The first new Champion that's coming to 2XKO when it leaves early access has been revealed, with Caitlyn bringing her long-barreled rifle to the League of Legends fighting game.

2XKO is a fighting game that uses the Champions from League of Legends for its roster. The game is currently in early access on PC, with the full launch on January 20, alongside PS5 and Xbox Series X/S ports.

The early access version of 2KXO already has a packed roster, and the first new Champion has received a gameplay trailer. The official 2XKO YouTube channel has a trailer for Caitlyn, who will be added to the game once it leaves early access.

Caitlyn mostly uses a sniper rifle in battle, which might seem like an odd choice for a fighting game, considering they happen in small arenas. The gun isn't the only weapon in her arsenal, as she also has a pistol, a claw trap, and a shield that she can fire through.

Her gameplay style seems to focus on slow, but extremely powerful attacks that leave enemies open to counters. The drawback is that she's wide open for enemy attacks, meaning characters with a lot of speed and mobility will be able to sneak through her defenses and strike her.

The launch of 2XKO is nigh, and Riot Games needs to make as strong a first impression as possible, especially if they want to pin people over from the fighting game community. Hopefully, Caitlyn isn't the only new Champion arriving at launch, as the people who have stuck with the game through early access need some new characters to play with.
