Meet Gabe Kunda, the voice actor of Valorant’s new agent KAY/O

The new Valorant agent, KAY/O, is a robotic initiator introduced in the game, and Gabe Kunda is the man behind the agent’s voice.

Valorant Episode 3 Act 1 brought the game's first robot agent named KAY/O on June 22nd, 2021. Previously, Valorant agents were mostly Radiants or individuals equipped with Radiant technology. They represented different nations and cultures from all over the globe, but that's not the case with KAY/O.

KAY/O is a machine of war that aims to neutralize the radiants. The robotic agent carries the ability to suppress enemies. This puts the allies at an advantage by resisting the opponent’s abilities to fight back.

Allow me to introduce you to one of the baddest bots I have ever had the pleasure of vocally powering up…KAY/O!!!!Thank you so much @PlayVALORANT for the opportunity. I wish I could hug all of you but I’d probably squeeze ya to death!!🤣 #TimeToKillSomeRadiants 🎙❤️🤖 LETS GO! pic.twitter.com/PXFLoPOCAV
