Valorant Outlaw Stats: When To Buy the New Sniper?

It’s been a few months since Riot Games introduced the Outlaw, Valorant’s only new firearm since its release. With a substantial sample size now available, we now have enough information to better assess how this sniper rifle fares when compared to other weapons in the game.

In the current Valorant meta, the Outlaw finds itself in a peculiar position—it lacks the effectiveness to warrant purchase during full-buy rounds yet proves too costly for anti-eco rounds. This dilemma has sparked numerous debates within the community.

Is the Outlaw truly a good purchase? When is the optimal time to get it? And does it outperform the Marshal? If you’re seeking answers to these questions, look no further—we’ve got you covered.

This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the Outlaw, covering its statistics, and win rates, while also determining the optimal timing for purchasing the weapon.

Valorant Outlaw Stats: Everything You Need To Know

Valorant Throwback Pack Outlaw

The Outlaw was introduced to Valorant alongside its Episode 8 Act 1 update on January 9, 2024. At the time of its release, the community considered the gun to be overpowered due to its high damage and fire rate. However, as time progressed, the Outlaw found itself having relatively low pick rates compared to most other guns in the game.

The Outlaw is a double-barrel sniper rifle that costs 2,400 credits to purchase and can deliver 140 Damage to opponents with a single body shot, which means it’s capable of finishing off unarmored or lightly armored enemies in one shot. If the enemy has full shields, then you’ll need to get a headshot (238 damage) to secure the kill. A bullet to the leg deals 119 damage and can kill unarmored opponents in a single hit.

Before diving further into the topic, we need to take a look at the detailed stats of the Outlaw:

Damage:

  • Head: 238
  • Body: 140
  • Legs: 119

Mag Size: 2 in chamber, 10 in reserve

Equip Time: 1.25 seconds

Fire Rate: 2.75

Running Speed: 80%

Price: 2,400 Credits

Outlaw Pick Rates and Win Rates

Taking a look at the stats of the Outlaw on vstats.gg, the Outlaw is one of the lowest-picked weapons in Valorant.

Remarkably, the Outlaw holds the third-lowest pick rate among attackers, while it occupies the 14th position in terms of picks on the defending side.

Interestingly, despite its low pick rate, the Outlaw boasts a strong performance in terms of win rates. It secures the second-highest win rate on the attacking side, at 55.87%, and the third-highest win rate on the defending side, at 58.80%.

The Outlaw’s impressive win rates could be attributed to its frequent purchase during anti-eco rounds by the team that wins the pistol round. However, its effectiveness in eliminating opponents who haven’t invested in full shields should not be underestimated.

When To Buy the Outlaw in Valorant?

Taking a look at the aforementioned stats, we can see that the Outlaw is an incredibly strong weapon in Valorant when used correctly.

When considering the optimal timing to purchase the Outlaw in Valorant, it’s advisable to acquire it when the enemy team is at an economic disadvantage. Additionally, it proves to be a good investment if you can observe when the opposing team may be unable to afford full shields.
