How to Get Radianite Points in VALORANT

The dependable ways to get Radianite Points in VALORANT are to claim them from the current Battlepass when they appear on its free or premium tracks, or buy an RP bundle in the in-game Store. A limited event can also award RP, but only when Riot lists it as a reward. Agent Contracts, the retired Welcome Contract, and old Prime Gaming promotions are not recurring Radianite methods in the current progression system.

Radianite Points—shown as RP in the client—upgrade compatible weapon skins after you own the base skin. They do not unlock Agents, improve weapon statistics, or buy the base Store skin.

Last verified: September 3, 2026, during VALORANT Patch 13.05. Battlepass rewards and regional Store prices can change, so the live client is the final source for the current Act.

What are Radianite Points used for?

Radianite is VALORANT's cosmetic-upgrade currency. On an eligible weapon skin, its upgrade menu can offer effects such as new animations, audio, visual effects, a finisher, or color variants. The exact levels depend on that collection; a skin without upgrade levels has nothing for RP to unlock.

Buying an upgrade does not change the weapon's damage, recoil, fire rate, or hit registration. Riot describes Store cosmetics as optional customization rather than a gameplay advantage.

For current regional VP costs, use the VALORANT Points price guide and confirm the final amount in your own client before paying.

How do you earn Radianite from the Battlepass?

1. Open Battlepass in the VALORANT client.
2. Inspect every tier and identify the RP rewards on the free and premium tracks. Do not rely on an older Act's total.
3. Check the end time before deciding how much progress is realistic.
4. Play eligible matchmade modes and complete the active missions to progress through the pass.
5. Return to the Battlepass screen and confirm that each reached RP reward has been added to the balance shown in the client.

You can progress along the pass without buying it and receive rewards marked free. Purchasing the premium track exposes its paid rewards, but it does not turn every tier into Radianite. The exact number and placement of RP rewards are Act-specific.

If you are deciding when to buy, the premium pass's XP boost applies only under Riot's stated rules; see how the VALORANT Battlepass XP boost works rather than assuming it multiplies mission XP.

Can events give free Radianite?

They can, but an event is a valid method only while its live reward track explicitly shows Radianite Points. Riot changes event formats and rewards, so an old screenshot, promotion code, or article is not proof of a current offer.

Before spending time on an event, check all three of these details in the client or an official Riot announcement:

• RP is named as a reward rather than VP, Kingdom Credits, XP, or a cosmetic;
• the event is available in your region and on your platform;
• the claim deadline has not passed.

Which old Radianite methods no longer belong in a current guide?

The former Welcome Contract and old Agent Contract system should not be presented as repeatable RP farms. VALORANT's progression has changed, and current Agent Gear uses a separate system. Likewise, a historical Prime Gaming drop does not make an active Amazon membership a standing Radianite source.

How do you buy Radianite Points?

Use the RP purchase option inside the official VALORANT client and pay with the VP already on your Riot account. Review the exact bundle and final VP charge shown for your region before confirming; bundle sizes, currency pricing, taxes, and platform availability can change.

Do not give a third-party “generator,” marketplace, or support account your Riot credentials. Riot's Store is the reliable purchase route, and Radianite is listed among the in-game content that is not normally refundable. If the balance or purchase history looks wrong, capture the transaction details and contact official VALORANT Support.

How can you avoid wasting Radianite?

1. Open the skin's upgrade tree first. Confirm which level unlocks the effect or variant you actually want.
2. Check prerequisites. Some later options require earlier levels, so the visible variant price may not be your full cost.
3. Prioritize weapons you use. A frequently equipped rifle upgrade usually gives you more visible value than an upgrade on a rarely used weapon.
4. Keep a reserve. A future collection may have an effect you prefer, while RP purchases generally cannot be refunded.
5. Separate ownership from upgrades. Radianite does not unlock an old Battlepass skin you missed. The old Battlepass skins guide explains the acquisition limitation.

Radianite Points FAQ

Can you get Radianite for free?

Yes, when the current Battlepass marks RP on its free track or Riot runs a free event that explicitly awards it. The amount is not permanent, so check the active reward screen.

Can you convert VP into Radianite?

Not through an open conversion rate. You can spend VP on one of the RP bundles displayed in the Store. Check the client for the exact bundle offered in your region.

Do Agent Contracts give Radianite?

Do not use the retired Agent Contract or Welcome Contract instructions as a current method. Current Agent progression is separate from Radianite, and its rewards should be checked under Agent Gear in the live client.

Does Prime Gaming give Radianite?

An old promotional drop does not establish an ongoing benefit. Count Prime Gaming only if a current, official offer names Radianite and shows an unexpired claim window.

Can you refund a Radianite purchase or skin upgrade?

Riot lists Radianite Points and weapon-skin upgrades among non-refundable in-game content. Review the upgrade path and Store confirmation carefully before spending.
