VALORANT Points
VP is the only way to buy skins in VALORANT. The packs aren’t priced proportionally — the biggest returns roughly 16% more VP per dollar than the smallest.
VP packs and what they’re worth
| Price (USD) | VP | Bonus included | VP per $ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $4.99 | 475 | — | 95.2 | |
| $9.99 | 1,000 | — | 100.1 | |
| $19.99 | 2,050 | +50 | 102.6 | |
| $34.99 | 3,650 | +150 | 104.3 | |
| $49.99 | 5,350 | +350 | 107.0 | |
| $99.99 | 11,000 | +1,500 | 110.0 | Best value |
US store prices. Riot prices VP regionally rather than converting a single figure, so your local rate will differ — but the shape holds everywhere: larger packs include bonus VP, smaller ones don’t.
Why the big packs are cheaper per point
The lower tiers give you a flat amount of VP for your money. From the middle of the range upward, Riot adds bonus VP on top of the base amount — 1,500 extra on the $99.99 pack alone.
That bonus is the entire reason the rate improves. If you already know you’re buying a premium skin, one larger purchase costs less than the same VP assembled from small ones — and VP doesn’t expire, so there’s no penalty for holding it.
Where to buy
Buying in-client from Riot is the direct route and always works. Gift cards are the other option: they credit the same VP, they can be bought for someone else, and third-party sellers sometimes price them under Riot’s own rate.
One caution worth stating plainly. A gift card from a reputable retailer is fine, but any site offering VP at an implausible discount, or asking for your Riot login to “top up” your account, is not selling you VP. Riot never needs your password to credit a card.
Common questions
Which VALORANT Points pack is best value?
The largest one. At US prices the 99.99 pack returns about 110 VP per dollar against roughly 95 for the smallest — about 16% more VP for the same money. The gap comes from bonus VP, which only the larger tiers include.
Do VALORANT Points expire?
No. VP sits on your account indefinitely, so buying a larger pack to get the better rate doesn't put you on a clock.
Can I refund unused VP?
Yes, within 14 days of purchase and only if you haven't spent it. It goes back to your original payment method via a support ticket rather than through order history.
Are VALORANT gift cards the same as buying VP directly?
Functionally yes — a gift card credits VP to your account. The practical differences are that a card can be bought for someone else, and that third-party sellers sometimes discount them below Riot's own price.
Do VP prices change between regions?
Substantially. Riot prices regionally rather than converting one figure, so the amount of VP per unit of currency differs from country to country. The prices here are the US store's.
