    • @abrawolf
      @abrawolf 2 місяці тому +3

      @checkpointstore1 check tab, you can see their credits before the round starts and guess what they might buy. If, say, 3 enemies have less than 3900 then they might not have full armor. In cases where it's something like 4100 it depends on the agent and the utility used in the previous round. Is its a sage who used wall last round then they are likely running half armor on the next one. You kind of get a feel on how people spend their credits over time

    We also saw this work in one more game. It was Lev vs Sen where Aspas was buying Outlaw and abusing Sen's light shield rifle buys. They lost so many early rounds to it that they were forced to respect the Outlaw later in the game and go full armor.

    Logically speaking, if you know the enemy buys light sheilds (which is meta) it's a 1 tap, and even if they buy full, they still become easy to kill while you're on the other side of the map

    The fact that outlaw can 1 shot light armor AND it could still shoot the 2nd bullet makes it stronger than op in some situations. (with almost half of op price).

    This is actually pretty normal, I've been playing like this since the outlaw was implemented in the game and I have seen plenty of players doing the same even in mid elo... The fact they did this will just inform or teach players who don't analyze ways to get an advantage with economy... Other comments already said this is kind of normal and I agree, I am even more surprised that pros didn't abuse this since day 1(or maybe they did)... Valorant won't change Riot made this planned to be played like that we will only see way more people now doing it.... The same goes with Sova / Odin strategie

  • @utsavmanandharz156

    better teams have recognized this and have started adapting preemptively. NRG and Heretics to name a few opted to FULL save if they lost the pistol( all classics, not even a ghost) which guarantees a full shield buy on their anti bonus

  • @victorbigum4112
    @victorbigum4112 6 місяців тому

    I hope pros start doing this, cause we all know how annoying it is to 1. Have to full save if you lose pistol, and 2. Buy heavy armor, if they enemies just buy outlaw in rifle rounds. This is just a smart way to firstly save money, as said, it’s just a cheaper operator, and secondly, which was also mentioned, this just forces teams to buy heavy armor, causing less rifle rounds, and (hopefully) a lower amount of rounds won for the enemies.

  • @soap6264

      @Malam_NightYoru 6 місяців тому

      Massive damage?
      Marshal - 101 damage, meaning the enemy can survive a full vandal shot after twking damage with full shields.
      Outlaw has two quick speed shots with no recoil that deal 140 damage, meaning you get one tapped by q classic after it.
      You're just not looking at how profitable is the gun, really.

    • @Browniev2
      @Browniev2 6 місяців тому

      is 101 NOT massive damage? Surviving one bodyshot sure whatever, but what about the price of the gun? It's 1400 creds cheaper and fulfills the same purpose to a slightly worse extent, but it boasts more ammo, infinite fast reloads, an accurate no scope, AND still 1-taps to the head. For the price, the Outlaw is just too situational to work well for the average player, and Paper Rex can only utilize it because Gen.G aren't used to playing against that kind of eco strategy. It's a surprise pick. It's like saying 2022 Yoru was goated because it had a high win-rate. When you look at it in a vacuum, it looks great. But the marshal makes it look shit, because minus the few situations it gets value, it's pretty mediocre. @@Malam_NightYoru

( top fragger with marshal). after long time using it, You will start understand which angle you hold and how to use it in every situation, also you learn to fight in close range with it (after many game, death and try ) plus u have shorty ( use it wisely :D ). im marshal only asc2 player and already outlaw only asc1 again. but still learning... last time i checked my headshot chance in unranked and that was 73% ( 11 game result, 95 kills), in ranked 64%.. one day i will reach immo with it :) bro, just trying to say that outlaw not trash gun.. you should try using that and have fun bro :D

It's best against light shields ofc but it is much better against full armor than the marshall is (if your team is also on a buy round and you don't have money for an AWP), with it having 2 quick shots with virtually no recoil (and if the second shot misses, you leave the player in 1 shot range from any gun. Marshall won't even leave someone in 1 shot range from a Vandal).
