Valorant’s terrifying new agent is haunting the practice range in patch 4.07
Something spooky going on here.
Valorant patch 4.07 doesn’t introduce significant agent or map balance changes, but it makes up for that with a terrifying update to the practice range.
The Valorant Protocol’s operation inTurkeyto capture the blackmailer, orAgent 20, was successful. They are now sequestered in a cell beside Brimstone’s office, where their mere presence seems to affect anyone who dares to get close.
The patch also adds an entirely new area to the range in the form of Cypher’s office. If you interact with his laptop, you can listen to a voice log of the mission in Istanbul to apprehendBounty Hunter, and it’s stuffed with additional nuggets of information about the new agent.
Valorant patch 4.07 teases what Agent 20 might be capable of
When heading down toBrimstone’soffice beneath the range, you’ll now be greeted by eerie, whispering sound effects that are pure nightmare fuel.
The voice log confirms that Agent 20 is a female Radiant, and this disruption is likely due to her being held in the cell next door. As you enter Brimstone’s office, your field of view also abruptly darkens and narrows, creating an incredibly claustrophobic effect.
Anearlier unverified leak of Agent 20’s kitrevealed abilities that can nearsight or deafen enemies, and it’s possible that this is a peek at what that would look like.
The four-minute voice log also provides further clues to her abilities. On the ground in Istanbul,Cyphernotices that there is something “trailing” them, while Breach yells about getting an unspecified creature off him.
This is likely Agent 20’s totem ability, which is reportedly a creature similar to Skye’s Trailblazer that can search for enemy agents or the trails they leave behind.
Upon engaging with their target,Neoncries out that she cannot see, andCyphertellsKAY/Othat they’re “blind in here”. This aligns with Agent 20’s nearsight capabilities and the effect she inflicts on players who enter Brimstone’s office.
KAY/O eventually has to step in, utilizing his NULL/CMD ultimate to neutralize Agent 20’s abilities.
The new agent is expected to be released during Episode 4 Act III, which is set to drop on April 26. Posters have evenpopped up in Turkey, teasing the imminent debut of the new agent, who Riot has all butconfirmed is Turkish.
