Today, Riot Games and VALORANT revealed Tejo, a seasoned Colombian intelligence expert. Its ballistic guidance system forces enemies to lose ground and even lives. His surgical strikes allow him to keep enemies under his control. Tejo’s skills are:
Special delivery
EQUIP a Sticky Grenade. PULL to throw it. The grenade sticks to the first surface hit and explodes, disorienting targets hit. SECONDARY FIRE allows you to throw the grenade by bouncing it once.
Stealth drone
EQUIP yourself a stealth drone. PULL to launch the drone forward and take control of it. SHOOT again to trigger a pulse that incapacitates and reveals hit enemies.
Self-guided salvo
EQUIP yourself with an augmented reality targeting system. SHOOT to target up to two locations on the map. Use SECONDARY FIRE to launch autonomous missiles that will fly towards targeted positions and explode upon arrival.
(ULTIME) Apocalypse
EQUIP yourself with a tactical map. DRAW to select the point of origin of the strike. SHOOT again to fix the end point and launch the attack, which causes a series of explosions on the line thus drawn. Use SECONDARY FIRE while targeting to cancel the point of origin.
VALORANT also introduces Flex, its first cosmetic innovation since launch, which takes the form of holdable items to offer players new ways to express themselves in-game. They are equipped via the Collection menu and appear in-game in the graffiti wheel. To celebrate the launch of Flex, a free Flex will be given to everyone, and a second can be earned in the Season 2025 // Act I battle pass.
The act also introduces a new collection of skins, EX.O. Inspired by futuristic sci-fi themes, she will dress the Vandal, the Sheriff, the Ghost, the Outlaw and a Katana, the Blade (EX.O). The new battle pass will include the Ghost (Celestia), the Epilogue: Tactical Space War card, the two-handed melee weapon Blades (Hieroglyphics), the Outlaw (Moon Scout), the Lucky Cow Charm, and the Flex Stellar Dendrite.
The 2025 season // act I will open on January 8, 2025 and EX.O will go on sale on January 9.
