Gekko has been here a week! How are you liking him? With any new agent introduced to VALORANT, there will be bugs. The team over at Riot and VALORANT have spent the last week fine tuning Gekko and we will see a few changes for him in Patch 6.05.

Gekko will see some agent updates and bug fixes coming just a week after his launch.

Patch 6.05 Agent Updates

• Wingman’s (Q) Plant and Defuse targeting has been improved in order to target higher locations.
• Added audio variations for Mosh Pit’s (C) explosions.
• Audio improvements for Dizzy’s (E) plasma blasts, which will help you easily identify if it’s flying towards you or towards an ally while in the air.
• Added VFX to when Gekko is reclaiming an orb, as well as when the globule reclaim is complete.
• Improved visuals for enemy creature globules.
• Improved performance in Agent Select.
