Valorant Agent 29 Veto: All Abilities & Release Date

The duelist meta is about to be shattered. Valorant’s new agent, Veto, has been officially revealed by Riot Games, promising to introduce a completely new style of aggressive, tactical entry into the game’s roster. Set to launch with Episode 10, Act 1, this agent is designed for players who love to outsmart their opponents before out-aiming them. This complete breakdown covers Veto’s official release date, a deep dive into his entire ability kit, and an expert analysis of how he will fundamentally reshape competitive play from Iron to Radiant.

Who is Veto? Riot’s New Duelist Explained

Riot Games has confirmed that Veto, the 29th agent to join the Valorant Protocol, will be a Duelist focused on site control and information denial. The developer’s announcement on November 17, 2025, positions Veto as a direct answer to the hyper-mobile meta dominated by agents like Jett and Raze for the past three years. Instead of pure movement, Veto’s power lies in his ability to disable and disrupt enemy utility, creating unique pathways for his team to execute a site take. He is designed to be the ultimate “anti-utility” fragger, forcing enemies into raw aim duels.

The core details confirmed by Riot Games are:

• Agent Number: 29
• Role: Duelist
• Codename: “Suppressor”
• Expected Release Date: Concurrent with the launch of Episode 10, Act 1 (early January 2026).

Veto’s Full Ability Kit

Veto’s arsenal is built around suppressing enemy abilities and creating safe passage. His kit forces opponents to rely on their mechanics rather than their utility. From my analysis, his abilities will be devastating in post-plant scenarios and for breaking open heavily fortified sites like Haven’s C or Split’s B site. The kit includes an ability-silencing orb, a projectile-destroying field, and an ultimate that creates a massive dead zone for enemy utility.

How Veto Will Change the Competitive Meta

The introduction of Veto is a calculated strike against the current state of competitive Valorant. For months, the meta at higher ranks (Ascendant+) has revolved around coordinating utility to support a fast-dashing Jett or a satcheling Raze. Veto disrupts this entire formula. His ability to create “null-utility” zones means that a team can no longer rely on a perfectly placed Sage slow or Killjoy turret to stop a push. Instead, defenders will be forced into more direct confrontations, shifting the balance of power towards teams with superior aim and crosshair placement. This change will be felt across all levels of play, forcing players to rethink default setups and common strategies that have been ingrained for over 15 patches.

Prepare for Veto: Optimize Your Performance

The arrival of a meta-defining agent like Veto means every competitive player will be scrambling to master his kit or learn how to counter it. Mastering his complex utility requires hundreds of hours of practice, but none of that strategic knowledge matters if your game’s performance is compromised. Executing a perfect site take with Veto, only to be stopped by a sudden lag spike or FPS drop, is the most frustrating way to lose a crucial round. Your mechanical skill and strategic thinking demand a flawless technical foundation to truly shine.
