VALORANT’s new agent, Gekko, will undergo some adjustments in the 6.05 patch update. In the changes Agent 22 will experience in the upcoming patch, we will see some changes in his performance and some improvements in his Q skill.

This information has been made public through a posting on Reddit by Jo-Ellen Aragon, better known as Riot JoEllenPDF. However, you can already find it on the official VALORANT website.

Changes in the next patch

It is no surprise to anyone that in the new patch that is about to arrive in the game, the main character will be the new agent Gekko. From what they have published, we know there will be a change in Gekko’s gameplay and the agent’s audiovisuals.

So far, the most significant change that has been made to Gekko is an improvement in Wingman’s aim to have a better range in higher areas. Also, the explosions sound better and less repetitive.

Patch notes

Gekko

Wingman’s (Q) Plant and Defuse targeting has been improved to target higher locations.

Audio improvements

  • 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

Improved visual effects

  • Added VFX to when Gekko is reclaiming an orb, as well as when the globule reclaim is complete
  • Improved visuals for enemy creature globules

Performance updates

Added “CPU Wait GPU Time” metric to performance settings to help players track when their machines are Render Thread bound.

On the other hand, he asks the player community to report all bugs in the game. He recommends doing so, preferably with a screenshot or a video where they can verify what the player reports. In addition, they should specify as many details as possible to implement the relevant improvements as the case may be.

When will this update arrive?

The patch is expected to arrive in VALORANT in 2 days, which means it will be introduced on March 16. The public beta environment for the patch started last March 10 and ended yesterday, March 13.

This is an important fact for VALORANT fans who would like to be in the testing before the patch release. You should know that beta testing of the patches is done in small groups of people; these people have previously registered on the game’s official website and are located in North America.
