When diving into Valorant’s fast-paced tactical world, Valorant Points (VP) are your golden ticket to cosmetics, skins, battle pass upgrades, and agent unlocks. But before loading up your account, it’s worth understanding how much these points actually cost, where to get them safely, and how to make the most of your purchase.
🔹 What Are Valorant Points (VP)?
Valorant Points (VP) are the game’s premium currency. They’re used to purchase:
Weapon skins (from simple designs to animated masterpieces)
Battle Pass upgrades
Agent unlocks and contract tiers
Radianite Points (used to upgrade your skins with flashy effects)
Unlike other in-game currencies like Kingdom Credits or XP, Valorant Points can only be bought with real money.
