There is no denying that Valorant shares a few similarities with Counter-Strike. But when it comes down to straight-up “copying Valve’s homework,” Riot managed to screw up the whole “just change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious” rule.
I say that because, well, basically every gun in Valorant is a rip-off of a CSGO weapon.
The Classic is the Glock. The Sheriff is the Deagle. Vandal is the AK. Hell, the Bulldog is basically just the Famas and Galil Frankensteined together.
But, when it comes to Riots dollar-store dupes, no two weapons are more alike in premise than the OP and… well, the AWP.
Whether it's the big green or whatever this is, the premium bolt-action snipers both play a similar role. They're both high risk, high reward. Typically one shot, one kill. And absolutely control the battlefield when in the right hands.
That being said… they aren’t completely identical. While on the surface they may appear to be the same weapon, when you get into the nitty-gritty, they couldn't be more different.
We’re here to find out exactly which one of these boom-sticks is better than the other, how simple nerfs changed the course of both games forever and, most importantly… should anything be changed?
