Introducing Gekko, the latest Initiator Agent in Valorant. With his crew of four, Gekko is ready to provide support by clearing corners, scouting areas, and even planting and defusing the Spike. But that’s not all. Oni has made a comeback with a new melee, and you can find out more about it by playing the game.
Joining Gekko are Dizzy, Wingman, Thrash, Mosh, and the leader of the crew – Gekko himself, who is a native of Los Angeles. Dizzy’s plasma blasts can help you take down enemies, while Wingman can scout out areas and shower the opposing team with obstructive plasma. Use Mosh to explode and duplicate across large areas, and let Thrash pounce on enemies with a plasmatic burst. Work together with your team, cause chaos, and rally together to do it again.
Oni’s return also brings with it a path of revenge and corruption, featuring a Vandal, Bulldog, Ares, Frenzy, and the new Onimaru Kunitsuna (Katana melee). You can cater to your inner demon by getting your hands on these items.

In terms of performance updates, thread synchronization has been updated to reduce input latency, improving input latency by approximately 1 frame for players who meet certain criteria.
Several bugs have been fixed, including one related to Sage’s Barrier Orb that caused it to fortify to full health instead of going to max health minus the damage that was dealt during fortification. Additionally, a bug where abilities like Sova Drone that are pushed by Lotus doors into other players could continue to push players even after the door stops or the players exited the door’s area has been fixed.
Experience the thrill of the game with these exciting updates and bug fixes. Get ready to dominate the battlefield in Valorant!
