New VALORANT Agent Hush enters the battlefield
With the dust settling over Shanghai, where LOUD smashed Team Vitality 3-1 in the Grand Final of Champions 2026, players are turning their attention to the future. Sure, there’s lots of esports coming our way, but we must also remember something that can shake up the meta for competitive VALORANT players.
Yes, we are talking about a brand-new Agent releasing in VALORANT this week! Agent 31, aka Hush, is releasing with the Season 26 Act VI update (v13.09) on 27 October (possibly 28 October in some regions depending on your timezone).
Hush’s Abilities, Passive & Ultimate
Hush hails from Guangdong, China, and is a Duelist. The new Agent is set to bring a unique twist with her powerful telekinetic abilities. Check out a list of Hush’s abilities and ultimate below, including short explanations so you know what to expect on the virtual battlefield.
- Telekinesis (Passive): Lets her pick up dropped weapons, grab the Spike, or interact with map switches and doors from an increased range (up to 37 meters). Picking up the Spike has a 30-second cooldown.
- Flow (C): Creates an anchor and propels her toward it. If cast while airborne, she briefly levitates before dashing.
- Flashbulb (Q): A throwable or prep-able flash that can be steered toward the crosshair mid-air and blinds players upon contact with a surface or timer.
- Displacement (E): Her signature ability; an orb that can be steered mid-air and pulls nearby players to the center upon detonation, concussing them if they hit a surface or another player. This ability resets after every two kills.
- Suspension (Ultimate / X): Costs 8 ultimate orbs to fire a steerable projectile that detonates and levitates all nearby enemies for about 4 seconds, disabling their use of weapons and abilities.
Hyped to play as Rush in VALORANT Season 26 Act VI? Of course you are, so don’t forget to jump in next week and test out the new Duelist.
