VALORANT Account Leveling & Progression
Learn about VALORANT's account leveling system, XP requirements, rewards, and the fastest ways to level up your account and unlock exclusive borders.
How Account Leveling Works
VALORANT's account leveling system tracks your overall progress and playtime. As you gain XP through matches, you level up your account and unlock exclusive cosmetic account borders.
Unlock unique level borders every 20 levels that display around your player card. These borders become more elaborate and prestigious as you reach higher levels.
Level borders are organized into progression tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond) with increasingly impressive visual effects and designs.
