The new Initiator Agent Fade went live in the game with the introduction of Valorant patch 4.08 last week. The Turkish Agent is the 19th one to join Valorant's roster. Players and content creators have already started to experiment with the new Initiator in the game.

Prior to the latest patch, Sova was the only recon-heavy Agent in the game. However, to give him a bit of competition in terms of pick rate, developers have finally introduced a new Agent named, Fade. This Initiator can also hunt down enemies by utilizing her Haunt (E) ability.
