How to Unlock Agents in VALORANT?
VALORANT is a popular free-to-play first-person shooter developed and published by Riot Games. The game features unique playable characters known as Agents. Each Agent has a unique set of 4 abilities that offer different playstyles and performs one of the four main roles: Sentinel, Duelist, Initiator, and Controller. There are currently 22 – after Gekko was released – Agents in the game, and new ones are released with major patches.
Five Agents (Brimstone, Jett, Phoenix, Sage, and Sova) are available for free when players begin the game. By reaching levels 5 and 10, players can gain access to two additional Agents for free. The remaining Agents can be obtained in two ways: through grinding or by purchasing them.
The Free Method: How to Unlock VALORANT Agents by Grinding
Grinding contracts is the primary method for obtaining free Agents. Each contract has ten stages that must be completed with experience. The total XP cost to complete a contract is 975,000 XP, but players only need to reach stage 5 to unlock the agent, which costs 200,000 XP. Completing daily and weekly missions is the quickest way to gain XP.
To activate a contract, players need to follow these steps:
- Launch the game.
- Click on the Agents tab.
- Select the Agent that you want to unlock.
- Press the “Activate” button.
- Grind out the required XP.
- Congratulations on unlocking your new Agent.

It’s worth noting that if you’re looking to unlock a specific agent, buying the agent directly with VALORANT points is the fastest way to do it. However, if you don’t have a specific agent in mind and are willing to grind for XP, then the free method is a good option.
