According to our friend ValorLeaks on Twitter, the new Valorant agent is called Deadeye and might be a duelist. And honestly, it kind of reminds us of Midas from Fortnite. Here is the leak with some nice pictures of Deadeye:
What also stands out in the pictures is the weapon Deadeye is holding in his hand. We are currently not aware of any weapon that looks like this - so it could very well be that we will get a new weapon with Deadeye. Or maybe the weapon is tied to one of Deadeye's skills, I mean with a name like that it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to predict what he might at least focus on.The next agent codenamed "Deadeye" has been teased in the One Year Anthem. | #VALORANT pic.twitter.com/ny6tgoKJYF
