Riot Games will now reward players with gun buddies in VALORANT for making their accounts more secure.

VALORANT was Riot Gamesโ€™ first foray into the tactical shooter market. And despite the intense competition from established players, Riot somehow managed to carve up a solid niche for themselves in this competitive genre.

Like most free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter games, security is a big deal for Riot Games. As such, VALORANT allows players to turn on two-factor authentication to keep their account safe from unwanted attacks.

And by doing so, Riot will now reward players who enabled 2FA with a gun buddy that looks like a lock. So, without any further delay, let us guide you on how to enable this procedure that will make your account safer.

How to Unlock โ€œKeep it Saferโ€ Gunbuddy

As mentioned earlier, to unlock the โ€œKeep it Saferโ€ gun buddy, players will need to enable two-factor authentication on their Riot account.

Step-by-step process on how to turn on 2FA:

Hereโ€™s how you can enable Two-Factor Authentication to your Riot Games account:

  • Go to the official Riot Games site
  • Sign in with your Riot account
  • There should now be a banner at the top that says, โ€œTwo-factor authentication is now availableโ€
  • Click the โ€œEnable 2FAโ€
  • An email should be sent after that, click โ€œEnable Two-Factor Authenticationโ€ from there as well
  • Youโ€™re all set

After you are done with this process, the โ€œKeep it Saferโ€ gun buddy will be added to your account.
