All Tejo Abilities
Tejo ability
As mentioned before, Tejo is an initiator; his role is to push and defend the bombsite and deny access to the site to the enemy; on the other hand, while attacking, an initiator’s job attack is to help dualists enter the site with their abilities. Here is a breakdown of Tejo’s abilities:
Special Delivery
How it works: Equip a sticky grenade and press fire to launch it. The grenade sticks to the first surface, hits it, and explodes, concussing any targets caught in the blast. You can altfire to launch the grenade with a single bounce instead.
Stealth Drone
How it works: Equip a stealth drone. Fire will 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
How it works: Equip an AR targeting system and fire to mark up to two target locations on the map. Use alt-fire to launch missiles that automatically home in on the marked spots and detonate upon impact.
Tejo Ultimate: Armageddon
How it works: Equip a tactical strike targeting map. Fire to mark the starting point of the strike, then fire again to set the endpoint and initiate the attack, triggering a series of explosions along the designated path.
What is the impact of Tejo on VALORANT’s meta?
It might be too soon to determine the impact of Tejo on the current meta and how much it would change. Still, looking at his utility kit, this agent is one of the strongest sentinels in the game, and his impact will be huge if played correctly. Tejo is the type of Sentinel that likes to disrupt and control the situation and will likely shift the meta towards more tactical gameplay, emphasizing positioning and timing.
