Learn how to effectively manage your economy in Valorant. Discover strategies for buying weapons, abilities, and managing credits to secure victory.
This guide focuses on Cosmetics in VALORANT, which are items that alter the appearance of weapons or player accounts. These include Borders, Buddies, Flex items, Player Cards, Player Titles, Sprays, and Skins. Cosmetics can be obtained through Battle Passes, Gear, and the Store, with many purchasable using VALORANT Points or unlockable with Radianite Points, Kingdom Credits, or Experience Points. Some cosmetics are time-limited, while others, like those from Gear, are permanent. Weapon skins from Store bundles can reappear in the Featured Store or Night.Market, and past battle pass accessories may appear in the Accessory Store, though these are randomized.
Players can manage their cosmetic collection by filtering owned items, unowned items, and favorite cosmetics. The Collection tab allows for equipping and changing these items. Cosmetics are often grouped into collections, some of which are available as bundles for simultaneous acquisition.
