What Is VP in Valorant?

What Is VP in Valorant?

VP stands for Valorant Points, the paid currency in Valorant. It buys weapon skin bundles, the battle pass, agent unlocks and Radianite Points, it cannot be earned by playing, and like Riot Points it is tied to the region the account was created in.

How does VP work in Valorant?

VP is added to your Riot account and spent in the in game store, which rotates four skins daily plus a featured bundle on a longer cycle. That rotation is the important mechanic: you cannot simply buy the skin you want, you wait for it to appear, and premium bundles leave the store after their window with no guaranteed return date.

VP also buys Radianite Points, the separate currency used to upgrade skins with animations, finishers and variants. That two currency structure is why a premium bundle's real cost is higher than its sticker price, and it is a common reason players compare store pricing against Valorant Points and bundle listings before committing to a full collection.

How does VP affect your account value?

Nothing bought with VP affects gameplay, since every item is cosmetic. Account value is another matter: rotated out bundles, retired battle pass skins and limited edition collections cannot be repurchased, so a long standing account carries cosmetics that no amount of VP buys today.

Rank is the multiplier on top of that. A full collection on an Iron account and the same collection on an Immortal one are priced very differently on the accounts marketplace, which is why a Valorant rank boost is frequently ordered alongside a collection rather than instead of one.

VP vs Radianite Points: what is the difference?

VP is bought with money and buys the skins themselves. Radianite Points are bought with VP and upgrade skins you already own, unlocking animations, kill banners and colour variants. A premium bundle therefore has two costs: the VP for the skin and the Radianite for the levels, which is why the advertised price of a collection is rarely the price of the finished version of it.

FAQ

Can you earn VP for free in Valorant? No. Valorant Points are purchase only, and the battle pass rewards Radianite Points rather than VP.

Does VP transfer between regions? No. The balance is tied to the region of the account, and it does not follow an account transfer.

Do skins bought with VP ever come back to the store? It depends. Standard bundles rotate back eventually, while limited edition and event collections often leave permanently once their window closes.
