Valorant announces Tejo as new Agent and Initiator with a bagful of weaponry tricks you are going to enjoy – everything we know so far

Riot Games has unveiled its 26th Valorant Agent who, at the same time becomes the game’s seventh Initiator in the shape of Tejo – a Columbian intelligence expert with a loadout that is creative enough to get most players interested.

If you were concerned the big V was getting a little stale, Tejo will bring four new abilities to the battlefield including a stealth drone and a ballistic guidance system to keep your enemies suppressed.

Riot has also introduced a new cosmetic skin (yawn) called Flex that will no doubt be costing real money somewhere near you soon.

Special Delivery

Equip a sticky grenade. Fire to launch. The grenade sticks to the first surface it hits and explodes, Concussing any targets caught in the blast. Alt-Fire to launch the grenade with a single bounce instead.

Stealth Drone

Equip a stealth drone. Fire to throw the drone forward, assuming direct control of its movement. Fire again to trigger a pulse that Suppresses and Reveals enemies hit.

Guided Salvo

Equip an AR targeting system. Fire to select up to two target locations on the map. Alt-Fire to launch missiles that autonomously navigate to target locations, detonating on arrival.

(ULT) Armageddon

Equip a tactical strike targeting map. Fire to select the origin point of the strike. FIRE again to set the end point and launch the attack, unleashing a wave of explosions along the strike path. Alt-Fire during map targeting to cancel the origin point.

You can never have enough cosmetic skins in games so we are always super-grateful when companies find more ways of monetizing. Fortunately for us (and this is all sarcastic in case you think we have lost our minds) Flex is a new cosmetic announced today that allows you to show off something you are proud of – or flex (or emote!).

It is equipped via Collections and appears in game in a player’s Spray Wheel. To celebrate the launch of Flex, players will receive a free Flex with a second Flex available in the Season 2025 // Act I Battlepass.
