Valorant Agent 27 Tejo: Abilities and everything we know so far
Riot GamesRiot has already started teasing Valorant’s Agent 27 – who we now know as Tejo. So, here’s everything we know about the new character.
When Valorant was first released in beta, Riot Games dropped 10 Agents for players to use in their first-person shooter. The unique abilities are the big selling point versus rival games like Counter-Strike, with players building compositions to match up against their opponents.
Over time, a host of new Agents have been added. In total, Valorant now has 26 Agents to choose from, with new ones typically getting big reveals during Valorant Champions events.
As we enter 2025, more details have started to emerge about Agent 27. So, we’re going to summarize everything we know so far – including official teasers, leaks, and what else you might need to know.
Who is Agent 27 in Valorant?
For a while now, Riot has been dropping cryptic hints about the new mysterious character via short teasers. Leaks have pointed out that Agent 27 will be Tejo, an Initiator who originates from Colombia.
On December 9, 2024, we were given a short teaser showing the new Agent leaving their post and jumping out of an aircraft.
Fans have been quick to make a few judgments based on the video, especially its title – ¿quiubo, VALORANT? This is Colombian slang and translates to What’s up, Valorant?
Add in the Pan De Leche and coffee on the table, and we can safely say this character is Colombian. The first South American Agent since Raze, who was, of course, a part of the initial set of Agents.
Another teaser was shared on January 3, 2025. Other than the bright corridors, it’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on – but keen-eyed fans have spotted one interesting detail in the clip, which is none other than a small creature appearing briefly on the screen.
Now, the teaser revealed on January 4, 2025, was slightly different than the previous ones. This time, we’re shown what appears to be part of the Agent’s kit. Based on the clip, it appears that he is able to fire a missile from his arms.
As we get closer to the Agent’s release, Riot has dropped yet another teaser on January 6, 2025, to elevate the hype. Titled “UNO,” which means “ONE,” the two-second clip showed off the silhouette of the Agent walking on a rooftop in a vibrant-looking city.
Users in the comments were quick to deduct where the location is based off, which is Bercy, France. It’s likely that this is where the first teaser took place, considering that corridors that appear to be inside a cathedral can be seen.
Then, at last, we got our best look at Tejo in the Season 2025 reveal trailer.
Valorant Agent 27 abilities
In terms of abilities, Tejo, had one teased that showed him firing a missile. That has now been confirmed as his Ultimate – Armageddon.
Tejo’s Ult will allow players to call in an orbital strike that creates a wave of explosions through the strike path.
As for his other abilities, Tejo will have a tactical drone that can scout for enemies and suppress them. He will also have a sticky grenade too.
- Special Delivery: Equip a sticky grenade and press fire to launch it. The grenade sticks to the first surface it hits and explodes, concussing any targets caught in the blast. You can alt fire to launch the grenade with a single bounce instead.
- Stealth Drone: Equip a stealth drone. Fire to deploy the drone forward and assume direct control of its movement. Fire again to trigger a pulse that suppresses and reveals enemies hit.
- Guided Salvo: EQUIP an AR targeting system. FIRE to select up to two target locations on the map. ALT FIRE to launch missiles that autonomously navigate to target locations, detonating on arrival
- Ultimate – Armageddon: Equip a tactical strike targeting map. Fire to select the origin point of the strike. Fire again to set the end point and launch the attack, unleashing a wave of explosions along the strike path.
It will be interesting to see how the Agent will be able to shake things up once he arrives in the game in Episode 10 Act 1 on January 7 or 8, depending on your region.
