How To Gift Skins In Valorant

by

In the past, there wasn’t an option for players in Valorant to exchange items through a gifting system. However, this changed with update 10.08, which introduced the feature, although it comes with certain restrictions. This guide will delve into how skin gifting operates within Valorant.

By rephrasing the original text, I aimed to make it more engaging and easier for readers to understand the context while maintaining the original meaning.

The freshly introduced gifting mechanism offers an interactive platform for players to motivate and converse with each other. Yet, at present, this functionality comes with some restrictions. Moreover, compared to simply clicking a few buttons, the process of utilizing it involves slightly more complexity.

How to Gift Skins in Valorant

Initially, it’s important to understand that players cannot give away skins they already own. Instead, you must buy the preferred skin by clicking on the ‘Gift’ option. Currently, only featured store skins can be shared with other players in Valorant. Yet, the developers plan to expand gifting options in upcoming updates.

To gift a friend in Valorant, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Store tab.
  2. Select one of the featured bundles. You can gift both a full bundle and individual skins from it.
  3. Click on the Gift button and select a player from your friends list to gift them skins.

Following that, your friend will find the skin you’ve given them in their “Valorant” in-game mail. But remember, they need to use it within 60 days or else it will vanish, resulting in a VP refund for you.

Moreover, upon receiving a present, the player is given a choice between two actions: Accept or Decline. If they opt to accept, they’ll gain some skins as a result. Conversely, if they decline, both the gift vanishes and the sender recovers their VP points.

Gifting Requirements

Keep in mind that the gifting feature within Valorant comes with certain restrictions, meaning not all players are able to exchange or receive gifts. Prior to selecting gifts from the store, ensure you meet all the following criteria:

This way, you can avoid any potential confusion or disappointment.

  • Your account must be at least level 15.
  • The player to whom you want to gift a skin in Valorant must be on your friends list for at least seven days.
  • The sender and recipient must be in the same server region.

Should all conditions be fulfilled, you will find it effortless to bestow skins on your friends or accept gifts from them in return. It is advisable to claim these gifts promptly, as they may disappear if not claimed immediately, and any unclaimed gifts will be returned to the sender.
