Unlock Tejo Agent Gear in Valorant
The V25 Act 1 will bring Tejo and his abilities right away, but you must unlock him first. Like other new agents in Valorant, Tejo will be available for unlock immediately through 1,000 VP. However, if you are not planning to spend any real currency, you can play the Agent Recruitment Event and unlock Agent 27. To complete the event, you will need 200,000 XP in total. You can play more games and complete dailies or weekly quests to farm XP faster.
The event will stay in the game for a limited time, so make sure you complete it before it is over. After the event expires, you can still claim Tejo for free in Valorant using the Kingdom Credits. Collect a total of 8,000 Kingdom Credits and spend it to unlock Agent 27. Once you unlock Tejo, you can also get his agent gear. Here is a list of all the Tejo items you can unlock:
