Mosh Pit
Gekko Ability: Mosh Pit | #VALORANT

This ability allows Gekko to equip a green gecko that you can throw to create a molly pit, which resembles Viper’s Snake Bite quite a bit.
However, unlike any other existing molly in Valorant, Mosh Pit covers a huge area that deals damage over time. Good luck planting or defusing the Spike when there is a Gekko in the opponent team.
Wingman
Gekko Ability: Wingman (Q) | #VALORANT
FIRE to send Wingman forward looking for enemies. If an enemy is found, Wingman fires a concussive blast in a triangular shape to the first enemy seen.

This is the most bizarre of all his abilities by far. Activating Wingman shows you a straight-line trajectory and once you use the left click, a yellow gecko of yours will move forward in that line.
Here comes the catch. And I am not kidding when I say this is quite literally the best Wingman you will find during playing Valorant. On attack, the gecko will take the Spike from you and plant it at the end of the line when sent toward the site. And, on defense, it will start defusing the planted Spike, while you hold angles and cover it.
Dizzy
Gekko Ability: Dizzy (E) | #VALORANT
FIRE to send Dizzy forward into the air. Dizzy charges up and sends out beams at enemies in their line of sight. When enemies are hit, they are blinded.

Activating Dizzy will make you equip a blue gecko that you can throw in the air.
Once it reaches its peak and gets charged up, it will shoot blue beams toward anybody in its vision. The players hit by the beam will get flashed for a bit of time and taking advantage of this situation will help you enter sites. Studying the beams will help you know how many enemies are there and also where they are.
Thrash
Gekko Ultimate: Thrash (X) | #VALORANT
FIRE to control & link with Thrash to steer her. FIRE while in the Ultimate to lunge forward and explode, detaining any enemies within their radius.

Gekko’s ultimate allows you to link up with a purple gecko and control it for a limited time.
If used properly, you can leave multiple enemies detained. And the best part about this ability is that if you were unable to find anybody, the gecko turns into a glob. Even though you can do it once, you can go and pick it up to use it again later.
