Best Pistol Round Loadout for Jett on Every Map in Valorant 2023

Start your matches strong with these perfect Pistol round loadouts for Jett on every Valorant map

Pistol rounds in Valorant are played at the beginning of each half and are considered arguably the most important rounds of a match. Not only do they grant an almost guaranteed two-round advantage, but they also infuse a vital momentum to the team throughout the half.

The two pistol rounds in Valorant stand out as unique as they demand different strategic approaches from other rounds. One of the tactics is to have a buy that maximizes your chances of winning the round. Given the individuality of each agent, careful consideration is needed when purchasing weapons and utilities to ensure they align with your agent’s role and contribute to your team’s overall success. 

What is Jett’s Role in Pistol Round?

Jett’s role in the Pistol round is the same as any other round. With the exception of Split and Fracture, where her role may differ, she assumes the part of sole or primary duelist in all other maps. So, the all-important job of creating space for the team falls on her shoulders. With the correct buy on Pistol round, Jett can fulfill her objectives, whether that involves securing site entry on the Attack or securing the initial kill on Defense. To help you with this, let us present to you the best Jett Pistol loadout on every single map of Valorant.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Ascent

Jett is an automatic choice on Ascent. Both on Defense and Attack, her pistol round loadout should be as follows:

Defense

• Weapon: Sherrif
• Utilities: None
• Shield: None

While defending on Ascent, your role as Jett is to try giving your team man advantage early into the round. The Sheriff comes in handy at this. As Ascent provides ample opportunities for long-distance engagements, opting to buy a Sheriff can be a wise decision to bolster your team's chances.

Attack

• Weapon: Frenzy
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst, 1 Updraft
• Shield: None

On the attacking side of Ascent, equip yourself with a Cloudburst and an Updraft and pair them with a Frenzy. Buying one Cloudurst is a must as it aids in gaining entry to the site by dashing into the smoked area. The updraft will help further to take site entry. You can updraft and dash into spots where the opponents will have the most trouble killing you. If you opt for the Frenzy, engaging in close-range combat is imperative to maximize its effectiveness.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Haven

Another map where Jett is played as the primary duelist. Here is the best Pistol Loadout for Jett on Haven:

Defense

• Weapon: Sheriff
• Utilities: None
• Shield: None

It is the same as the one for Ascent and for similar reasons. Use your Sheriff to either one or two-shot your opponents, who will likely have no shield in the first round.

Attack

• Weapon: Ghost
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst
• Shield: None

On Attack, go for a Ghost and a Cloudburst. You need the smoke to take entry, and using anything other than Ghost in a map as big as Haven is not advisable.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Split

On Split, although the pick rate of Jett is very high, she is rarely played as the solo duelist, as Raze is much more prominent in this map. Here’s what Jett’s loadout should be on Split as the secondary duelist:

Defense

• Weapon: Classic
• Utilities: Two Cloudburst
• Shield: None

Classics are typically favored on pistol rounds by agents who rely heavily on their utility loadout. Consequently, Jett players often prioritize other pistols since their role places a stronger emphasis on aiming. Nevertheless, when defending on Split, an exception can be made. The compact nature of the map and the effectiveness of the Classic's right-click burst fire make it a more than viable choice. Furthermore, the ability to deploy double smokes can provide significant advantages in post-plant scenarios.

Attack

• Weapon: Frenzy
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst, 1 Updraft
• Shield: None

Getting a frenzy on the first attack round is highly advantageous, particularly on a map like Split. This Japanese-themed map boasts numerous choke points, making an automatic SMG an invaluable asset as it facilitates smoother navigation through the map. Also, using Cloudburst and Updraft allows you to create space for your team more effectively.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Bind

Jett is not seen much in Bind as Chamber takes up her role in this map. Still, if you want to go with her, use the following loadout on Pistol Round:

Defense

• Weapon: Shorty 
• Utilities: 2 Cloudburst
• Shield: None

Shorty is a deadly weapon on pistol rounds, especially in the hands of a Jett. Bind has several spots where playing shorty is immensely helpful. Among these, holding U-halls stands out as a prime choice. With Jett, you can hold a tight angle inside U-halls and wait for the enemy team to push into Lamps. After the kill, you can dash away to safety.

Attack

• Weapon: Frenzy
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst, 1 Updraft
• Shield: None

Both sites of Bind are very Frenzy-friendly. The Cloudburst and the Updraft also prove highly advantageous when initiating site entries.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Lotus

Similar to Bind, you see more of Chamber than Jett on Lotus. However, there’s no doubt that Jett is a solid pick on this map.

Defense

• Weapon: Ghost
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst 
• Shield: None

Lotus features several areas with long-range fight opportunities that tend to favor the Attackers. Hence, it is best to avoid them, especially during the pistol round when your team's utility resources are limited. Therefore, opting for a medium-range weapon like the Ghost is a wise choice when playing as Jett on defense in Lotus.

Attack

• Weapon: Sheriff 
• Utilities: None
• Sheild: None

The higher likelihood of securing the first kill with the Sheriff makes it a more advantageous choice than going for any of Jett’s abilities. Both the A-long and C-Lobby are areas that are heavily contested, and a Sheriff in the hands of Jett can prove just the thing needed to take control of this crucial map control.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Breeze

The reworked Breeze differs greatly from the old version, where Jett was a must-pick. However, even after this many changes to the map, Jett is still the favorite Duelist of the community to play on this map alongside Yoru. 

Defense

• Weapon: Sheriff
• Utilities: None
• Shield: None

In an Aimer’s map such as Breeze, you must go for the Sheriff on defense, particularly with Jett. You won't need your utils if you can land your shots.

Attack

• Weapon: Sheriff 
• Utilities: None
• Shield: None

The same goes for Attack. Although a Cloudburst might help, the efficiency of Sheriff in long range is just too much to ignore.

Jett Pistol Loadout- Sunset

The newest Valorant map became an instant favorite to the Jett mains. The map’s design and layout almost perfectly play into the Jett player’s hands. If you want to win your pistol round in this new map, go for this loadout while playing as Jett:

Defense

• Weapon: Ghost
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst
• Shield: None

Sunset came into the map rotation with Patch 7.05. Not enough time has passed to confirm what fits the best for this map. However, a Ghost and 1 Cloudburst for Jett never go wrong, so we should stick with that for the time being.

Attack

• Weapon: Ghost
• Utilities: 1 Cloudburst
• Shield: None

Sunset leans slightly towards being a defender-sided map. So you cannot buy a Sheriff and just play for out-aiming your opponent. The map's design also doesn't particularly suit short-range pistols like the Classic or Frenzy. As a result, sticking to the standard choice of the Ghost+Cloudburst combo on the Attack side is the wisest course of action.
