Player cards in Valorant are not only a great way to decorate your gaming profile and show off to allies and enemies, but also a tool for developers to introduce exciting new features into the game. Currently, there are 533 different cards available, but not all of them are accessible to regular players. Among the entire list, there are unique cards that were issued for certain achievements or were part of a limited collection. Today, the Bo3 editorial team has prepared for you a list of the rarest, most interesting, and unusual player cards in Valorant, so our readers can learn what unique accessories could be earned.
Arcane Jinx Card
Opening our list is an interesting and unique card created during a collaboration between Valorant and another Riot project, League of Legends. Specifically, this Jinx, depicted on the card, refers us to the animated series based on LoL, Arcane, where the heroine plays one of the key roles. This card could be obtained through a Prime Gaming subscription, but in 2024, Riot Games stopped collaborating with Amazon, so it's unlikely that this card will appear in another subscription or for sale.
V Protocol Card
Although the presence of this player card in our list may raise some doubts about its uniqueness, its history is quite interesting. To obtain the V Protocol Card, you only need to complete the initial contract for beginners, and one of the first rewards will be this card. However, it appeared in the game a long time ago, during the closed beta test. At that time, it was also called V Protocol and was received by players who participated in the testing, which took place from April 7 to May 28, 2020. Later, the card was removed from the game, after which the developers reintroduced it as a reward for the newcomer contract.
Versus Deadlock + Gekko
The next card cannot be called the rarest or unique, but it is part of the Versus series and one of the best. There are quite a few Versus series cards in Valorant, and they depict the confrontation between two agents, maps, or weapons, like Vandal versus Phantom. The Versus Deadlock + Gekko card attracts the most attention because it depicts two agents who appear one after another. It also features a humorous comparison where Deadlock is fighting a bear, while Gekko celebrates with his Wingman.
Prime Card
The speciality of this card lies in the fact that it was released along with the first set of skins in Valorant, the Prime set, which was released in June 2020. Skins in Valorant are one of the most important cosmetic aspects, and the first set deserves special attention, just like the card that was part of it.
Premier Beta and Premier Beta Champions Card
Next, we have two pairs of cards, which are grouped because they relate to the Premier mode and are visually very similar. Players who participated in the open beta testing of the mode from April 25 to May 21, 2023, had the opportunity to obtain them. The Premier Beta card could be received simply by finishing one match, but sometimes a bug occurred where you didn't even need to create a team, and the card was issued automatically. On the other hand, obtaining the Premier Beta Champions card was much more difficult. For this, players needed to pass the qualifying stage and become the champions of the main tournament.

Pride Card
Another set of cards listed together is the Pride sets. The sets themselves are dedicated to Pride Month, and their special feature is that they can be obtained completely free of charge, without spending real money or in-game currency.
Art of Greatness Card
Equally significant are the cards dedicated to the first world championship in Valorant - Valorant Champions 2021. They appeared in the game along with other content from the Champions 2021 Collection, which included a unique skin for Vandal and a melee weapon, Karambit. They exist in three variations: Inspiration, featuring Sage; The Flame, featuring Phoenix; and Unbreakable with agent Brimstone depicted. Like the skins mentioned above, the player cards from this collection were limited, so it is not possible to purchase them after the championship ended.
Also, during the championship, players had the opportunity to receive another card, Art of Greatness // Champions Card. It was issued for free to all those who logged into Valorant on November 23, 2021.
Luie Card
A unique but sad player card, created as a farewell memory of a professional player. In early 2023, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck Turkey and Syria. Unfortunately, it took the lives of many people, including the professional Valorant player, Gizem “Luie” Harmankaya. To honour her, Riot Games added the Luie Card to the game, as well as the title "Gizem," named after the deceased esports athlete.
VCT Push Up
Next, we have another card dedicated to a major Valorant tournament, but this time it stands out for its playful component. During Masters Madrid 2024, fans of the Paper Rex team were very enthusiastic about supporting their favourites. The spectators were so eager for a victory by the Singaporean tops that they decided to share their energy with them. For every round won, they did 10 push-ups, and as a result, they managed to perform over 400 push-ups. This fan enthusiasm inspired Riot Games, which is why they created the VCT Push Up card, symbolizing the first major tournament in 2024.
Chrysalis Card
The last card on our list is not unique either, but at the time of its release, it acted as a hidden teaser for a new agent. It's no secret that Riot Games often announces new content in Valorant through cosmetic accessories, and the Chrysalis Card is one such. At the time of its announcement, data miners and insiders revealed that this card is a hidden teaser for the new agent, Clove, which was later confirmed by the developers. The connection with the last agent can also be seen through the butterflies depicted on the card.
Conclusion
After reading our material, you have learned about the interesting and unique player cards that exist in Valorant. Note that this is just a small part of the variety of accessories, so in the future, we will make a second part, where we will tell you about other unusual player cards in Valorant.
