‘I Create’ gun buddy

In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, Riot acknowledges and appreciates the diligent Valorant art creators for their time and dedication in crafting the game’s distinct appearance. To express this appreciation, Riot is offering all artists a special gun buddy named ‘I Create.’ After completing some basic tasks, Riot will reward you with Dan the Penguin, who is dressed up as Wingman, in your inventory.

1. Create VALORANT art.
2. Riot Games will reach out to you asking if they can feature that content. The next step will only be available after you give them the green light.
3. The content will be featured on VALORANT’s channels. If you were featured before, fill out this form. You will only be able to fill out this form once, so please make sure your answers are accurate.
4. You get an “I Create” Gun Buddy!

What content is eligible?

As a passionate gamer, here’s how Riot puts it: “Hey there, if you’re into creating content around our game, whether that’s showcasing epic plays, teaching tips, streaming highlights, reacting to moments, designing fan art, or even cosplaying characters, you might just qualify for the Gun Buddy! However, remember a few key points to actually earn it:

• You have to be the one to create the content.
• Riot has to use the content, which means that just giving permission doesn’t guarantee content will be featured.

As suggested by its title, the Gun Buddy primarily focuses on creation rather than interaction, so the subsequent submissions you mention won’t be considered.

• VALORANT comments on, retweets, or amplifies a post. 
• Riot asks to feature your comment in a video.
• You’re interviewed on a broadcast
• AI-created content

The Riot squad will also review all the provided content thoroughly. Please note that this may take a while, so watch out for emails regarding the status of your submission.
