0

Valorant recently announced Gekko, the newest addition to Valorant’s agent pool. Gekko belongs to the Initiator class which depicts special skills which allow the agent to plant//defuse the spike using his wingman, jumping off walls, and further detecting enemies. The Agent’s pet aids him in gathering vital information during a round, giving his squad a leg up on the opposition. 

At the VCT LOCK//IN 2023, Gekko was revealed to the public on the main stage for the first time ever. In addition to Gekko’s reveal, VCT held a showcase match between Team Tarik and Team FRTTT using the upcoming Agent on the day of the finals. 

VALORANT’s community manager, Jo-Ellen Aragon, took to Reddit to detail the 6.05 update. Gekko’s aural and visual effects have been updated, and he’s gotten a tweak to his Q that makes more sense and improves his performance a little.

The forthcoming VALORANT patch 6.05, which will improve the game in both gameplay and visuals, naturally centers on the new agent. After the update goes live, the explosions in Mosh Pit (C) will no longer bear the generic sound.

Jo-Ellen’s Reddit post provides the complete patch details, which are as follows:

Agent updates

Gekko

  • Wingman’s (Q) Plant and Defuse targeting has been improved in order to target higher locations.

Audio Improvements

  • Added audio variations for Mosh Pit’s (C) explosions
  • Audio improvements for Dizzy’s (E) plasma blasts, which will help you easily identify if it’s flying towards you or towards an ally while in the air

VFX Improvements

  • Added VFX to when Gekko is reclaiming an orb, as well as when the globule reclaim is complete
  • Improved visuals for enemy creature globules
  • Improved performance in Agent Select

Performance updates

Added “CPU Wait GPU Time” metric to performance settings in order to help players track when their machines are Render Thread bound.

The Patch 6.05 Public Beta Environment testing will kick off on March 16 followed by the Patch 6.07 PBE which begins on March 31. 

PBE activities are usually done around the weekends as they conclude the following Monday by around 1 PM Central. Only selected individuals from North America can participate in PBE to avoid latency and reduce costs.

PBE is an opus by Riot, used to filter out bugs in their future patches ahead of their actual release. By opting into the PBE servers, players are able to get a sneak peek at future updates before they’re officially introduced to the live servers. 

Players will be able to test new maps and play new agents before they are shipped to the game and report any bugs they encounter along the way to the developers’ team.

Esports and Gaming Companies Take a Hit in Wake of Silicon Valley Bank’s Collapse

0

The sudden closure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has caused chaos for many startups and venture capital (VC) firms that had accounts with the bank. Some companies are now facing the possibility of going bankrupt if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) fails to act swiftly. Here’s what we know so far about the situation:

VC Funds Pull Investments, SVB Shut Down

After several large VC funds told their investors to withdraw their investments from SVB, the US and UK divisions of the bank shut down. This move had a significant impact on the startup world since SVB “banks nearly half of the 2022 US venture-backed technology and life science companies,” according to the company’s financial highlights presentation for Q4 2022.

SVB’s announcement that it would sell $1.25 billion USD of common stock and $500 million of depositary shares shocked the market. In addition, SVB revealed that it had lost about $1.8 billion in Q1 2023 due to the selling of its “available for sale securities portfolio,” which included approximately $21 billion in security funds.

FDIC Freezes Withdrawals, Companies in Limbo

The FDIC froze withdrawals and closed SVB’s branches, leaving companies with accounts in limbo. This situation comes at the worst possible time for businesses that deal with SVB since payroll and other costs are rapidly approaching.

VCs Urge Clients to Withdraw Funds, Triggering Bank Run

When VC firms like Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and Coatue Management urged their clients to withdraw their funds on Thursday afternoon, it triggered a bank run that ultimately led to FDIC intervention.

SVB’s Total Deposits

Of SVB’s total deposits of $173.1 billion as of December 31, 2022, $151.5 billion were uninsured in its US offices, and $13.9 billion were held in overseas branches. While that is in line with FDIC rules requiring an insured deposit ratio of 1.35%, startups and VCs with accounts at SVB were worried about liquidity, fueling the bank run.

Los Angeles-based Esports Organizations Unaffected

In a report published by Esports Advocate, Several Los Angeles-based esports organizations have no ties with SVB in terms of business and other trades. FaZe Clan, Sentinels, Immortals, and TSM have stated that they currently do not have any business deals with SVB. However, Cloud9 and 100 Thieves are yet to comment on the situation.

Fate of SVB’s Donation to SoLa I CAN Foundation Uncertain

The fate of SVB’s $300,000 donation to the SoLa I CAN Foundation’s Technology and Entrepreneurship Center “powered by Riot Games” remains uncertain. The Los Angeles-based minority-owned and -operated social impact fund, the nonprofit affiliate was awarded the funding in January.

Casual Mobile Games Developer Dealt with SVB

Games2Win, an Indian tech giant that received $6 million in a Series B investment headed by Clearstone Venture Partners in 2011, also dealt with SVB. The business, which has been around since 2007, offers a wide variety of casual games and boasts more than 15 million monthly users. The full amount of the company’s damage from SVB’s collapse is yet unknown.

The sudden closure of SVB has created chaos in the startup and VC world. While some companies have no ties with the bank, others are now facing bankruptcy if the FDIC fails to act swiftly.

CS:GO Hits 1.4 Million Concurrent Players Amid Rumors of Source 2 Update

In an exciting turn of events, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) has once again broken its previous record of concurrent players. The new record, standing at 1,420,183, has surpassed the previous record of 1,320,219 players.

This increase in player count can be attributed to the rumors of the Source 2 update, which have been circulating within the game’s community.

The Rumors Surrounding Source 2 Update

In early March, rumors about ‘CSGOS2’ started spreading when references to the term were discovered in NVIDIA driver updates. It has led to a flurry of speculations in the community, with eSports journalist and analyst, Richard Lewis, adding his voice by claiming that the update is forthcoming. The rumors of the update seem to have piqued the interest of players, leading to a significant surge in player count.

CS:GO’s Popularity

CS:GO has always been a popular game, with a committed player base, and its popularity has only continued to grow over the years. In 2020, the game saw a peak of around 1,300,000 concurrent players due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing number of people staying at home. However, the recent rumors have seemingly caused a surge of interest in the game, leading to an increase in player count.

The Future of CS:GO

It’s unclear when the update will arrive, but there are signs that it could be in the near future. Valve has been releasing blog activity updates, which suggests that the update is in progress. As for other games on Steam, no other game comes close to CS:GO’s numbers. Although games like DOTA 2 and PUBG: Battlegrounds have seen significant all-time numbers, they have never reached the consistency of CS:GO.

The new record of concurrent players for CS:GO is a remarkable achievement, which has been brought about by the rumors surrounding the Source 2 update. It remains to be seen when the update will come, but it’s safe to say that CS:GO’s player count will continue to rise. With no other game matching CS:GO’s numbers, it’s clear that the game’s popularity is here to stay.

How Does Gekko’s Wingman Perform Against Other Valorant Agent Abilities?

0

Valorant recently announced Gekko, the newest addition to Valorant’s agent pool. Gekko belongs to the Initiator class which depicts special skills which allow the agent to plant//defuse the spike using his wingman, jumping off walls, and further detecting enemies. The Agent’s pet aids him in gathering vital information during a round, giving his squad a leg up on the opposition. 

At the VCT LOCK//IN 2023, Gekko was revealed to the public on the main stage for the first time ever. In addition to Gekko’s reveal, VCT held a showcase match between Team Tarik and Team FRTTT using the upcoming Agent on the day of the finals. 

Gekko’s Wingman or Q ability, which he can use to scout for enemies or place and defuse the spike, is one of the more interesting features of his arsenal. Wingman’s movement is unidirectional, but it interacts with other agents’ powers in unique ways.

Learn how Gekko’s Wingman complements other skills and how it can be used to your advantage in this guide. Freelance Valorant commentator and analyst Tombizz provided all interaction details used in this article.

Here’s a rundown of what Gekko’s Wingman talent actually does:

Wingman (Q) – Ability

This companion can bounce off walls and detect enemies in a specified zone, stunning them. Additionally, players can use this ability to plant or defuse the spike. When the companion expires, it transforms into an orb that can be picked up. After use, the ability goes into cooldown and can be reused again.

Deploy the Wingman into the air to scan for danger. If an enemy is detected, Wingman will launch a triangular blast at the very first enemy it sees.This would concuss the enemy.

If you want to plant the, or have Wingman defuse one that has already been planted, press the ALT FIRE button. When Wingman’s time runs out, he transitions into a blob that can be recast after a brief delay.

Valorant’s Wingman and its Interactions with Other Agent Abilities

Sage’s Wall and Wingman

Sage can set up a barricade that gets stronger after a few seconds with the help of her barrier orb. It’s useful for keeping foes away and making room for a variety of friendly vantage points. When a Sage wall stands in the way of a Wingman being sent into a site to place or defuse a spike, the Wingman will simply smash through it.

Cypher’s tripwire and Wingman

Cypher’s tripwire can be easily destroyed and can be hidden from plain sight. A tripwire usually draws a line between its anchor point to the opposing surface which is most of the time a wall that tethers enemies upon getting triggered and leaves them concussed for a short period.

If a wingman passes over through a tripwire, it is able to continue forward and break the wire without any concussions although it would get retracted. 

Killjoy’s turret, alarm bot, and Wingman

Gekko’s Wingman is never ever attacked either by Killjoy’s turret or the alarm bot. Killjoy’s turret always attacks an enemy when in sight, and so does the alarm bot trigger when someone’s in the vicinity. Similarly, Wingman does not set off the Alarm Bot as he passes by.

Lockdown: Wingman vs. Killjoy

Killjoy’s ultimate ability is Lockdown, which contracts to hold all foes within its range. However, Wingman is completely immune to the Lockdown and can enter a site as the Lockdown is ending, meaning that the little pet is not detained while he is trapped in the ultimate spell. This can be a game-changer when it comes to sowing in the final seconds.

Gravity Well Wingman × Astra

Astra’s Gravity Well can be a perfect counter for Gekko’s wingman as her Gravity Well would draw the wingman to the center and would make it extremely vulnerable. Your opponents can take advantage of this scenario and prevent the spike from being set by the Wingman.

Like any new agent, Gekko is expected to be a meta-defining initiator. It is anticipated that Riot Games’ newest agent will live up to the company’s reputation for producing game-changing characters.

FAQ

Q. Who is Gekko in Valorant? 

A. Gekko is the newest addition to the Valorant Agent roster, and we’ve already seen brief teaser videos and images that hint at their role and reveal their unique Abilities ahead of their official reveal.

Q: Will there be a new Battle Pass for Episode 6 Act 2?

A: Yes, there will be a new Battle Pass for Episode 6 Act 2. The Battle Pass will likely include new skins, sprays, player cards, and other cosmetic items that players can earn by completing challenges and playing the game.

Indus Battle Royale: Olympic Pistol Shooter Heena Sidhu to be a Playable Character

0

India-based game developer SuperGaming has announced a partnership with the Olympic pistol shooter Heena Sidhu. She will be a playable character in Indus Battle Royale, the Made-in-India battle royale game.

The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) has ranked Heena Sidhu as the top pistol shooter in the world. She is also the first Indian to win gold at an ISSF World Cup finals competition.

Heena, a character whose in-game biography plays a key role in Indus’ universe and whose deeds have made her a living legend, is the outcome of this partnership. In Heena Sidhu’s actual life, she had to defy expectations in order to not only transform her passion for photography into a profession but also to be the finest in the world.

I was surprised to see an Indian game studio take so much care and attention to detail, especially in terms of shooting and gun play and how all of it translates into Indus. It’s something I noticed as an athlete and an avid gamer, which made collaborating with SuperGaming all the more easier.
Indus’ Heena has the right aspects of my attitude and personality. I hope you’ll enjoy playing as her as much as I had fun working with SuperGaming to bring her into the game.

Heena Sidhu

Heena, a character whose in-game biography plays a key role in Indus’ universe and whose deeds have made her a living legend, is the outcome of this partnership. In Heena Sidhu’s actual life, she had to defy expectations in order to not only transform her passion for photography into a profession but also to be the finest in the world.

SuperGaming also made Mor-in-game Ni’s avatar, which is Heena Sidhu, known. The origin of Mor-Ni, who is cherished as a folk hero among the Yaksha, the sentient species that formerly named Indus their home, is related to the game’s narrative and was hinted at in a previous video.

Making of the Heena character

At SuperGaming, we take the term ‘putting India on the global gaming map’ seriously. Heena’s track record of excellence speaks for itself with putting India on the global map for shooting, this made collaborating with her the obvious choice.
Mor-Ni is an expression of India’s rich history with a look into the future. The initial thought was trying to answer how Indian culture, such as the well-established, recognisable symbols like the Indian peacock and Indo-fashion elements would look like from the lens of Indo-Futurism, while being highly inspired from the idea of creating a strong female character that exudes elegance, glamour, pride, and confidence.

Roby John, co-founder and CEO of SuperGaming

When Indus Battle Royale debuts, both Heena and Mor-Ni will be playable. With pre-registrations on the App Store for iOS and iPadOS to follow, you can pre-register for Indus right now on the Google Play Store if you are an Android user. If you pre-register early, you’ll get special gifts that will make your time at Indus uniquely yours.

Henry Cavill is rumored to play Captain Price in the upcoming Call of Duty movie

0

The entertainment industry is always seeking to adapt popular video game franchises into successful movies, and Call of Duty is no exception to this rule. The franchise has been the subject of rumors surrounding a potential movie adaptation for years, with Amazon Studios recently acquiring Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for a staggering $8.45 billion and now making significant progress on the project.

According to recent reports, one of the franchise’s central characters, Captain John Price, is set to be portrayed by none other than Henry Cavill, the talented actor known for his impressive performances in movies and TV shows.

Who is Captain Price?

First appearing in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, this character has garnered immense popularity and a massive fan following due to his leadership qualities and unyielding attitude. In the 2019 soft reboot of the Modern Warfare series, Captain Price was brought to life by Barry Sloane, who provided the character’s voice and motion capture. Captain Price has also made appearances in other Call of Duty games set during World War II.

What Are The Rumors?

Rumor has it that Henry Cavill, an avid gamer who has expressed interest in appearing in the TV adaptation of Red Dead Redemption, is currently in talks to play the role of Captain Price in the upcoming Call of Duty movie. The film will likely be set in a contemporary setting, marking a significant departure from the character’s earlier appearances in the franchise.

Why Henry Cavill is perfect for the role?

For starters, his gaming enthusiasm makes him an excellent fit for the part. Additionally, his impressive acting skills make him more than capable of bringing Captain Price to life in a way that will satisfy Call of Duty fans and leave them eagerly awaiting more.

With the potential addition of Henry Cavill to the cast, the Call of Duty movie is looking more promising than ever before. As long as the studio delivers a compelling script and high-octane action sequences that do justice to the franchise, this film has a good chance of becoming a blockbuster hit.

Counter-Strike 2: Rumored Leaks Discovered in Dota 2 Update

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement over the potential release of Counter Strike 2, as rumors continue to circulate on the internet. Recent leaks and datamining have revealed that Valve, the game’s developer, has been actively testing the new engine, and fans are eagerly anticipating its arrival.

New Leaks and Discoveries

On March 1, prominent leaker ‘Gabe Follower’ tweeted about new executables “csgos2.exe” and “cs2.exe” being supported by NVIDIA drivers. This led to renewed speculation about the release of the Source 2 engine for CSGO. Only a few days later, a Dota 2 update included text strings referencing the port of CSGO into Source 2.

The leaked data includes case keys, spray kits, maps, player models, and a new operation. These exciting new additions are sure to keep Counter-Strike fans engaged and entertained.

Counter-Strike 2: A New Game?

While Valve is expected to release the Source 2 update under the name of ‘Counter-Strike 2’, it’s unlikely that it will be an entirely new game. Instead, the game will feature significant improvements over the current version of CSGO. This means that players can expect to keep their weapon skins and other cosmetics from the current version of the game.

What to Expect from the Source 2 Upgrade?

While Valve has yet to make an official announcement about the CSGO Source 2 update, leaks and rumors have provided insight into what players can expect. The most significant change will be the addition of 128-tick servers to matchmaking, a feature that has long been requested by the community. In addition, matchmaking improvements will ensure that players are matched with and against players of similar skill levels, creating a fairer and more enjoyable gaming experience.

With an engine upgrade comes the promise of visual improvements to the game. While players are excited about the potential for better graphics and smoother gameplay, there are concerns about whether the upgrade will make the game more resource-intensive and less accessible to those with lower-spec systems. However, the community remains optimistic about the update, and eagerly awaits further information from Valve.

The potential release of Counter Strike 2 has the gaming community buzzing with excitement. With recent leaks and data mining revealing new information about the upcoming Source 2 upgrade, players are eagerly anticipating what improvements and additions will be included in the new version of the game. While Valve has yet to make an official announcement, the community remains hopeful and eagerly awaits further news.
