Valorant New Weapon Leaked - Outlaw Sniper

Riot Games Adding a New Weapon to Valorant

Twitter leaks show a new weapon that has been added to the game named Outlaw as it possibly could be Valorant's take on the Scout weapon in Counter-Strike 2 or perhaps the new gun being semi-automatic. Only costing 2,400 credits, this gun could add a new way of playing the game if you would like to hold an important position or relay information to your team and possibly get a good hit on your opponent. 

Although the initial reaction of the community shows frustrations for adding yet another sniper rifle to the game, this might allow more flexibility for buy rounds without having to invest 4,700 Credits for the Operator as the Outlaw comes as a mid-class weapon when compared to the Marshal. 

With Riot Games releasing Episode 7 Act 3 on October 31, 2023, this gun could potentially be implemented then along with the new agent, Iso.

How Players Reacted to the Leak

of all the possible gun choices, why another sniper rifle? What is it gonna add that Marshal and operator currently don’t have?

Whatever the reaction of the players might be, if Riot adds this new sniper to the game, then we might see a complete shift in how the game is played and possibly witness new strategies, making the game more fresh and exciting.
