InitiatorGekko the Angeleno leads a tight-knit crew of calamitous creatures. His buddies bound forward, scattering enemies out of the way, with Gekko chasing them down to regroup and go again.

Bought with credits at the start of a round, and lost when you die.
QEQUIP Wingman. FIRE to send Wingman forward seeking enemies. Wingman unleashes a concussive blast toward the first enemy he sees. ALT FIRE when targeting a Spike site or planted Spike to have Wingman defuse or plant the Spike. To plant, Gekko must have the Spike in his inventory.

Two of Gekko's abilities are bought with credits each round and lost on death. Dizzy is the signature ability, so it's free every round, and Thrash is the ultimate — it can't be bought at all, it charges through play.

Gekko has 4 abilities in total: Mosh Pit, Wingman, Dizzy, Thrash.
No. Gekko was added after release — only 5 of the current agents shipped with the game at launch.
Gekko has to be unlocked, like every agent beyond the starting few. You do that with Kingdom Credits earned by playing, or with VALORANT Points if you would rather not wait. Unlocking is permanent and no agent is ever sold as a stronger option — the roster is balanced, not tiered by price.
There are 7 in the Initiator role: Gekko, Fade, Breach, Tejo, KAY/O, Skye, Sova. Roles are the game's own grouping, not a community one, and they describe the job an agent does for the team rather than how strong they are.
Two of every agent's abilities are bought with credits at the start of a round and lost when you die. The signature is free on a cooldown, and the ultimate cannot be bought at all — it charges from kills, deaths, spike plants and orbs.
Gekko was added after launch. Only 5 of the current roster shipped with the game, and the agents added since tend to carry more conditional or setup-heavy abilities than the originals.

There are 29 playable agents in total, 7 of them in the Initiator role.

Interactions involving Gekko, from either side — what their abilities do to other agents’ utility, and what other agents can do to theirs.
Gekko Wingman cannot affect Sage Barrier Orb
Wingman needs a walkable path to reach a site or a player. A full wall across his route stops him like any other body — he does not climb or break it.
