5 Skinlines Perfect for the Outlaw Sniper in Valorant Episode 8

Ahead of Valorant Patch 8.0, we compiled a list of the five skinlines perfect for the Outlaw Sniper in Valorant Episode 8.

Valorant Episode 8 Act 1 arrives today with map changes to Lotus and Icebox, Agent changes to Deadlock and Killjoy, and a new weapon for the first time in the game's history. The Outlaw is joining the Marshal and the Operator as the third sniper in Riot Games' FPS, and fans cannot wait to try out the gun. Unfortunately, the Kuronami collection, dropping in Patch 8.0, does not feature a skin for the Outlaw.

As we wait for Riot Games to release skins for the new weapon, we brainstormed the five best skinlines the Outlaw could be added to in Valorant.

5 Skinlines Perfect for the Outlaw Sniper in Valorant Episode 8

Here's five skinlines perfect for the Outlaw Sniper in Valorant Episode 8.

5. Ion Collection

• Release Date: Episode 1, Episode 5
• Rarity: Premium

The Ion collection is one of the earliest skinlines in Valorant, released all the way back in Patch 1.12. The sleek, sophisticated design was such a hit that Riot Games brought back the collection in Patch 5.05, launching new skins for the Frenzy, Spectre, Vandal, and Ares. The standout, though, was always the Operator back in the original collection. The light blue accents look great on a sniper, and the Outlaw would be the perfect addition to the skinline.

4. Sakura Collection

• Release Date: Episode 1, Episode 3
• Rarity: Deluxe

Despite dropping twice in Valorant, the Sakura collection never featured a sniper in its skinline. In fact, the collection was only designed for the Classic, Sheriff, Stinger, Vandal, and Ares. Even though it has not been back in Valorant in years, now would be an ideal time to reintroduce the throwback line for the Outlaw. The cherry blossoms offer a different, unique vibe to the deadly weapon that will stand out in a lobby.

3. Gaia's Vengeance

• Release Date: Episode 4, Episode 7
• Rarity: Premium

Gaia's Vengeance is a fan-favorite skinline for a reason. The Earth Goddess-inspired skins cover the best weapons in the game with twisting roots that have a mind of their own. The collection was so beloved that Riot Games recently dropped Gaia's Vengeance 2.0 in Patch 7.07. The haunting, elegant design would all-but double the power of the Outlaw. Since there was never a Gaia's Vengeance skin for the Operator, an Outlaw Gaia's Vengeance could easily become one of the most popular sniper skins in the game.

2. Reaver Collection

• Release Date: Episode 1, Episode 5
• Rarity: Premium

Adding the Outlaw Sniper to the Reaver collection would be a no-brainer. After so many Omen-lead teasers for the new weapon, the Reaver design seems like an effortless fit for the Outlaw. The regal purple and sharp silver make any weapon look menacing, and with the projected damage statistics of the Outlaw, a Reaver skin dripping with prestige makes perfect sense for the sniper.

1. Sentinels of Light Collection

• Release Date: Episode 3, Episode 7
• Rarity: Exclusive

The Sentinels of Light skinline is an Exclusive Bundle for a reason. Personal preference aside, we all can agree that the Sentinels of Light collection is one of the best skinlines ever produced by Riot Games. Both releases of the collection were worth the VP, especially for weapons like the Operator and Vandal. Bringing the Outlaw to the S-Tier collection would have fans throwing their VP at Riot Games.
