Dizzy (E): This will be the first ability of the agent. Upon pressing ‘E’, Gekko will throw his turtle-like pet, which will unleash blind plasma at enemies in line of sight. The effect of the blind plasma will stay for a few seconds.

Wingman (Q): Upon pressing ‘Q’, Gekko will release another creature called Wingman who will unleash a concussive blast toward the first enemy in line of sight. Players can ALT Fire when targetting a spike site, so the creature can defuse or plant the spike. Once the Wingman is expired, he’ll revert into a dormant globule and can then be reclaimed, and after a short cooldown, the ability will be charged and ready to use.

Mosh Pit (C): Mosh is another animal that Gekko can release as a grenade. Mosh will be a small green jelly-like creature that will bounce and explode on the marked area giving damage to enemies.

Thrash (X): Finally, upon pressing X, Gekko will unleash his ultimate. Thrash is an armored fish-like pet that will explode to detain enemies. Just like Wingman, Thrash can be reclaimed as a globule.

Valorant’s Episode 6 Act II will begin on March 8 at 9:30 AM IST.
