Among those abilities are a blindsight and a detection ability, both of which should give him a bit of information and cover as he moves into the fray.

In the build-up to Gekko’s reveal, the agent was described as having “his own eclectic way of dealing with situations”, hinting at Gekko’s unusual belt of usefulness. In addition, he will have “new ways to probe corners, reveal locations, and spike.” Those were very interesting clues; Of course, the initiators are usually able to provide intel to their teams, which means probing corners and revealing locations is pretty standard. But as we now find out, Gekko is unlike any other agent in the game. Here are all the abilities for Gekko.

DIZZY (E)

Gekko equips Dizzy and fires it to fly into the air. Dizzy and then explode plasma at the sight of enemies. Its plasma damage blinds enemies. When Dizzy dies, she turns into a dormant globule that can be picked up by Gecko for another charge after a short cooldown.

Wingman (Q)

Gekko equips Wingman and fires it in search of enemies. Wingman fires a solid blast towards the first enemy that appears. Gekko can use alternate fire to either defuse or impale the spike, sending the wingman out. Gekko must have Spike in his inventory in order to use Wingman as a planter. Gekko can retrieve Wingman after a short cooldown.

Mosh Pit (C)

Gekko can hurl a mosh pit-like grenade towards the ground that will cover a large area. The Mosh simulates landing and explodes after a short delay over a wide area, similar to the KAY/O grenade. He is also able to under-toss a grenade using Alternate Fire.

THRASH (X)

Gekko prepares Thrash and leads him towards the enemies. Similar to a drone-type ability, Thrash is guided by Gekko and can be detonated remotely, trapping enemies within the blast’s radius. After Thrash expires, he can be picked up to gain another charge after a short cooldown to use one more time. Thrash can only be retrieved once.

We wait eagerly to see the changes Gekko will bring to the meta! While no official release date has been set for Gekko, Valorant Episode 6 Act 2 begins on March 7.
