Wasteland 2.0 Bundle
The Wasteland 2.0 bundle features a melee weapon with a standout design, while the rest of the guns have a more generic look. Each weapon costs 1275 VP.
New Agent: Veto
The new agent, currently known as Veto, is a Sentinel with a focus on suppressing enemies and denying information. His backstory hints at West African origins and genetic mutations granting extraordinary combat powers, breaking conventional rules on the battlefield
Veto’s abilities
C Ability (200 credits): Deploy a ball of energy that can be reactivated to teleport to its location while looking at it. Functionally similar to Chamber’s rendevous
Q Ability (200 credits): Throws a mutated slime trap that deafens and corrupts enemies passing through. Enemies can destroy it before it activates
E Ability / Signature (100 credits): Deploys a device that destroys enemy projectiles and bounces. Likely two devices can be active at once
Ultimate (7 points): Transform into a fully mutated form with combat enhancements and regeneration, immune to most negative effects, making you extremely hard to kill
Veto appears designed to deny the enemy team utility and information rather than gather intel passively like a traditional Sentinel. His kit encourages aggressive control of map space and counters enemy strategies
3v3 Game Mode: Skirmish
Valorant’s leaked 3v3 game mode, named Skirmish, will allow players to practice gunplay in small-scale matches. Key details include no spike, only kills. First to 10 rounds wins. Can be played solo or in teams. Three maps are confirmed, with speculation that previously leaked smaller maps are intended for this mode. It is unclear whether abilities will be enabled or restricted
This mode provides a new way to play outside traditional 5v5 competitive or unrated matches, focusing purely on combat mechanics
3D Assets and Menu Updates
Riot is updating textures and menu visuals for sprays and gun buddies. While not game-changing, these enhancements aim to refresh the in-game interface and improve the cosmetic experience
Valorant players have multiple new features to look forward to: the Sentinel agent Veto, the 3v3 Skirmish mode, and the Wasteland 2.0 bundle. While official confirmation is pending, leaks and in-game files suggest these updates will expand gameplay variety and provide new strategies for both casual and competitive players
