Valorant Patch 6.06 Notes: Gekko nerfs, bug fixes and more

Valorant’s next minor patch 6.06 brings some minor nerfs to Gekko, changes to the doors on Lotus and bugfixes galore.

Riot’s incredibly popular tactical shooter Valorant has recently received its newest agent Gekko. However, that isn’t stopping Riot from bringing out a few new changes to improve the quality of life of the game, as well as fix a couple of pesky bugs in the process.

Patch 6.06 brings some minor changes to Gekko, resulting in a small nerf to his kit overall. Gekko has already overtaken ranked lobbies as one of the most powerful initiators to be added into the game, so hopefully these nerfs won’t affect him too much.

Valorant Update 6.06: Gekko changes and Lotus door changes

Riot is making a couple of changes to Gekko to keep his kit standard with the other agents. Gekko’s Mosh Pit is having its damage reduced particularly to objects, reducing from 2.5x to 1x damage, similar to other mollys.

Alongside this, Wingman is being ticked down ever so slightly, as the little critter will sadly pass away if he is the last one alive. Furthermore, a bug fix to Wingman means he can no longer concuss intangible players, so Reyna mains can rejoice.

With that being said, here are the full patch notes for Valorant patch 6.06.
