The holiday season can get a little overwhelming with so many gifts to pick, though there are some things any Valorant fan would love.
Riot Games is one of the most successful gaming companies. While it was already dominating the MOBA market with League of Legends, it released the FPS Valorant and still found success in the extremely competitive market. Today, many fans log in to Valorant daily to play as their favorite agents. Thanks to Valorant’s popularity, many fans would love to get gifts based on it, but which gifts are ideal?
Here are some of the best ideas for Valorant gifts to give loved ones this holiday season.
The best Valorant gifts for the holidays range from in-game cosmetic items to physical merch.
Like most free-to-play games, Valorant has a battle pass players can purchase to get a range of in-game goodies. Players can stack their battle pass levels by playing the game and gathering experience, allowing them to get skins, avatars, sprays, and more.
Every act has a new battle pass to purchase. Thanks to this, buying someone’s battle pass as a gift would make any Valorant fan’s day. Bonus points if the receiver plays the game a lot since they’ll likely max out the battle pass in no time.
The Valorant battle pass costs 1,000 Valorant points, the equivalent of $10, so it won’t set most people back too much. It’s also much cheaper than buying most skins while giving more value, especially to those who actively play Valorant.
Skins play a huge part in Valorant. From weapon skins to melee skins, many players use these in-game cosmetics to personalize their experience and how others view them. However, Valorant doesn’t have a proper skin-gifting feature yet, even if that might change soon.
Waiting for Riot to add the gifting system might mean the holiday season passes by. Fortunately, gifting Valorant gift cards to fans is an excellent substitute for skins. Just purchase a gift card and give the physical card or its code to the receiver so they can buy the skin they want.
The best thing about this gift is that it’s personalizable. Some Valorant skin bundles cost over $50 while some individual skins can be acquired for less than $10, especially during the regular Night Market sale event. This ensures the gifter doesn’t miss the required amount by gifting Valorant points equivalent to a specific skin or bundle’s cost.
Valorant has a diverse and distinct cast of playable characters called agents. From the quick Neon to the mysterious Omen, every Valorant fan has one agent they like more than others. Make that agent more memorable for a Valorant fan by gifting them merchandise based on them.
The game has a wide offering of merchandise, from mini agent figurines to gorgeous artwork based on one or multiple Valorant agents. Consider the receiver’s taste and aesthetic before deciding on the perfect merchandise gift. Those who don’t know where to look can always check out the official Valorant merch store. The store has everything, from clothing to keychains and statues based on Valorant agents.
