With two patches already rolled out for VALORANT Episode Seven, Act Two, Riot appears decided to steadiness all of the maps, brokers, and talents to perfection. However, based on followers, there’s a extra necessary focus: buffing everybody’s favourite little sidekick, Wingman.
A latest submit within the VALORANT group gained consideration for a unusual suggestion that, along with planting and defusing the spike, Wingman also needs to have the ability to resurrect KAY/O when he falls in his final.
Although the original post may have been made in jest, different gamers chimed in that it will be cool to see Wingman have the ability to work together with extra objects than simply the spike.
As of proper now, agent Gekko’s right-hand man can solely actually work together with the spike. He can carry it to a set vacation spot on any website and plant the bomb, and can be deployed to defuse it. Wingman can be used with out concentrating on the spike in any respect, and can run and growl in direction of an enemy to reveal their place.
Total, he’s a enjoyable little man who has shortly develop into a fan-favorite character for everybody who performs VALORANT.
At VCT Champions 2023 in Los Angeles, for instance, the group cheered each time a participant despatched their Wingman ahead to plant a spike. It doesn’t matter what workforce you’re rooting for, how might you presumably cheer towards Wingman when he’s clearly doing his finest?
But many VALORANT gamers clearly assume it will be enjoyable if Wingman might do even extra.
Apart from with the ability to resurrect a fallen KAY/O mid-round, a number of different gamers commented {that a} extra real looking buff for Wingman might permit him to open doorways.
A number of VALORANT maps embrace doorways that may be opened and closed with levers, switches, or by taking harm. If Wingman might push a button or pull a lever, you possibly can save one physique in your workforce from taking the time to open the door.
The most important challenge with this concept is Wingman makes a signature sound when he walks. He mumbles a bit to himself and in addition has squishy-sounding footsteps. Subsequently, it will be apparent to the opponent that an actual particular person wasn’t truly working the door.
That’s, if Wingman was tall sufficient to succeed in stated buttons and levers.
“It’d be fascinating what the interplay mechanics can be; does he do his regular Wingman factor and stun enemies on his strategy to the swap, or does he must be locked into the motion like for bomb planting?” one player commented.
Even when Wingman doesn’t get buffed, he’s positive to nonetheless be a beloved ally for VALORANT gamers in every single place.
