Valorant Points: What They Are, How to Buy Them, and What to Spend Them On

Valorant Points (VP) are the premium currency in Valorant. They are used to purchase cosmetic items, the Battle Pass, and certain other in-game items. Unlike Credits, which players earn during matches, Valorant Points are account-bound and purchased with real money. In this guide, we’ll explain what Valorant Points are, how to buy them, how to top up your Valorant Points in Russia, and exactly what you can spend this premium currency on. 

Valorant Points are Valorant’s premium currency. They are abbreviated as VP and are used in the in-game store. Players use VP to purchase cosmetic items and unlock the paid Battle Pass.

Valorant Points do not provide a gameplay advantage. You cannot use them to buy more powerful weapons, agents with enhanced abilities, or other items that affect the game’s balance.

You cannot earn Valorant Points by playing matches, completing challenges, or leveling up. Riot Games does not give them away for free in the game. The main way for Russian players to obtain this currency is by purchasing it with real money through third-party vendors or using Riot gift cards.

Sometimes Riot runs promotions and giveaways, and some content creators hold contests with gift cards as prizes. However, there is no consistent way to farm Valorant Points for free within the game.

There are several ways to buy Valorant Points: through the game client, Riot Games gift cards, or third-party sellers who offer digital top-up codes. For players in Russia, the latter option remains the most popular way to purchase VP.

You can use Valorant Points to purchase:

None of these items affect weapon stats or character power. All purchases in the Valorant store are purely cosmetic.

The cost of a skin depends on its tier (Basic, Enhanced, Premium, Unique, or Ultra); the most expensive ones can cost around 10,000 VP. Many players will be able to find something unique and beautiful for themselves for around 1,000 rubles; skins with higher rarity are intended for collectors and “investors.”

The cost of VP may vary depending on the region and the reseller. Approximate prices listed on various platforms:
