Why you need a VPN for Valorant
Online games in general suffer from lag-related issues, but in games like Valorant, they’re so much worse. That split second time-to-kill (especially when you land those headshots) means that even a milliseconds-long lag spike can be costly. Fortunately, a gaming VPN can help you out with that.
Casuals and pros alike use VPNs to make their internet connections smoother and more reliable, especially over longer distances. On top of that, a VPN can also help you stay safe. Because it masks your IP address—and encrypts all traffic between you and the VPN server you connect to—it protects your data even on public Wi-Fi, and can help you get around network blocks at school or work.
A VPN also helps you avoid DDoS attacks and get around game traffic throttling from your ISP. In the right circumstances, it can even reduce your ping.
How can a VPN reduce ping in Valorant?
With great network engineering! In some cases, the lag you get isn’t just caused by distance, but by bad signal routing, congested networks between you and the game server, and other issues like that. ExpressVPN is designed to find the fastest route between your home network and the VPN server you choose.
That means picking a VPN server close to the game server actually lets ExpressVPN bypass a lot of networking issues.
Here’s why ExpressVPN is the best VPN for Valorant
ExpressVPN is designed to make sure your virtual bullets, knives, and skills go where you want them to, and here’s how it makes that happen:
Powerful protection
Avoid DDoS attacks by masking your IP. ExpressVPN also features 256-bit AES, leak protection, a kill switch, and split tunneling.
Boost connectivity
Enjoy unlimited, premium bandwidth. Minimize ping and lag with VPN servers in 105 countries.
Bypass throttling
Limit your ISP from slowing your connection. With a VPN, data can’t be inspected, so your bandwidth won’t be throttled.
Access more online
Get the latest DLC and games from early launch date countries. Play games even if they’re censored where you are.
Play on all devices
Whether you prefer to play on a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, tablet, or phone, ExpressVPN has you covered.
Game without borders
No matter where you are around the world, simply change your region and play together with your friends.
See them before they see you with the ExpressVPN server network
When you play Valorant with a VPN, you get the best results by choosing a VPN server that’s close to the game servers that you want to play on. With 160 server locations in 105 countries, ExpressVPN makes that easy.
But that’s not all. ExpressVPN’s servers aren’t your regular, ordinary servers. They’re carefully designed to handle boat-loads of data without delay, in order to keep up with the split-second decisions and lightning-fast inputs required to survive a Valorant match. To put it another way, they’re designed to keep up with you.
Download a VPN for Valorant on any gaming device
Valorant originally launched only for PC, but now it’s on consoles too. But no matter where you play—on a budget PC or overpowered gaming rig with Windows, or on your couch with an Xbox or PlayStation—ExpressVPN has you covered.
If you like to play on Windows, just sign up for ExpressVPN, download the app, and go. On consoles, you’ll need to configure your modem/router to use ExpressVPN, which can actually allow you to protect your whole home network at once. ExpressVPN gives you unlimited VPN bandwidth, so you never have to worry about data caps.
What is Valorant?
Valorant is a first-person shooter, and is also Riot’s attempt to mash the Counter Strike formula with Overwatch. It’s actually working pretty well, and the game is quite popular, with its own esports league.
Here’s how it works: One side has to plant a bomb, the other side has to stop them. Rinse and repeat until the middle of the match, when the teams switch sides. There’s a very low time to kill, guns to buy, and plenty of grenades. You have named characters to choose from, each with a different personality, and a slew of different abilities to learn and master.
