Everything You Need to Know About Valorant: Episode 3, Act 1
Riot has revealed details about Valorant’s Episode 3, Act 1, dubbed Reflection. Here is everything about Valorant’s upcoming major update, including the new Agent, the upcoming Battlepass, the Year 1 Event Pass, and the Give Back Bundle. Valorant: Episode 3, Act 1 will kick off on June 22.
Valorant’s Newest Agent: Kay/O
Riot describes Valorant’s new Agent, KAY/O, as a machine built for a single purpose: neutralising radiants. KAY/O’s abilities revolve around crippling their opponents’ capacity to fight back.
KAY/O’s abilities and hotkeys are:
- ZERO/point: Hitting E equips KAY/O with a supression blade that can be thrown. The blade sticks to the first surface it hits, winds up, and suppresses anyone caught in the blade’s explosion radius.
- FLASH/drive: Hitting Q equips KAY/O with a flash grenade which explodes after a short fuse, blinding those caught in its line of sight. Right clicking the flashbang throws a charged flash, reducing its fuse by 0.6 seconds.
- FRAG/ment: Hitting C equips KAY/O with an explosive fragment that sticks to the floor when thrown. The fragment explodes multiple times, dealing near-lethal damage at the center with each explosion.
- NULL/cmd: KAY/O’s ultimate ability, by default mapped to X, overloads the Agent with radianite energy that empowers KAY/O, and sends out large energy pulses from their location. Enemies hit by the pulses are suppressed for a short duration. While overloaded during the ultimate, KAY/O gains Combat Stim. If killed during the ultimate, KAY/O is downed and enters a destabilised state, allowing team mates to stabilise KAY/O’s core and revive them.
