Agent Geeko storms his way into Valorant with update 6.04. The patch also adds the Oni 2.0 skins.
Geeko joins the battle
New Valorant agent Gekko, a fiery young man from the sunny streets of Los Angeles, is the main highlight of patch 6.04. The newest Initiator to enter the war has already won the hearts of the game’s community thanks to his cute collection of slime-based animals and his attitude.
The other item that players were expecting is the new Oni 2.0 skin set, a bundle similar to the vintage Japanese-inspired skins the define Valorant.
