SUMMARY
- Valorant is an FPS competitive game developed by Riot Games as a counterpart to CS2 with a focus on character based abilities.
- Since launch, Valorant has not added any new weapons besides the character based abilities like Chamber's rifle.
Riot Games is the developer and publisher of the free-to-play first-person tactical hero shooter Valorant, which is available for Windows. A number of gameplay elements, including the buy menu, spray patterns, and movement inaccuracy, are borrowed by Valorant from the Counter-Strike series.
Set in the near future, Valorant is a first-person tactical hero shooter that is team-based. Players take on the roles of a variety of Agents, which are fictional characters drawn from various nations and cultures. In the primary gameplay option, players are paired with five players on either the attacking or defensive team.
With 1.73 million viewers tuned in across dozens of broadcasts on the first day of its beta launch, Valorant garnered the second-highest number of concurrent viewers of any game ever on Twitch. By May 2023, the official Valorant Discord server grew to be the second-largest gaming community and the fifth-largest community on the social media platform.
Valorant’s new sniper weapon
Adding fresh weapons is a sensible choice for Valorant when it comes to game modifications. New maps, agents, and other balancing adjustments have been added to the game throughout the years to keep it interesting. However, no new weapon has ever been added since its launch.
The only new guns the game has added came out in the form of agent abilities like Chamber’s life. These agents possess a special set of skills meant to expand their tactical options and improve their gunplay.
However, an inadvertent leak of the Valiant Hero skin bundle occurred back in October. This leak also included a new gun called the Outlaw. New news has come up that the Outlaw might enter the game quite early in 2024, which is good news after months without any updates on the gun.
In Riot’s competitive first-person shooter, it’s the largest development since its release. The new sniper weapon, the Outlaw, comes with two barrels and the ability to shoot opponents in the chest and will be made available for almost four years. It is priced at 2,400 credits, which puts it in the range of the one-shot-kill Operator (4,700) and the cost-effective Marshal (950).
“The Outlaw Sniper, a brand-new weapon will be releasing at the launch of Episode 8,” as reported by ValorLeaks. The Outlaw may arrive just in time to shake up the meta as Premier formally begins its journey to Contender and as the VCT 2024 Season commences, as Episode 8 is scheduled to premiere on January 10.
Outlaw will be similar to a “muscular Marshal,” according to Valorant data miner valohabercisi. The affordable sniper rifle also has the ability to eliminate partially armored agents with just one shot. The rifle fires twice per click, much like the Shorty. It has a target rating of 140 damage when fired at the body. It appears that the Outlaw will also make its debut with static skins.
