Overview

• Valorant's new sniper rifle, the Outlaw, is set to debut in Episode 8, with early access footage showcasing its high damage and ability interactions.
• The Outlaw is priced at 2,400 credits in-game and is intended as a bridge weapon for players to buy when the enemy team is using light shields, or as a budget option for buying rounds when players are strapped for cash.
• Damage testing shows the Outlaw can deal 239 damage for a headshot, 140 for a body shot, and 119 for a leg shot. It can also penetrate walls, dealing 125 damage.
• The Outlaw can take down various enemy abilities with one or two shots, and can kill multiple enemies with ease.
• Valorant players are hopeful that the introduction of the Outlaw will end the current light shield meta, forcing greater variety in guns used.
