Which submachine gun costs 1600 credits in Valorant?

The story behind the answer

The Spectre is the VALORANT submachine gun that costs 1,600 credits. It occupies the primary-weapon slot and is widely used when players want a strong close- to medium-range weapon without spending rifle-level money.

The Spectre has a 30-round magazine, a high rate of fire, and a silencer that reduces the sound profile of its shots. Its combination of controllable recoil, mobility, and respectable damage makes it especially popular on force-buy rounds and against lightly armored opponents.

Players sometimes remember that other weapons have also shared the 1,600-credit price point, but the question asks specifically for a submachine gun. The Ares is a machine gun, while the Stinger is a cheaper submachine gun and the Odin is a much more expensive machine gun. That weapon-class distinction makes Spectre the single answer among the choices.

The Spectre is not a replacement for a Vandal or Phantom at long range. Its damage drops over distance, so it is strongest when used aggressively around tight angles, corridors, and close site entrances.
