Operator

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

Summary
The Operator is a high-cost sniper rifle and the most expensive gun in the game. As a sniper, it has a scope with two zoom settings on its Alternate Fire mode that has perfect accuracy when standing still. The Operator's Primary Fire accuracy on the other hand is extremely inaccurate.

The Operator's power comes from its high-damage bullets, being able to instantly kill any enemy with a single shot to the body, though with its low rate of fire every missed shot comes with a cost. Compared to the Marshal, which can only instantly kill shielded enemies with headshots, the Operator is also better at picking off enemies with wallbang shots due to its higher penetration.

Stats
Note: Multiplier values for leg shot damage and falloff other than x0.833 or x0.85 (which commonly appear across several weapons) are estimates


 * Headshot multiplier: x1.7
 * Leg shot multiplier: x0.8

Trivia

 * During the Beta, the weapon's full name was the BSW-460 Operator (Ballistic Sniper Weapon).
 * The 460 implied the Operator used cartridges like a .460 Steyr.
 * On the default skin, the weapon's name is printed OPR47R.
 * The Operator's design has similarities to the Accuracy International AX50, Barrett M107 (magazine well and trigger guard), and Barrett M98B (pistol grip).
 * Despite the Operator's and the Odin's heavy physical appearance, the Bucky and Judge are the weapons slowest to run with.
