What’s Coming in Valorant Episode 8 Act 1?
Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 is set to introduce exciting new additions to the game, including a powerful new weapon and fresh cosmetics. A notable highlight is the introduction of the Outlaw Sniper, positioned as the game’s third sniper. This new sniper rifle stands out as potentially the most powerful in its class, capable of taking down half-shield agents with just a single shot. Priced at 2,400 credits, the Outlaw Sniper is anticipated to significantly impact gameplay strategies, particularly affecting the current half-shield meta.
In terms of cosmetics, players can look forward to the new Kuronami Vandal skin. This skin will be available for the Vandal rifle, known for its reliability and effectiveness in achieving precise shots. While the exact cost of the Kuronami Vandal skin is not yet disclosed, it’s expected to be a popular choice for players who favor the Vandal during the Buy Phase. This addition is part of the broader range of new weapon skins that will be released with Episode 8 Act 1.
