The Valorant patch notes for 6.05 are here as the Riot FPS game reports numerous issues with new Agent Gekko, as well as a host of other issues with Valorant Episode 6 Act 2.
There are plenty of bug fixes for the new Valorant Operator Gekko, but it seems the resurfaced issue of Gekko appearing on the minimap hasn’t been fixed yet, though thankfully it doesn’t appear to be widespread. That being said, the new Operator is getting a lot of love from Riot Games, with audio and visual improvements across the board.
