VALORANT: 15 Frequently Asked Questions Answered

Whether you’re new to VALORANT or a seasoned player, chances are you have some knowledge gaps. To make your life easier, we’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked questions into a handy guide.

To start playing this incredible hero shooter, head over to the official VALORANT website and follow the “Play for Free” instructions. To do this, install the Riot Games launcher and sign up for a Riot account if you don’t already have one. To play on console, go to the system store page and search for VALORANT.

VALORANT Points can be spent on new Operators, cosmetics, weapon skins, and more. But how to get and is it possible to get free VALORANT points? They can only be purchased with real money in the in-game store, so be wary of anyone offering you free VALORANT points, it’s most likely a scam.

Riot Games uses a universal username across all of its games, including VALORANT, League of Legends, and Teamfight Tactics, among others. You can change your Riot ID by logging into your Riot account, but you can only do this every 90 days.

If you’re new to VALORANT, you may have heard of the term “remake.” No, the game is not based on a forgotten IP address, but rather refers to a mechanic that allows the game to be restarted if the player quits the game. To activate the remake, open the game chat and type the phrase “remake”. Next, your teammates will have to vote on whether the game should be remade or not. To prevent players from taking advantage of this feature, there are very specific conditions that must be met for it to become available.

You can customize your reticle in VALORANT, and making it more visible will help you improve your game. To change the default grid layout, go to the Settings menu and enter the Display section. Here you can change the sight settings to your liking. You can also copy a crosshair in VALORANT, so if you see a player using a crosshair you want to try, a simple command will allow you to copy it. While viewing the player, open the chat window and type “crosshair copy” or “cc” and the crosshair layout will appear in the crosshair drop-down menu under Settings > Display.

If you want to take a break from PC gaming, you can uninstall VALORANT by making sure the Riot Games client is closed (you may have to exit the program drawer) and then searching for VALORANT in the Windows search bar. To delete all files, go to This PC > Hard Drive > (Username) > Games > Riot Games and delete the VALORANT folder. On consoles, you can remove a game from your system game library.

If you don’t want other players to see how much time you’ve spent in VALORANT, you can hide your account level by editing your player card. In-game, go to the Collections tab, click Player Cards, then go to the Banners and Level Borders tabs. In the “Level Boundaries” tab, you should see a box that says “Show my account level on my player card.” Uncheck this option and only your friends will be able to see your level.

If you want to send a message to another player without everyone in the game seeing it, you can send a private message “whisper”. To do this, open a text chat and press CTRL+Enter to open the “whisper” window. Enter the player’s name, then enter your message and press Enter to send it.

Higher frame rates mean smoother gameplay and can even help you achieve more wins. The FPS you achieve depends on the power of your computer, but you can optimize your video settings to increase FPS. In the Graphics Quality tab, try changing some of the graphics settings to medium or low and disabling features such as sharpening, experimental sharpening, blooming, distortion, and shadow casting. Closing other programs running on your PC and updating your graphics drivers can also help improve FPS.

Graffiti are graffiti-like tags that can be applied during VALORANT stages. They don’t add any benefits to the game, but are ideal for self-expression while playing. Press the T key to use a spray or hold it down to access the wheel of available sprays.

Unfortunately, VALORANT has not yet been ported to Mac computers. However, you can use a third-party application to install Windows on your Mac and then install VALORANT using this method.
