VALORANT: meet Gekko, the new agent of the shooter who has companions

Riot Games the best was saved for the Grand Final of LOCK//IN Sao Paulo de VALORANT. While viewers were waiting for the match between LOUD and Fnatic, the development company surprised with an exhibition match of content creators from around the world, where Gekko, the new agent from Los Angeles, was tested live.

Let’s remember that the World Cup will be played in the United States, so this time we will have an agent from the megacity on the west coast. In turn, through YouTube, they shared the first official trailer of the character and his abilities.

“Why settle for one when you can have five? Introducing Dizzy, Wingman, Thrash and Mosh, a team of nefarious creatures led by Gekko, the Los Angeles agent coming to VALORANT with EP_06 // ACT II. Created in collaboration with Lightfarm Studios”, explains the developer in the preview.

As you can see, there are four small creatures that will help Gekko in combat. Dizzy, Wingman, Thrash and Mosh take on different tasks during combat. These are the character’s abilities.

Gekko’s abilities

One of them has the ability to blind enemies, another will be a scout or like a drone that when hitting enemies will disable them, in the same style as Killjoy’s ultimate ability. He also has a partner who can plant the spike.

The latter can only perform its action for five seconds, so it can plant and ‘defuse’ or disable up to half of the spike. Finally, it has a grenade that does damage per second on the ground and when it explodes it does 150 damage.
