Get ready to spend tons of money on your friends, as you can now Gift bundles to your pals in VALORANT, some restrictions apply.
E-daters rejoice! You can now send a nice little Gift bundle to your online-exclusive duo in VALORANT. With patch 10.08, gifting has been added to featured items in the game's shop are available for you to purchase for your friends.
Let's go over how to do so.
How to Gift items in VALORANT
This is a popular feature in many games, with Marvel Rivals being another recent title to implement it. Of course, it took almost five years for it to come to VALORANT and there is still no replay system in effect for competitive teams to use during VOD reviews.
But I digress. If you want to send your little Discord kitten the newest, flashiest, most expensive bundle in the Riot Games FPS, just follow these steps:
- Load into VALORANT
- Navigate to the game's item Store
- Select one of the current featured bundles or items in the Store
- Click on the Gift button that appears at the bottom right corner of your screen
- Select the friend you would like to Gift the bundle/item to in VALORANT
- Choose either the entire bundle or a specific item from it
- Confirm and send the Gift
After you have sent a Gift to a VALORANT buddy, they will be given a notification next time they're on the game. They will then either accept the gift and get the bundle/items, or they'll decline it and a refund will be issued to you.
At the time of writing, Riot Games just added the Gifting feature. That means only featured store items are available. They do have plans to expand the function in future updates, so perhaps your shop rotation or even the Battle Pass will become giftable.
