Riot Games has revealed a major addition coming to Valorant as they are adding the first new weapon to the game since it was originally launched. The Outlaw is a brand new sniper rifle, double-barreled for an extra shot to the heart in case the first one doesn't get the job done. While it may not look like much on the surface, it sounds like this is designed to be a game changer for those who love to fight long-distance and keep enemies on their toes to check everywhere they can. The team hasn't revealed a ton of details as to what is being added to the latest update, as Episode 8 Act 1 is set to launch next week, January 9, so we're expecting to hear more about that this coming Monday. Until then, here's what we know about the weapon.
The Outlaw
The first new weapon added to the arsenal since launch, the Outlaw is a high-impact, double-barreled sniper rifle built for do-or-die playmaking. To commemorate its release, players can start their Outlaw journey with the Throwback Pack: Outlaw bundle that celebrates a throwback to 2020 with some of our very first skinlines, Prism//Reloaded and Ego, as well as three accessories. Episode 8 Act I also introduces the Kuronami Skinline and an all-new Battle Pass. A line of weaponry designed for stealth and agility, players will embody the essence of being a ninja in Valorant. The Battle Pass will feature items such as the Fiber Optic Ghost, Tactiplay Phantom, and Sunny Side Gun Buddy.
