VALORANT reveals Agent 22: Gekko

After a long anticipation, VALORANT has revealed the newest addition to the agents roster. The agent was revealed in the showdown between Tarik's team and FRTTT's team before VCT LOCK//IN Grand Finals. The showmatch included the first look to the agent, his abilities, potential and much more. Here's a breakdown of the new agent: Gekko.

Origins

Gekko was born in Los Angeles and that's where he grew up as well, the fresh looking agent is seen hanging out with another familiar face, the Mexican self-healing agent.

Gekko is known as Agent 22 and has the same class as Sova, Skye, Breach, Fade and KAY/O : An Initiator.

Abilities

In the Agent Trailer, we see Gekko hanging out with his creatures, so his abilities will revolve around that!

• Dizzy (E): Equip Dizzy FIRE to send Dizzy soaring forward through the air. Dizzy charges and then unleash plasma blasts at enemies in line of sight. Enemies hit by her plasma are blinded. When Dizzy expires she reverts into a dormant globule, INTERACT to reclaim the globule and gain another Dizzy charge after a short cooldown.

• Wingman (Q): Equip Wingman FIRE to send Wingman forward seeking enemies. Wingman unleashes a concussive blast toward the first enemy he sees, ALT FIRE when targeting a Spike site or planted Spike to have Wingman defuse or plant the Spike. To plant, Gekko must have the Spike in his inventory. When Wingman expires he reverts into a dormant globule, INTERACT to reclaim the globule and gain another Wingman charge after a short cooldown.

• Mosh-Pit (C): Equip Mosh FIRE to throw Mosh like a grenade, ALT FIRE to throw underhand. Upon landing, Mosh duplicates across a large area, then after a short delay explodes.

• Thrash (X): Equip Thrash FIRE to link with Thrash’s mind and steer her through enemy

Release Date

Gekko is set to release with the launch of Act Two, Episode Six (March 7th).
