VALORANT might introduce a brand new weapon in its arsenal. Here are all the details about the upcoming weapon.
VALORANT is a hero-based first-person shooter. Agents in different roles and their distinctive abilities are what make the game unique in its own genre. However, the core fundamental relies heavily on the shooting part. So, VALORANT offers a versatile arsenal featuring weapons of different categories.
With its full release in 2020, VALORANT allows players to use as many as 17 different weapons, divided into 6 classes. Although Riot Games has been pretty consistent with their updates, and hence adding new agents to the game, they never intended to add any new weapon to the list till now. But after three years of release, Riot might add a completely new weapon, at least, that is what a recent leak is suggesting.
