Hey guys, it's Toby and in this video, we'll be comparing the sniper rifles in Valorant to the sniper rifles in Counter-Strike Global Offensive
Let's go
The first Sniper we have here is the Marshall, The Marshall is very similar to the Scout, the SSG 08 in
CS:GO they are both bolt-actions
Semi-automatic sniper rifles with the ability to kill with one shot that a head or two shots to the body
They are also the cheaper options of the much bigger sniper rifles, which will come on to in a moment
But that's where the similarity starts to end. The cost of the Marshal is
1,100 creds compared to the
1,700 dollars of the scout in addition to this the magazine size on the Marshal is five bullets
Whereas the magazine size on the scout is 10 bullets
The Marshal also has medium wall penetration in Valorant compared to the Scout which we would have considerably higher wall penetration in CS:GO
further
differences include the fact that you can only scope once with the Marshal whereas you can zoom in when scoping already with the scout a
Big difference is the fact that you can no-scope
Reasonably well with the Marshal as you can see your crosshair and you can see where the bullets are going
Whereas with the scout and CS:GO you do not have your crosshair to help you and speaking of crosshairs a good quality of life improvement
In Valorant is the fact that you have a red dot appear when scoped in with your sniper
Rifles this indicates that you're standing still and your bullet is more likely to hit where you're aiming
Further to this if you're moving and shooting with the Marshal you have to counter-strafe if otherwise your bullet is just gonna go in
Any random direction the scout is a bit more forgiving in that regard
Overall, both of these sniper rifles are perfectly viable in their respective games. Yes. They are the cheaper alternatives
However, that opens more possibilities for them to be used in say the second round or maybe an eco round
Maybe if your snipers just feeling himself and thinks he can hit all of those headshots
But with the second set of sniper rifles, you won't have to worry about hitting headshots
These are the bigger much more powerful variants and here in Valorant. We have the Operator
The operator is very similar to the AWP even sounds kind of similar, you know
AWP-erator
But anyway, the operator is much like the AWP in a sense
That is a bolt-action sniper rifle with the ability to kill with one bullet to the body
But the similarities don't end there
The Operator has a high wall penetration rating
Which is similar to how the AWP can be used to wall-bang in addition to this
The cost is very similar as the operator cost
4,500 creds whereas the AWP costs four thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars
This puts the operator as the most expensive weapon in Valorant at the moment
The AWP however is outpriced by the auto snipers and the M249 in CS:GO
Some subtle differences come in the fact that the operator has a magazine size of 5 bullets compared to the AWP's 10 bullets
The Operator is also slightly better when no scoping as you have the normal crosshair to help you compared to the AWP where you don't
Have a crosshair at all when moving and shooting the operator again requires you to counter-strafe and stop completely
Otherwise, your bullet is just going to go in a random direction the same applies for the AWP but it is a bit more forgiving
In CS:GO overall these guns pretty much speak for themselves
The operator will be commonplace in Valorant much how the AWP is commonplace in CS:GO
They are both expensive which means you won't see them in early rounds in either half
when the gun rounds start coming in you always have to expect someone to at least have an
Operator or an AWP, the AWP itself is iconic in CS:GO and the Operator has the ability to be iconic in Valorant
I imagine you will be seeing this gun quite a lot in the high-level
competitive games all the way down to the unranked scrimmages you have normally and with that this brings us to the end of our
Comparison of the two sniper rifles in Valorant to the two sniper rifles in the CS:GO. What do you think about them?
