The turret only has a 180 arc calm down
I’ve already posted aboutValorant’s new upcoming agent, but now she’s official. Followingan accidental leak, Riot have unveiled Killjoy in the way they meant to: with a trailer that looks like one of those commercials for stupidly expensive gadgets you don’t need. She’s a turret-packing, grenade-chucking, robot-deploying hacker who looks a bit like ex-RPS vidbud Alice Liguori.
I’m being snarky but I do quite like the trailer. And Alice Liguori.

There isn’t much new info here, but here’s the proper-official-like rundown of her abilities:
⦁ “Alarmbot - EQUIP a covert Alarmbot. FIRE to deploy a bot that hunts down enemies that get in range. After reaching its target, the bot explodes, applying Vulnerable. HOLD EQUIP to recall a deployed bot.
⦁ Turret - EQUIP a Turret. FIRE to deploy a turret that fires at enemies in a 180 degree cone. HOLD EQUIP to recall the deployed turret.
⦁ Nanoswarm - EQUIP a Nanoswarm grenade. FIRE to throw the grenade. Upon landing, the Nanoswarm goes covert. ACTIVATE the Nanoswarm to deploy a damaging swarm of nanobots.
The leaked vids still show ‘em off best. Those concerned about the turret should note how piddly it is. I will keep banging this drum until the internet accepts that turret characters aren’t inherently bad, or until I have a go and the internet is proved correct.
