How Can You Add Friends in Valorant?
Adding friends in Valorant is pretty easy and is crucial if you’re looking to invite someone to your party in order to queue up some games with them. While you can add anyone you wish in the game, keep in mind that the Riot Client allows you to have only 325 friends. After you’ve got 325 friends, you’ll need to unfriend someone in order to add someone else in Valorant, so don’t just go adding everyone who sends you a friend request.
Here’s how you can add friends in Valorant:
- First, launch Valorant. When your game is running and the main menu has loaded, hover your mouse on the right side of the screen, and you’ll see a sidebar that can be expanded. This is where all your friends will appear.
- Once expanded, go to the bottom, and you’ll see a plus sign (+). Click it, and then you’ll see two text fields appear at the bottom. One will be to input your friend’s game name or Riot ID, and the other will be to input their tagline.
- Once you’ve entered your friend’s necessary details, just click on the plus button beside it, and voila! You’ve now sent your friend a friend request.
