VALORANT Episode 6 Act III has a new Agent joining the fray. Hailing from Los Angeles, Gekko and his lovable creature friends will join the list. Here’s what you need to know about the latest VALORANT Dealer.
Gekko’s ability
Gekko’s toolkit is quite unique with the way his abilities are named after each of his creature friends. He can also regain most of his abilities after deploying them and collect their orbs when his abilities expire.
- Dizziness (E): Dizzy is a turtle-like creature that Gekko can shoot into the air. Dizzying fee after that unleashes dazzling plasma blasts at any enemy in her line of sight. Gekko is able to get Dizzy back when she completes her quest in the form of an interactive sphere and Dizzy charge reset after a short cooldown.
- Winged Man (Q): Wingman is an adorable owl/penguin-like creature that, when fired, searches for enemies and explodes the first enemy he sees with a concussion explosion. Live by your name, Wingman can also remove or plant Spike as long as Gekko has Spike in his inventory. Like vertigo, Wingman can also be recharged after finding his interactive orb where he has expired.
- Mosh crater (C): Mosh is a small green jelly that looks like a tanuki head that can be thrown like a grenade (with the ability to replace fire to throw under the hand). When Mosh lands, he will duplicate himself through a green puddle and explode in the marked area.
- Lizard (X): Thrash is an armored fish creature. When activated, she will dash forward and explode imprisoning any enemies within a small radius. Thrash can also be reclaimed as an orb and gains an extra charge after the cooldown. But unlike Wingman and Dizzy, Thrash can only be redeemed once.
VALORANT Episode 6 Dao II begins on March 7, 2023, and with an announcement to Gekko, Riot Games has announced that Gekko’s hometown of Los Angeles will host the 2023 VALORANT Champions Global Finals. The venue for the VALORANT Champions is the Shrine Auditorium and the finals at the KIA Forum.
Early next week we’ll have a video breakdown of Gekko and how his abilities manifest in the game, so be sure to stay tuned here at IGN for all the latest VALORANT updates.
