Valorant is one of the leading FPS titles globally, with an average playerbase of over 13 million active monthly players. Similar to other popular multiplayer games, Riot Games' popular shooter title also offers a diverse range of in-game cosmetics that appeal to the game's global audience.

Over the years, Riot Games has presented its FPS audience with several free loot drops, available through Twitch drops or from redeem.playvalorant.com. However, Valorant's most famous collaboration project is with Amazon Prime Gaming, a project that stretches across Valorant, League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra.

The Prime Gaming rewards program grants players access to several exclusive items for free, including weapon skins, player cards, gun buddies, and player titles. Players can redeem these limited-edition items by following the steps mentioned below.
