How to get 'On the Case' Gun Buddy in Valorant

The 'On the Case' gun buddy is a miniature magnifying glass that players will be able to equip on the side of their guns, once claimed. Riot has quipped this as unlocking the players' inner detective. The cosmetic item can be claimed once players have linked their Valorant account to their Amazon Prime account.

Those who do not have a Prime membership can avail the 30-day free trial that the company provides in order to acquire the gun buddy. The Amazon Prime subscription provides a host of free items for multiple games, including Valorant.

The unfortunate circumstance regarding Prime Gaming is the fact that it is not available in multiple locations. Hence, players from these regions will not be able to pick up the 'On the Case' gun buddy. They will have to hope that Amazon offers the Prime Gaming option to their locations soon.

Riot's FPS received a major update this week with Episode 5. The addition of the game's eighth map has also initiated a new narrative arc for the title's overarching lore. Pearl is the first map from Mirror Earth or Earth 2 that players have stepped into. The location is situated within a geo-dome underwater, and has its own unique Aesthetic that sets it apart from other maps.

The latest update also removed Split from the live map pool and added a new competitive rank between Diamond and Immortal, called Ascendant. Riot is also celebrating the first map of Earth 2 with the commencement of the Crossover Event Pass.

This will offer players, among other things, a chance to get hold of exclusive comic book-themed player cards.
