After months and months of leaks, Valorant has finally had the full reveal for agent 22, now known as Gekko! Most of the leaks about Gekko that came out in the past months were correct. Especially the leaks about his abilities and name.
Gekko is the newest initiator on the roster, and he quickly established himself as one of the best Valorant agents. However, Gekko didn't come alone. The American agent brought with him his faithful companions.
So, let's say hello to Gekko, alongside his buddies Dizzy, Wingman, Thrash, and Mosh, and welcome them to Valorant.
Gekko Abilities in Valorant
Like all Valorant agents, Gekko has four abilities. Each one of these abilities is unique and can have a huge impact on the results of a round. Since Gekko is an initiator, his skillset is focused on getting information and setting up his teammates for success.
Gekko abilities are called Dizzy, Wingman, Mosh Pit, and Thrash. All of them are extremely strong when used correctly. This is why if you are an initiator player, you need to master Gekko.
Gekko throws Dizzy in the air, and she moves forward, scouting that area. Dizzy will blind any enemy in her line of sight for 2.5 seconds, allowing Gekko's teammates to catch him off guard.
Wingman is arguably the most unique ability in Valorant. You can send Wigman to plant or defuse the bomb. He can also be used to scout an area.
Mosh Pit is essentially a molly, and it does damage in an area like most mollys in Valorant do. After Mosh Pit lands, it will duplicate across that, and after a brief period, it will explode. This will cause damage to players on it or near it. Because of this, Mosh Pit is one of the strongest molly's in Valorant.
Gekko Ultimate is a mixture of Skye Q and Killjoy Ultimate. Thrash can be used to search for enemies and discover their locations. If he hits the opposing players, they will be detained for 6 seconds. So, if you are hit with Gekko Ultimate, you will most likely die soon after.
