In the free shooter game Valorant, there are numerous ways to decorate your profile and your weapons. You can obtain cosmetic items either by investing real money or for free. However, what unites these two methods is the currency. It's through currency that players have the opportunity to purchase items, regardless of whether the currency was earned through gameplay or converted using real money. Understanding all the nuances of currency in the game can be difficult, so today, the Bo3 editorial team has prepared material for you, where we will tell you about all the existing currencies in Valorant and the ways to obtain them.
Valorant Points
The first and most important currency in the game, unfortunately, can only be obtained by spending real money. Valorant Points are used to purchase all premium content in Valorant. They can be used to buy weapon skins, and collection sets which include skins, keychains, player cards, and graffiti. Moreover, with VP, you can purchase discounted offers during the Night Market event, as well as upgrade your battle and event pass to the premium level to receive more rewards. Additionally, you can buy new agents with Valorant Points, although this is not the primary method, and characters can also be unlocked for free using other currencies.
How to Get Valorant Points?
As mentioned earlier, the primary way to obtain Valorant Points is by using real money. You need to go to the currency page in the game, choose a method of payment, and the amount you plan to buy. Note that conversion rates differ for each region, so check the price in your area first. Furthermore, various online services offer gift cards of different amounts, which can be used to purchase Valorant Points not only for yourself but also as a gift for a friend or loved one.
Although the main way to get VP is by purchasing them with real money, there are also several free methods. These are mostly limited and only operate during large events by Riot, like Valorant tournaments and others. Read more about the free ways to get Valorant Points below.
Kingdom Credits
The second well-known and important currency in Valorant, which appeared in the game relatively recently with the start of Episode 7 codenamed EVOLUTION. The emergence of this currency is directly related to the game's lore, where Kingdom Credits are created by the eponymous organization Kingdom Corporation based in Alpha-Earth. With the introduction of the currency, Riot Games revamped some in-game aspects, including the purchase of agents. Now, you can buy new characters with Kingdom Credits, each costing 8,000KC. Additionally, you can obtain store content such as graffiti sprays, game titles, cards, and weapon keychains with this currency.
How to Get Kingdom Credits?
The main way to obtain this currency is free, and it involves simply playing Valorant. Kingdom Credits are automatically awarded to players participating in matches in any of the available modes. For example, in Unrated, Competitive, Swiftplay, and Premier modes, players receive 2 KC for each round played, and if it was a winning round, they receive 4 KC. Consequently, if an average match lasts 18-20 rounds, players will earn 40 or more KC, depending on the number of rounds won. You will also receive KC for completing daily tasks, with 150 for each checkpoint. There are four checkpoints available each day, so you can earn 600KC in one day.
Another 2,000 Kingdom Credits can be obtained by levelling up each agent. Upon unlocking their own pass, one of the rewards will be KC. It's available at level 5 for each agent. Note that there is a limit for this currency, and you cannot have more than 10,000KC on your account, so remember to spend your currency before completing tasks.
Radianite Points
The third and last currency in Valorant, which many consider controversial, and some players even doubt its utility. Radianite Points are used only to upgrade weapon skin levels. For example, if you purchased the Sentinels of Light set, the skins in the set have four upgrade levels. Radianite Points can be used to unlock new sound accompaniments, weapon inspection animations, and finishing effects. Due to the minimal functionality of this currency, players have mixed feelings about it. At the end of 2020, Riot Games considered the possibility of expanding the range of what could be purchased with RP and adding keychains and other accessories. However, as can be seen today, they have abandoned this idea, so as of 2024, the currency is used only to enhance skins.
How to Get Radianite Points?
There are very few ways to obtain this currency, as well as its uses. First and foremost, Radianite Points can be acquired after upgrading the battle pass. Each pass offers RP rewards ten times in the premium version and 2-3 times in the free version.
Radianite Points can also be purchased and exchanged for another paid currency, Valorant Points. For this, you need to go to the currency section and then choose the amount you want to exchange. Considering that Valorant Points are mostly a paid currency that needs to be bought with real money, it is clear that this method of obtaining Radianite Points is also paid.
