Riot Games has officially revealed Agent 27 for VALORANT: Tejo, a Colombian intelligence consultant with extensive expertise. Tejo’s ballistic guidance abilities force enemies to either abandon their positions or face devastating consequences. His precise, calculated strikes destabilize opponents, giving his team the upper hand. Here’s an in-depth look at Tejo’s role and abilities in VALORANT.
Tejo’s Role and Abilities
As an Initiator, Tejo excels at disrupting enemy formations and setting up engagements for his team. His abilities are designed to create chaos, suppress opponents, and control key areas of the map.
Special Delivery
Tejo equips a sticky grenade that adheres to the first surface it touches. When it explodes, it concusses all enemies within the blast radius. Players can opt for an alternate fire mode, allowing the grenade to bounce once before sticking, offering strategic placement opportunities.
Stealth Drone
Tejo deploys a controllable drone that can be guided toward enemy locations. Upon activation, the drone emits a pulse, revealing and suppressing any enemies in its radius. This makes it a crucial tool for reconnaissance and disrupting enemy defenses.
Guided Salvo
This ability equips an advanced AR targeting system, allowing players to fire guided explosives at two designated locations. The alternate fire mode automates targeting, detonating on impact. Guided Salvo is ideal for clearing corners and applying pressure from a distance.
Ultimate Ability: Armageddon
Tejo’s ultimate unleashes a devastating wave of explosions along a targeted path, creating destruction on a massive scale. This powerful ability is perfect for breaking enemy strongholds or forcing them into unfavorable positions.
Tejo’s Release Date
Tejo is set to make his debut in VALORANT on January 8, 2025, coinciding with the launch of Episode 10, Act 1. This update introduces new gameplay elements, including the highly anticipated EX.O. skinline inspired by futuristic and sci-fi aesthetics. Weapons in the EX.O. collection include the Vandal, Sheriff, Spectre, Outlaw, and the Katana – dubbed the EX.O Edge.
Additionally, the new Battle Pass will feature exclusive items such as the Celestia Ghost, Hieroscape Blades (Dual Melee), Moon Scout Outlaw, Scaredy Cow Gun Buddy, and Stellar Dendrite Flex. This update promises to bring a fresh wave of excitement to the VALORANT community, with Tejo at the forefront as the game’s newest and most dynamic Initiator.
