Valorant offers a variety of cosmetic items that can enhance your gaming experience. However, these items often come at a premium price. This article explores several methods to obtain Valorant Points (VP) at a lower cost or even for free in 2024.
Unofficial Valorant Point Store
One way to potentially save money on buying Valorant Points is by using unofficial VP stores. These platforms act as marketplaces where players can buy and sell their excess points or unused codes.
How it works:
- Players with surplus VP or codes list them for sale
- Buyers can purchase these points at potentially lower rates than official channels
- Transactions typically occur through the platform
Always research thoroughly and proceed with caution when choosing an appropriate store if you choose this method.
Amazon Prime Day Deals
For those who don't mind waiting for specific dates, Amazon's Prime Day can offer significant savings on Valorant Points.
How it works:
- Wait for Amazon Prime Day (usually in July)
- Look for Valorant Point gift cards or codes
- Take advantage of the 20% discount
Example: During Prime Day, you might be able to purchase $100 worth of Valorant Points for only $80, saving you $20.
Microsoft Rewards Program
Microsoft Rewards offers various ways to earn points that can be redeemed for gift cards, which can then be used to purchase Valorant Points.
How it works:
- Complete daily tasks on the Microsoft Rewards page
- Maintain a streak for bonus points
- Use Bing for web searches (both desktop and mobile)
- Engage with Microsoft products and services
Key features:
- Daily tasks and quizzes
- Streak bonuses
- Search points (desktop and mobile)
- Special offers and promotions
Example: Your family member might have bought a keyboard from Microsoft which could have gotten you free 1000 points on the account already.
Strategies to maximize Microsoft Rewards:
a) Daily Tasks:
- Bookmark the Microsoft Rewards page
- Complete the 3 daily tasks consistently
- Don't skip the "2 minute quiz for 30 points" and "daily polls for 10 points"
- Look out for occasional 50-point quizzes
- Set a daily reminder to avoid breaking your streak
- Streak milestones offer bonus points (e.g., 105 points for a 34-day streak)
c) Efficient Searching:
- Create a bookmark folder with multiple movie pages for quick searches
- Open 30-35 movie tabs daily for easy points
- Use developer mode to switch to mobile view for additional mobile search points
- Check the Edge homepage for daily point offers (10, 30, or 50 points)
- Play two exercise videos in the health section for 40 points
- With practice, you can earn 250-350 points daily in just 2-3 minutes
Bing Rewards Program
Similar to Microsoft Rewards, Bing Rewards offers its own rewards program that can be leveraged to earn points redeemable for gift cards.
How it works:
- Use Bing as your primary search engine
- Earn points for searches and other activities
- Redeem points for gift cards
- Use the gift cards to purchase Valorant Points
Tips for maximizing Bing Rewards:
- Use Bing with the Edge browser for additional points
- Change your default search engine to Bing in other browsers
- Use Bing on your mobile device as well
- Connect your Microsoft account to Bing to track your rewards
Valorant Fan Art Submissions
For those with artistic talents, Riot Games offers a unique opportunity to earn some Valorant Points through fan art submissions.
How it works:
- Create original Valorant-themed fan art
- Submit your artwork to Riot Games
- If accepted, receive a small amount of VP as a reward
Details:
- Rewards typically range from 10-50 VP
- This method is best used when you're just short of a purchase
- It's not a reliable method for earning large amounts of VP
While Valorant's in-game prices may seem high, these methods offer alternatives to acquire points without full-price direct purchases. Remember to use these strategies responsibly and in compliance with Riot Games' terms of service to avoid any risks to your account. Happy gaming and may your aim be true!
