What Are Gekko's Abilities in VALORANT?
Since Gekko is an Initiator agent, it is about how you start a round using his abilities to take control of a certain part of the map. Given his versatile abilities, he can give your team enough space to enter a bomb site. Whether he is blinding enemies or swapping their positions using the Mosh Pit field, he can maximize the chance of playing after taking control when needed.
Here is a full summary of his abilities in the game:
- E Ability – Dizzy (Free) : EQUIP Dizzy. FIRE to throw Dizzy. Dizzy shoots plasma at enemies that enter its vision. Enemies hit by the plasma are blinded. When Dizzy expires, it turns into a dormant globule. INTERACT with the globule to pick it back up and gain another Dizzy charge after a short cooldown.
- Q Ability – Wingman (300 Credits) : EQUIP Wingman. FIRE to send Wingman out to seek enemies. Wingman creates a concussive blast toward the first enemy it sees. ALT FIRE while aiming at a Spike site or a planted Spike to have Wingman plant or defuse the Spike. Gekko must have picked up the Spike to plant it. When Wingman expires, it turns into a dormant globule. INTERACT with the globule to pick it back up and gain another Wingman charge after a short cooldown.
- C Ability – Mosh Pit (250 Credits) : EQUIP Mosh Pit. FIRE to throw Mosh Pit like a grenade. ALT FIRE to lob it low. Mosh Pit spreads over a large area where it lands and detonates after a short delay
- X (Ultimate) Ability – Thrash (7 Ultimate Points) : EQUIP Thrash. FIRE to enter Thrash's mind and roam enemy territory with it. ACTIVATE to have Thrash lunge forward and explode, detaining enemies in a small area. When Thrash expires, it turns into a dormant globule. INTERACT with the globule to pick it back up and gain another Thrash charge after a short cooldown. Thrash can only be reclaimed once.
How Do You Plant the Spike With Gekko? 2023
Gekko's Q ability, Wingman, will help you a lot with this. After the round starts, move toward the bomb site normally, as if you were going to plant the Spike yourself. Then, when you see the bomb site, press the Q ability. If you also have the Spike, a right-click prompt appears on Wingman. You can choose where you want it and send Wingman to the bomb site by right-clicking. Of course, do not neglect protection either. Remember, Wingman is your best friend and companion, and it is not as durable as you are :)
