When it comes to the diverse range of VALORANT agents, players argue that none are as “complete” as Gekko. While each agent has unique talents, Gekko stands out for his adaptability and well-designed kit.
Gekko: The Complete Agent
According to a Reddit user, Riot Games exceeded expectations with Gekko’s design. The community believes Gekko’s powers are more than expected. Let us take a deeper look at the advantages of his ability.
Gekko’s Abilities in Valorant
- Moshpit: This ability causes significant area damage, similar to a Molotov in VALORANT.
- Wingman: As a scout, Wingman can stun foes upon detection. It also allows for the spike to be planted or defused many times within 10 seconds.
- Dizzy’s ability, unlike those of other agents, affects adversaries in the region rather than blinding allies. It is difficult to break because of its rapid shooting ability.
- Thrash: Gekko’s ultimate ability, Thrash, can be activated twice in one round. It has a long range and can clear a large area while containing captured opponents.
Compared to other agents, Gekko provides unrivaled flexibility and versatility. His kit is thoughtfully designed, earning him a popular favorite in the VALORANT community.
One player aptly reflects the fandom’s emotion, noting, “If I am undecided which agent to play, I end up choosing Gekko at the last second. “He can do everything.”
Although Gekko has a considerable presence in the professional metagame and a good pick rate in ranked matches, calling him a “powerful” agent is misleading. While Gekko’s ability to pick up and repeat skills appears to be powerful, it is only effective in certain situations.
Despite the advantages of Gekko’s powers, they are not without restrictions. Dizzy’s ability does not blind teammates, but she can be defeated with a single bullet. Wingman gives you a two-to-one advantage in a one-on-one fight, but he is not indestructible. Moshpit is damage may be expected and avoided, whereas Thrash takes precise management to optimize its effectiveness. Furthermore, if you do not collect the globules, none of the skills are reusable.
Nevertheless, Riot Games deserves recognition for creating a fun, creative, and fan-approved design like Gekko’s for VALORANT.
