Everything we know about Veto in Valorant

The official description of Veto says:

"Empowered by an unstoppable DNA mutation, Senegalese enforcer Veto defies the rules of engagement by nullifying his opponent's powers and technology. On Veto's battlefield, gunplay is your only guarantee."

Veto's gameplay is designed to counter the ability clutter that has increasingly become a concern in Valorant. This is similar to when KAY/O was introduced in the game, with his abilities designed to nullify the effect of enemy Agents' kit.
