Unleash fuego skills with Tejo: A VALORANT Agent Guide
Strike down your foes from afar with ease using our Tejo VALORANT agent guide!
Tejo is a VALORANT initiator hailing from Colombia comes equipped with an arsenal of disruptive tools catered towards tactical players that thrive on control and coordination. Tejo's toolkit is designed to flush out entrenched opponents, gather critical information, and create openings for his team to capitalize on. His abilities make him a disruptor who can break defensive setups, create space for his team, and punish poorly coordinated enemies.
Tejo’s signature ability, Guided Salvo, disrupts enemy positioning and denies area control as he deploys missiles in two different target locations. These missiles deal damage over multiple pulses, allowing players to prevent opponents from pushing the objective or flushing them out of any unfavorable positions. Meanwhile, Tejo comes equipped with a Stealth Drone and a unique sticky grenade ability called ‘Special Delivery’. The Stealth Drone is a controllable drone that remains invisible at long range. Upon activation, it can emit a pulse that both suppresses and reveals enemies within its area of effect. Special Delivery adheres to the first surface it contacts and then explodes, concussing enemies in the blast radius.
Lastly, Tejo’s ultimate ability called, “Armageddon”, opens up a tactical strike map for them to select a starting point and direction for an airstrike. Once confirmed, a series of explosions is unleashed along the chosen path, forcing enemies to reposition or suffer significant damage. Armageddon can single-handedly secure pivotal rounds by denying large zones and forcing unfavorable engagements for the opposing team.
01
Guided Salvo (Signature)
Guided Salvo serves as Tejo’s signature ability and provides a high-impact method of area denial. Utilizing an augmented reality targeting system, he can mark up to two locations on the map for missile strikes. These missiles autonomously navigate their way to the designated spots, dealing damage over several pulses upon arrival. This ability is a tactical asset for disrupting enemy formations and clearing contested areas.

To maximize the effectiveness of Guided Salvo, you should focus on targeting common post-plant positions, defensive strongholds, or areas where enemies are likely to stack. Its ability to force opponents out of cover makes it a critical tool during site retakes or to secure map control in tight scenarios. Coordination with teammates is vital, as well-placed missile strikes can corral enemies into kill zones, amplifying their impact. Familiarity with map layouts and common enemy positioning will greatly enhance the strategic application of this ability.
02
Stealth Drone
During early rounds, the Stealth Drone is an essential tool for gathering intelligence and suppressing enemy utility.
When deployed, the drone is invisible at long range, making it an excellent option for scouting without being immediately countered. As it approaches enemies, it becomes visible, adding a layer of counterplay for opponents. The drone emits a pulse that suppresses enemy abilities and reveals their positions to your team. This combination of suppression and reconnaissance is a game-changer in scenarios where information and utility denial are key.

The best case use of the Stealth Drone involves deploying it at the beginning of a round to gather information about enemy positions, particularly in choke points, valuable spots, or high-traffic areas. Its suppression pulse can neutralize enemy defenses, paving the way for site executes or disrupting coordinated pushes. However, you must be mindful of the drone’s visibility range; once detected, it can be easily destroyed by alert opponents. For maximum effectiveness, communicate the drone’s use with teammate pushes to capitalize on the chaos it creates.
03
Special Delivery
Special Delivery equips Tejo with a sticky grenade that adds a layer of tactical flexibility to his kit. Upon activation, the grenade can stick to the first surface it contacts, exploding after a short delay to concuss all enemies within its radius. An alternate fire mode allows the grenade to bounce once before sticking, enabling creative approaches to bypass obstacles and target enemies hiding behind cover.

This ability excels in displacing entrenched enemies, forcing them to reposition or face severe disadvantages in gunfights. Timing is crucial when deploying Special Delivery, as it can disrupt enemy setups during a site take or halt their advances in a defensive scenario. For anyone looking to optimize their use of the grenade, practicing angles and bounce mechanics in custom games can significantly enhance its utility. When paired with coordinated team pushes, Special Delivery can create windows of opportunity that swing the momentum of a round.
Mid-round, the versatility of Special Delivery and Guided Salvo enables Tejo to control key areas of the map and disrupt enemy strategies. Combining or alternating the use of these abilities can mix up the dynamic of the map, allowing you to dictate where your opponents can or can’t go. Using the Guided Salvo to deny areas and forcing the opponent to rotate to a new position that holds your Special Delivery is a great way of isolating the enemy team, for example.
04
Armageddon (Ultimate)
Tejo’s ultimate ability, Armageddon, is the pinnacle of his disruptive kit. By accessing a tactical strike map, Tejo can select a starting point and direction for an airstrike. Once activated, a series of explosions cascades across the chosen path, dealing significant damage and creating chaos among enemy ranks.
The strategic potential of Armageddon lies in its ability to force enemies to reposition or suffer devastating consequences. Whether used to clear a site during an execution or to stall a retake, the airstrike can dramatically shift the dynamics of a round. This allows Tejo to create space for him and his teammates to clear up sitelines, objectives, or paths. It can also scramble your opponents and flush them out of their positions or to bait them into a specific path for you. Communication is key when deploying Armageddon; ensuring that teammates capitalize on the disarray it causes can lead to round-defining plays.
