Valorant’s Act III is currently in full swing and is rumored to end in January. The next agent to join the team is reportedly Shatter. Here’s everything we know about him.

Riot’s tactical shooter is currently in the Christmas spirit, much like many other games. Valorant has unveiled two new weapon bundles with different skins for the holidays. Slowly but surely, Act III is coming to an end and the conclusion is expected sometime in mid-January. The current act is a bit longer than the previous ones we’ve seen, but that’s easily explained by the time of year.

Shatter as the next agent?

The last agent to join the list of playable characters in Valorant was Skye. She was generally well received by the community. So, who’s next? Apparently, it could be Shatter.

In a recent blog post, the Valorant developers revealed that the next agent will take on the role of Duelist.

That said, we wanted to sneak some insight into the future here. The year will tear open with a Duelist for all you “lurkers” out there, who will keep you on your toes around which angles are truly safe.

Data miners have already uncovered some images in the game files that show what Shatter might look like.

We’ll probably get to see more of Shatter during WWFest. This is a digital music festival and the result of a partnership between Amazon and Riot Games.

Shatter’s abilities

We already know that Shatter will be a Duelist. Agents currently defined by this role include Jett, Phoenix, Reyna and Raze. They either have great mobility or abilities to deal high damage. Whether Shatter will follow this pattern remains to be seen.

According to rumors, the new agent will have an Ultimate that can clone him. The decoy can then explode and deal damage, while another ability could make his steps silent. If that’s the case, he’ll play very differently than the other four Duelists we mentioned. Instead of a direct approach, Shatter players may have to rely on stealth and flanking more than any other agent.

To be perfectly equipped for the next session, you should take a look at the Logitech G533 – with it you’ll hear every enemy instantly.

Agents are the playable characters in Valorant. Each agent belongs to one of four possible classes and has four abilities. In addition, almost every agent represents a country.

There are nineteen agents in total, although in the earliest versions of the game there were only eight. The rest were added gradually.

There are four different classes: Duelist, Initiator, Controller, and Sentinel.

Agents have one Signature Ability which they get free of charge each round.

The riot was meaning to send off the game with 12 agents, however, just 8 were accessible in the early press constructs. On March 29, 2020, a confidential occasion presented Breach. Since the Closed Beta send-off on April 7, 2020, Raze was added alongside the guide Split, bringing the Agent complete to 10. Five agents are accessible at the first send-off, with two more that can be effortlessly opened by stepping up in the game. More agents can be opened by taking Contracts and assembling XP on them.

Agents have base well-being of 100; Light Shields carry the most extreme well-being to 125 and Heavy Shields to 150.

It is the goal of the designers that another specialist be delivered around once per act. New agents require 12-15 months to create, and their plan is engaged around focuses, for example, what’s absent from the game’s current playstyles, are there any imminent thematics that present large open doors, and what’s required for better game wellbeing.

Roles

Every specialist satisfies one of four jobs, characterized by their capacities and playstyle:

• Controller agents are specialists in cutting up perilous domains to get their group in a good position.
• Duelist agents are independent fraggers who their group anticipates, through capacities and abilities, to get high frags and search out commitment first.
• Initiator agents challenge points by setting up their group to enter the challenging ground and push safeguards away.
• Sentinel agents are protective specialists who can secure regions and watch flanks, both on assailant and protector adjusts.
