The 12th Valorant agent goes by the name of Killjoy. After yesterday’s leak, the new character for Riot’s hit shooter is becoming a little more specific, because apparently his abilities are already known.
First the easter egg, then the leaks . The next Valorant agent goes by the name of Killjoy and apparently has a penchant for turrets. Here’s everything we know about Killjoy, who is likely to be coming to the game with Valorant Act 2.
Everything we know about Valorant Agent Killjoy
Valorant fans have been looking forward to the release of the 12th agent for a while. Voicelines, animations and the Easter egg found yesterday pointed to the agent from Germany . Thanks to an info page on the official Valorant website that has since been deleted , we now know more.
The page titled “Enter Killjoy” gave us the skills of agent number 12 and offered space for some YouTube videos – which were still missing. On the site, Killjoy spoke up himself, the text read:
“Ok Brimstone, I read your beginner’s guide. All you had to say was: get me on your team!”
Maybe Killjoy should have read our Valorant guides too ? Regardless, here are Valorant Agent Killjoy’s skills.
Killjoy’s skills
Killjoy appears to be a classic turret-using FPS character. Roughly comparable to Torbjörn from Overwatch. Just a little bigger and obviously not quite as bearded – a pity.
He has several abilities in which the agent lays out traps and weapons – including a powerful turret that rotates 180 degrees and an ” alarm bot “.
The descriptions of Killjoy’s skills shouldn’t find their way into the game either, as they are written from his perspective.
Ability 1 (C) – Alertbot
Equip a bot that hunts nearby enemies that come within range.
When your killer robot friend achieves his goal, boom. Not only does Alarmbot deal damage, all targets briefly take double damage from any source. Hold down the button to retrieve the dispatched bot.
Ability 2 (Q) – Turret
Sometimes it’s good to plant a few roots. Set up a turret that targets enemies in a 180 degree radius. Hold down the button to dismantle the turret again.
With the turret one area can be held alone pretty well while the colleagues cover and protect other areas.
Signature Ability (E) – Nanoswarm
Throw a grenade. When she lands, it gets quiet. Then activate the Nanoswarm to unleash a damaging swarm of Nanobots and marvel at the crying enemies. Brilliant trick!
Ultimate (X) – Lockdown
The timing of the wind-up has to be right, but once the device gets going it locks down all enemies in its radius for about 8 seconds. Yes, enemies can destroy it – unless you build a lot more of it.
Sounds pretty interesting for our taste. However, it is still unclear when Killjoy will find his way into Valorant. But since some gameplay clips have already made it onto social media, it probably won’t be long. Valorant Episode 2 Ignition could start as early as August 2nd.
OVERWATCH 2 – A VISUAL EVOLUTION
Overwatch 2 takes the world and gameplay to a new level: the environments are more dynamic, the battles are more comprehensive, improved effects and shadows enrich the atmosphere in the game. You will be immersed in the story of Overwatch in gripping events. All heroes will get a completely new, even more detailed and authentic look in Overwatch 2.
The five best Overwatch skins
As really cool – so you could title the new Overwatch skins. Because Blizzard Entertainment has really put a lot of effort this time and gifted the community with new cosmetics.
The OverwatchEcent Archives is in full swing. And once again, it takes us back to the original Overwatch team that used to fight in the streets of King’s Row against the rebellion started by the Null Sector. We also remember eight years ago when we took control of Blackwatch, a terrorist organization bent on destruction. But besides all the nostalgia, there’s something else that makes this event: the Archives skins. Here comes the top 5 of the best Cosmetics.
5th Place: Zarya’s “Workout.”
Giving us a bit of workout reality is Zarya’s “Workout” skin at #5. At a young age, Zarya identified a lot with athletics and here she shows that she’s a tough woman. But we honestly expected something more from the professional weightlifter. Still, the skin turned out quite nice.
4th Place: Roadhog’s “Militia” Look
Blizzard has done a good job of mixing the scout and military outfits, so Roadhog’s “Militia” skin lands in 4th place. We especially love the patches attached to the dungarees, but this skin isn’t as colorful and fancy as, say, other skins in the ranking. For that, it gets a solid 4th place.
3rd place: Junkrats “King Jamison
Majestic and bold in 3rd place is Junkat’s “King Jamison” skin. After being banished from Junkertown by the queen, he’s back and presents himself as a real eye-catcher that the queen would be jealous of. We were taken with the golden leg, but so much potential was lost with the rather plain shirt. That’s why Junkrat only makes it to number 3.
2nd place: Pharah’s “Aviator” style
Lieutenant Fareeha “Pharah” comes flying in at number two, in a stunning look that should wow anyone. The aviator sunglasses plus jetpack give her a thematically badass appearance that still makes her look cool and beautiful.
1st Place: Ana’s “Sniper” Skin.
Ana breathes new life into us with her “Sniper” skin and is unrivaled our No. 1 spot. During the Omnic crisis in her earlier years, Ana slayed the Omnics in this color stunning outfit. Her red scarf, headset and many other smaller accessories add the finishing touches to the skin that have us excited.
We’re excited to see when and with which skins Blizzard will wow us again. For more info on Overwatch and everything else about the world of Esports and gaming, check out Early Game.
