Upcoming Valorant Agent Bounty Hunter’s Kit Leaks Ahead of Release
Right after Riot Character Producer, John Goscicki released an official image teasing the upcoming agent in a blog post, a leaker revealed the description for the initiator's ability kit on Reddit.
The early gameplay screenshot was first posted on a Discord server, having then uploaded on Reddit later.
- C – Prowler: The initiator sends a creature that travels in a straight line looking for enemies AND/OR Trails. Holding fire or moving your mouse will steer the creature in the direction you are facing. When the creature finds a trail or enemy, it will move towards them. Upon reaching the enemy, it will start a 0.5s cook time and will NEARSIGHT the closest enemy for 3s. Only one Creature can latch onto a TRAIL ever.
- Q – Seize: The agent throws an orb that travels in the air for a maximum time of 1.5s until dropping to the ground. Upon hitting the ground, it will lock in place and begin to cook for 0.5 seconds. After 0.5 seconds a zone will expand out to 7m and all enemies caught will be tethered to the center. Tethered enemies suffer 75 decay damage, are deafened, and cannot escape the zone by normal means for 5s. Can be reactivated in flight to drop earlier.
- E – Haunt: The initiator equips an orb. The orb travels in the air for a max time of 1.5s until dropping to the ground. Once it hits the ground, it raises back up turning into an Eye that can be destroyed. If the Eye sees opponents, it will reveal them, applying a TRAIL debuff that lasts 12 seconds. Can be reactivated in the flight to drop the projectile earlier.
- X – Nightfall: The agent sends out a wave of dark mist. If the mist comes in contact with an enemy, they become TRAILED, DEAF, and DECAYED for 12 seconds.
Many Valorant fans believe that the screenshot is legitimate, but however, we advise taking the information with a grain of salt as the character is still in development and his kit might undergo changes upon launch. Code-named Bounty Hunter, the mysterious initiator is is speculated to release after the end of Act 4.
