Marshal

The Marshal is a Sniper rifle that is a primary weapon in VALORANT.

Summary
The Marshal is a low cost sniper rifle. As a sniper, it has a scope with a single zoom setting on its Alternate Fire mode that has perfect accuracy when standing still. Despite sniper rifles usually being extremely inaccurate when used in Primary Fire mode, the Marshal is surprisingly accurate in this case, meaning it can be used to take on multiple enemies at once so long as the user can hit their shots.

As a lever action sniper rifle, the Marshal is reloaded one bullet at a time. Because the Marshal's reload time is also shorter than it's fire rate, this means that a user can reload a bullet in between shots, effectively increasing the magazine's capacity to the entire available reserve.

Compared to the costlier Operator, the Marshal's is better at fighting multiple enemies due to its higher fire rate, but this would require exceptional aim from ther user as they will need to hit headshots instead. The Operator meanwhile deals much more damage that allows it to instantly kill enemies with a body shot as well as headshots, whereas the Marshal can only do this against unshielded enemies.

Stats

 * Leg shot multiplier: x0.846 (11/13)

Trivia

 * During the Beta, the weapon's full name was the LAR-1887 Marshal (Lever Action Rifle).
 * The Marshal's design appears to be a hybrid rendition of two firearms, based loosely upon both the Winchester 1873/1894 lever action rifle and the Steyr Scout.
