For the past few weeks, legendary Twitch streamer Shroud has dabbled in two of the most popular games from the FPS genre. The Canadian streamer has enjoyed a lot playing and reacting to Valve’s CS: GO and Riot Games’ Valorant. Many fans of the FPS genre consider these titles to be the best for Esports and competitive play.

The games have a lot of similarities with the weapons and strategies that players devise. But along with that, both the developers have created an experience that differs a lot, which fans appreciate. However, Shroud feels that Valorant might want to add a very iconic pistol from CS: GO to its weapons arsenal.

The weapon in-between Ghost and Sheriff

Shroud later explained the reason why he wanted to play with a Five-Seven on the Riot Games title. He mentioned that he wanted a pistol that works between the Ghost and the Sheriff. In CS: GO, the closest weapon to the Ghost is the USP-S, with the Sheriff being close to the Desert Eagle.

Shroud noted that the game needed a non-suppressed pistol, which isn’t as loud as the Sheriff. So having a weapon like the Five-Season should add more variety to the gameplay. However, unlike Valorant, CS: GO only offers this pistol to competitors playing as Terrorists.

“They have the Ghost, but I don’t want a suppressed one. I want a loud one, but then they have the Sheriff. I don’t want the Sheriff. I want that in-between there.”
