Valorant: New agent Gekko is coming this week

Riot Games has officially confirmed the next agent in online shooter Valorant! You don’t have to wait long for Gekko, because the release will take place in the new week.

As the developers at Riot Games announced over the weekend, Gekko, the newest agent in Valorant, will be available from March 7th in the new week. The new character hails from Los Angeles and joins the Valorant project along with fellow creatures.

Backstory: Gekko was born and raised in Los Angeles as a first-generation child of Mexican immigrants. His character is shaped by the cultural heritage of his parents, but also by the city in which he grew up. As the Initiator, Gekko’s role is to give his team an advantage in battle. His four little friends help him with this: they jump ahead of Gekko and are supposed to drive away the members of the opposing team. Gekko is hot on their heels, because by picking up the little animals again, he can use some of his abilities again after a short cooldown and continue to put pressure on the opponents.

Who are the four little creatures in detail? His blue friend “Dizzy” charges forward and fires plasma shots at enemies in sight, blinding enemies hit. Dizzy can be picked up and used again after a short cooldown, as can Wingman. He unleashes a concussive blast at the first enemy he sees. With ALT fire on a spike area, Wingman defuses or places the spike. To place it, Gekko must be the spike bearer.

The little green “Mosh” is thrown like a grenade. After landing, Mosh spreads out over a large area and after a short delay explodes. Gekko’s ultimate is also tied to one of his companions. By equipping and firing, Gekko connects to “Thrash’s” spirit and can direct it. Activating it will leap forward and explode to thwart enemies in a small area. Thrash can be picked up once and used again after a short cooldown.

Included in Gekko’s agent contract are three graffitis, two banners, a talisman, two titles, a shorty skin, and Gekko himself.
