Alright, guys, let’s talk about this new Outlaw sniper rifle in Valorant. I’ve been digging around, trying to figure out when this thing is actually dropping, and it’s been a bit of a ride. Here’s what I found out so far in my journey to get this weapon.
My Hunt for the Release Date
First, I started hitting up all the usual spots – you know, the official Valorant website, some gaming news sites, and of course, Reddit. Initially, it was a lot of speculation, some folks saying early January, others guessing mid-January. It was all over the place!

I really started to focused my efforts. I decided to stick to the more reliable sources, like official announcements and well-known Valorant data miners’ Twitter accounts. I figured they’d be the first to know, right?
I started scouring through patch notes, looking for any hints. I even joined a few Discord servers dedicated to Valorant leaks and news. I have to get it and use it in-game.
The Breakthrough
Then, I start to found it! One of the data miners I follow posted something about Episode 8 Act 1. Apparently, that’s when the Outlaw is supposed to be released. And guess what? They had a date: January 8th!
- Check the Sources: I double-checked this info against a couple of other sources, just to be sure. Everything seemed to line up.
- Confirming the Date: It looked like January 8th was the real deal. I made a reminder on my phone – I didn’t want to miss this.
Getting Ready
So, with the release date seemingly confirmed, I’m now just waiting. I’ve been practicing my sniping skills in the range, trying to get ready for this new weapon. I’ve heard it’s a beast, and I want to be prepared!
Finally, I got my hands on the Outlaw! It was a bit of a learning curve at first, figuring out the best way to use it. I have spent a few hours in the practice range, getting a feel for the recoil and the bullet drop.
Once I start to got the hang of it, I took it into some unrated matches. Oh boy, this thing is a monster! I was able to one-shot enemies from across the map. I even managed to clutch a few rounds with it.
I’m still experimenting with different playstyles, but so far, I’m loving the Outlaw.
That’s my journey so far with the Outlaw. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m excited to see how this weapon shakes up the game. Stay tuned for more updates, and I’ll let you know how my Outlaw adventures go!
