Perhaps the best – known cosmetic in VALORANT is practically unattainable for most gamers out there…

The Riot Games logo is displayed beneath the emblem on the Riot “Fist Bump” pistol buddy in somewhat a red hue. Players are not provided with the option of attaining the gun buddy from the store, a battle pass, or the Night Market. The setting emphasizes on its importance as one amongst the rarest goods in the game.

Only a Riot developer or VALORANT team member can offer the player a gun buddy to enable them for usage. But it’s simpler said than executed.  In a game, players need to look for an operator and act like “good sports.”

“We frequently offer them to players who are inherently excellent sports and make the game enjoyable for their mates”, the statement was given from a member of Riot’s internal play programmes, who made this statement in August 2021. However, Riot made it clear in July 2022 that “positive contact with a Riot employee, and only Riot workers,” was the sole way to earn the reward of Riot pistol buddy.

Moreover, Riot stated that because each Riot employee only has a certain number to distribute amongst all, “asking a Rioter for the Gun Buddy (honestly) diminishes your chances” of receiving one. Riot also provided a serious warning that no Riot official ever would attempt to trade you one and that you shouldn’t believe anyone who makes such an offer.

However, directly contacting Riot’s employees on Twitter and liking with them, there, won’t improve your chances. The one and only “surefire” method to obtain it is to engage in a game with a Riot member and show excellent conduct. Being pleasant and acting with excellent sportsmanship in every game you participate in will increase your chances. It is because many Riot members really don’t identify themselves as Rioters in-game. It’s not that difficult.

“Riot gun buddy” is prohibited to be handed to other players, even in circumstances when they have been donated to another player or community member.
