How to refund a skin in VALORANT in 2024?

Riot Games regularly introduces new and captivating skins to the game, prompting players to make impulsive purchases. To accommodate this, VALORANT offers a method for players to refund a skin if they no longer wish to own it. It’s important to note that unlike CS2, skins in VALORANT are not tradable on a market. However, there are some exceptions for refunds. Players cannot get a refund on the following items:

• Used weapon skins
• Upgraded weapon skins
• Used in-game content (Gun Buddies, Player Cards, etc.)
• Character contract levels
• Weapon skin levels
• Weapon skin bundles
• Premium Battle Passes
• Premium Battle Pass levels
• Radianite points

Below are the steps players need to follow to get a refund:

• Open your preferred internet browser.
• Go to the Riot Games website.
• Log in with the account credentials used to purchase the skins on your PC.
• Locate the ‘My Order History’ section in the menu.
• All purchases made by the player in the game will be listed there with the Refund option next to each purchase.
• Click on the Refund button. The website will launch the game’s client on your device for a quick patch, after which the refunds will be made in-game.
