When Is the VALORANT Outlaw Sniper Coming?

Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 starts on Wednesday, January 10, 2024. Since the new Episode will kick off the new year, Riot Games is thought to have plenty of new content with the update.

Although the Outlaw sniper is the only real leak we have so far about the upcoming Episode, fans can also expect changes to the map rotation and the Agent pool. It also seems quite likely that we will see Pearl, Fracture or Icebox return in 2024 after the developers removed them from the competitive map pool.

Some of the core weapons in VALORANT:

Vandal

The Vandal is an automatic rifle that is quite effective at medium and long range. It has a high rate of fire, and its low recoil makes fast aiming possible. It stands out with its excellent fire rate and scope use.

Phantom

The Phantom is another automatic rifle that stands out with its fast rate of fire and low recoil. It is effective at close and medium range. Its magazine capacity also gives players the advantage of sustained fire.

Marshal

The Marshal is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that stands out for its affordable cost. It is effective at average range and can hit enemies effectively in a single shot. It is an ideal option for players looking for an economical choice.

Operator

The Operator is VALORANT's most powerful sniper rifle. It can kill enemies with a single shot and is effective from any distance on the map. However, it requires a careful choice because of its high cost and heavy handling.

Classic

The Classic is every agent's starting weapon and is effective at close range. It has two fire modes: single shot and three-round burst. As an economical option, the Classic gives players an advantage at the start.
