I’ve already posted about Valorant‘s new upcoming agent, but now she’s official. Following an accidental leak, Riot have unveiled Killjoy in the way in which they meant to: with a trailer that appears like a kind of commercials for stupidly costly devices you don’t want. She’s a turret-packing, grenade-chucking, robot-deploying hacker who appears a bit like ex-RPS vidbud Alice Liguori.
I’m being snarky however I do fairly just like the trailer. And Alice Liguori.
There isn’t a lot new information right here, however right here’s the proper-official-like rundown of her skills:
⦁ “Alarmbot – EQUIP a covert Alarmbot. FIRE to deploy a bot that hunts down enemies that get in vary. After reaching its goal, the bot explodes, making use of Vulnerable. HOLD EQUIP to recall a deployed bot.
⦁ Turret – EQUIP a Turret. FIRE to deploy a turret that fires at enemies in a 180 diploma cone. HOLD EQUIP to recall the deployed turret.
⦁ Nanoswarm – EQUIP a Nanoswarm grenade. FIRE to throw the grenade. Upon touchdown, the Nanoswarm goes covert. ACTIVATE the Nanoswarm to deploy a harmful swarm of nanobots.
⦁ (Ultimate Ability) – Lockdown – EQUIP the Lockdown machine. FIRE to deploy the machine. After an extended windup, the machine Detains all enemies caught within the radius. The machine might be destroyed by enemies.”
The leaked vids nonetheless present ’em off finest. Those involved in regards to the turret ought to observe how piddly it’s. I’ll preserve banging this drum till the web accepts that turret characters aren’t inherently dangerous, or till I’ve a go and the web is proved right.
Killjoy will seem as a part of Valorant Act II, which launches August 4th.
