'I Create' gun buddy

What content is eligible?
Riot explained that you’re eligible for the gun buddy if you create content, whether it's edits of sick plays, tutorials, stream clips, reaction videos, fan art, cosplays, or anything else. However, you must keep a few things in mind to earn the gun buddy:
- You have to be the one to create the content.
- Riot has to use the content, which means that just giving permission doesn't guarantee content will be featured.
Just as its name implies, the gun buddy is more about creation than interaction, which is why the following contributions don't count:
- VALORANT comments on, retweets, or amplifies a post.
- Riot asks to feature your comment in a video.
- You're interviewed on a broadcast
- AI-created content
The Riot team will analyze all of the content as well. This process might take some time, so keep an eye on your inbox for updates about your submission.
That's all for now. Stick around for more VALORANT news, guides, and updates on esports.gg.
