal and with more bullets in the magazine and faster fire rate is always better from run and gun.

Tap Fire

Vandal is always better from Tap-tap and hit enemy heads. As Vandal has no damage drop-off, it can kill enemies instantaneously with 1 headshot. In the other hand any target further than 15m will survive 1 Phantom headshot.

Range

Vandal is better for long range fights as it can delete enemies with 1 shot even in longer range fights.

Phantom is better for close range fights as it has more bullets in the magazine and faster fire-rate.

So it makes Vandal better for defenders as they usually have to hold long angles and on the other hand Phantom is better for attackers as they have to enter the site and plant the spike.

Maps

One should prefer Vandal is maps like Bind, Breeze, Ascent as they have more longer sightlines.

Phantom is better Icebox, Haven, Split because these maps has more tight corners and not too many long sightlines.
