Ever wonder how to get a Riot Buddy in Valorant? If you are part of #valtwt you have definitely seen people begging for the Riot Buddy. What makes it so special? You cannot buy the buddy but have to be gifted it by a Riot employee. I have had the Riot Buddy for over two years now and I’m going to tell you my exact experience in getting it.
I’ll be honest it’s not a super complex story. Getting the buddy in general is outlined by Riot themselves saying to be a good community member and teammate. Riot employees play the game often and may gift one to you if you are simply… being a good person while playing the game.
A couple years ago I was playing ranked as usual with my friends while streaming. Playing my game, comming well, and playing to the best of my abilities as a then Plat player. After a game where we had unusually good teamwork and pulled out the win someone popped up in my stream asking for my Riot Id. I showed them and low and behold they added the Riot Buddy to my account.
So, if you want the rarest buddy of all, instead of begging streamers or people who have them, queue some games and be a good teammate. Avoid toxicity and focus on the love and fun of the game.
