The issue appears to be just visual / sound on clientside, firerate does not actually fluctuate.

I figure the only reason to cap your FPS would be to minimize such desync perhaps, assuming the calculations even apply and Valorant doesn't follow it's own rules.

^ Don't let the above comment discourage anyone from continuing their own tests. Riot has said a lot of things about Vanguard and networking that were not true until they fixed them later on.

Oh.The guns sound much slower at lower framerates and I did some rough testing (there seemed to be a noteable difference with guns like Vandal and Ares) and just connected the dots and figured this might have been overlooked. Should have tested more thoroughly before busting out the spreadsheet. My bad and thank you for the clear up.
