In order to celebrate the end of the first episode of Valorant, Riot Games will reward players with a small token of gratitude for participating in Episode.<\/p>\n

All players who play ranked will be reward with the EP1 Gun Buddy, which will be different depending on your rank when players’ Act Rank locks on 11th January.<\/p>\n

Once Episode 1 Act 3 ends and your Act Rank locks, you will find out which version of EP1 Gun Buddy you’ve earned.<\/p>\n

Your Gun Buddy will be based on the highest Act Rank you got during the entire three Act Episode. So If you got Gold 3 in Act 2 but just Bronze in Act 3 you will be awarded a Gold Gun Buddy,<\/p>\n

The Gun Buddy will be available soon after Episode 1 Act 3 ends.<\/p>\n

Besides rewards for Season 1, Riot Games shared first details on what changes players can expect to see in Valorant ranked to come in 2021.<\/p>\n

Developers state that they know how much players hate toxic behaviour and promise they are working on implementing systems that will help solve issues with AFKers\/INTers and will make some significant changes in regards to in-game penalties for disruptive behaviour.<\/p>\n

They will also work on making things easier for players who don’t use voice chat, by implementing “more informative non-verbal communication” which might mean adding a more advanced ping system, but they didn’t share more details about it.<\/p>\n
