Besides changes in map rotation, probably the most important thing that the eighth episode will bring to the community is the new, long-awaited weapon named Outlaw. The game developers continue to build intrigue, and in their official social networks, they have shared a short video showcasing the new rifle.

Remember, the Outlaw is a new sniper rifle that is expected to be released in Valorant in the second act of the eighth episode. It will have interesting damage characteristics and unusual shooting mechanics. Read more about the rifle in our article. Yesterday, Riot Games released an official teaser, in which you can see which agent the developers associate the rifle with.

In the short video, the main role is played by Omen, and this is not surprising. The developers have long said that in the 8th episode, the focus will be specifically on this agent. Gradually, new details of his life related to the lore of the game will be revealed. The Outlaw video announcement is accompanied by the caption “I feel them behind me.. but I have never been good prey”. This hints that Omen is one of the best users of this weapon, ready to counter the enemies that come for him.
