Valorant: New Outlaw Sniper Weapon Release Date

Valorant has been out for more than 3 years at this point, and while there have been many additions to the game such as Agents, Maps, and a variety of balance changes and reworks, there hasn't been a new weapon added to the game at all. This is all about to change, as it is now confirmed that a brand new gun is going to be part of the arsenal very soon. In this article, we are going to go over the new Outlaw Sniper in Valorant, its release date, and what it means for the game going forward.

NOTE: Some of the information provided in this article is based on speculation and leaks which have not been confirmed by Riot Games.

Valorant Outlaw Sniper Release Date

There have been rumors around this weapon for a while now, with some leaks about the Outlaw Sniper back in October showing off its price and stats (which might be changed on launch). Today our trustworthy leaker ValorMike announced in a tweet that the new Outlaw Sniper weapon is going to make its debut in Episode 8 Act 1. Based on the length of the current Act, this means that the weapon is going to be released around January 9th.

The Outlaw Sniper is going to be the first new weapon added to the game since its release back in 2020. It's going to fill the sniper role as a mid-point between the Marshal and the Operator, adding some flexibility for players during the early game rounds as well as eco rounds.

That is everything you need to know about the release date of Valorant's new Outlaw Sniper weapon. We don't believe this is the type of gun to forever change the metagame, but it's definitely going to have an interesting effect on the game.
