Everything You Need To Know About Valorant in 2024

VALORANT is an amazing game, but it can feel a bit overwhelming if you’re not starting out. Let’s take a look at a few of the most common questions new players and even veterans might have.

How to Download VALORANT

To start playing VALORANT, visit the game’s official website and follow the prompts under the "Play for free" section. This will involve downloading the Riot Games launcher and creating a Riot account if you don’t have one. If you're playing on a console, just go to the console’s store, search for "Valorant," and follow the download instructions.

How to Change My Name in VALORANT

Your Riot ID is used across all Riot Games titles, such as VALORANT, League of Legends, and more. You can change this ID every 90 days by going to your Riot Account settings and making the necessary updates.

What is a Remake in VALORANT?

In VALORANT, a "remake" is a feature that lets players restart a match if someone disconnects early in the game. To initiate a remake, type "remake" into the chat, and your teammates will vote on whether to restart the game. Just be aware that specific conditions need to be met for this option to be available, so it can’t be exploited.

How to Unlock New VALORANT Agents

After using the starting agents in Valorant, you’ll probably want to unlock the rest of the roster. You can boost your collection of agents by using Kingdom Credits earned in-game, participating in recruitment events, or purchasing agents with VALORANT Points.

How Do I Get VALORANT Points?

VALORANT Points are the game’s premium currency and can be used for unlocking agents, skins, and cosmetics. These points are bought with real money from the in-game store. Be cautious of any claims about free VALORANT Points as they’re usually scams.

How to Uninstall VALORANT

If you need a break from VALORANT, you can uninstall it by first closing the Riot Games client, then searching for VALORANT on your PC. Right-click the icon and select "Uninstall." To fully delete all game files, navigate to This PC > HDD > [Your Username] > Games > Riot Games, and remove the VALORANT folder with Shift+Delete. You can uninstall games from your console via the game library.

How to Use Sprays in VALORANT

Sprays let you express yourself in-game, though they don’t affect gameplay. Press the "T" key to use a spray, or hold the key to bring up the spray wheel and choose from your collection.

How to Hide VALORANT Account Level

If you’d rather keep your time spent in Valorant private, you can hide your account level. Head to the Collections Tab, click on Player Cards, then navigate to Banners and Level Borders. Uncheck the box that says "Show my account level" to keep your level hidden from others, except your friends.

How to Boost FPS in VALORANT

Boosting your FPS (frames per second) in Valorant can make the game run smoother and improve your overall experience. Adjust settings like "Improve Clarity," "Bloom," and "Cast Shadows" under Graphics Quality to lower or disabled settings. Also, updating your graphics drivers and closing background apps can help further boost FPS.

How to DM Players in VALORANT

To send a private message to another player, open the chat window and press CTRL + Enter to enter whisper mode. Type the player’s name, followed by your message, and hit enter to send a direct message without others seeing it.
