Valorant Patch 6.04 is now live with performance updates, bug fixes, and a new Agent, Gekko.
Valorant Episode 6 Act I introduced Lotus, a new map with three bombsites. Now, Episode 6 Act II is bringing an Initiator with a crew of creatures to the game. Gekko's abilities are all tied to his pets, and some can even be used multiple times in the same round, including his Ultimate that detains any enemies in a small radius.
Here's a breakdown of all the other changes coming with the latest patch, per Riot Games.
