The Operator in Valorant is a high-risk, high-reward weapon. In the hands of the right player, it can be devastating to the enemies.

With its one-shot, one-kill power over most ranges, the Operator becomes an excellent choice, especially on the defending side. Having an Operator in your team can almost guarantee you that first pick, which grants your team a player advantage.

However, for the Operator to truly shine, the user with the Operator must not miss. This is what makes it so risky.

If you miss your shots, you are most certainly dead because of the time it takes to shoot the next bullet. Thus, the Operator can only truly shine in the hands of the right gamer.

Playing with it isn’t the most challenging task in the world, but to master it is a whole new ball game. Only the best of the best Operator players in the game have truly honed their skills in using this sniper rifle.
