Valorant’s Outlaw Weapon Has a Little Known Advantage That Could Get It a Nerf Soon
Will Valorant's strongest weapon go through a nerf?
Valorant is one of Riot Games’ legendary FPS tactical shooter games. Though this game is tough and somewhat complicated, it has a stable fanbase that grinds the game regularly. Very rarely has Valorant created any controversy, but like every other game, this one often gets updates to include new weapons and equipment. One of these newly added weapons has a secret feature that may lead it to a nerf.
Weapons are one of the most important parts of any first-person shooter game, but often during updates, developers nerf potent weapons to balance the game. These nerfs sometimes destroy the balance of the gameplay, and that’s why Valorant players are also a bit scared about one of the strongest weapons to face a potential nerf.
One of Valorant’s Newest Fan Favorite Weapons Has a Hidden Feature
Outlaw is one of the newly introduced Valorant weapons released with Episode 8 Act 1 in January 2024. Since it was released, this double-barreled sniper rifle has created a separate player base for its incredible performance. The primary reason behind its popularity is that this weapon can fire back-to-back two shots without zooming out.
This weapon is deadly, but mostly against players who wear light armor. It’s been seven months since players have been using this weapon, and its performance is still the same. However, a few days back on Reddit, a community player shared a clip and captioned it, “Outlaw has no ADS recoil.”
ADS, or aim down sights, is one of the vital parts of a gunfight to maintain the accuracy of the shot, especially when using snipers. However, not having the ADS recoil makes things easier for players, especially while fighting enemies without armor. It takes only one bullet and the right aim to take down an armorless enemy.
Even against a fully shielded enemy, this weapon is pretty accurate to use. The video clip quite clearly shows how effective this weapon is without the ADS recoil. Therefore, it is pretty natural that players don’t want it to go through a nerf.
Valorant Players Seem to Be Excited After Discovering This Ability
Since a massive number of players regularly grind Valorant, it is tough for an ability to be totally undiscovered for seven months. That’s the case with the Outlaw ADS recoil. Though multiple players claimed to have found it previously, a lot of players hadn’t discovered it before the Reddit post appeared.
SUGGESTED: Some Valorant Players Have Decided It’s Too Much for Them Now It’s on Console
Therefore, some players are surprised to know that others didn’t know about this feature yet.
However, most players are happy after hearing that Outlaw has no ADS recoil.
Some of them expressed their excitement when they discovered this feature.
Well, this seems to be an intentional decision that Riot Games has made, even though players are scared that this potent weapon will be downgraded. Whether their thoughts will come true or not isn’t certain.
Valorant has been running on PC for a long time now, but since the game was released on PlayStation and Xbox, a twist has arrived.
Therefore, don’t miss how console players claimed that Valorant runs better on consoles than on PC.
