Nikhil started his gaming journey ever since he got his hands on the original PSP 1000. Games like Metal Gear, God of War, and Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy are titles that really got him into video games. Over the years, he has moved on to PC gaming and has continued his journey as a gamer. Although he's got a Bachelor’s degree in Computing under his belt, his passion for writing and gaming has led him to become a gaming writer. He loves talking about video game lores, making guides about finding rare kinds of stuff, and explaining game mechanics. He mostly specializes in writing about single-player games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Legend of Zelda, Dark Souls, and Pokemon, but He has also spent countless hours in MMORPG titles like Warframe and Destiny 2. Currently, He enjoys looking for the hidden gems in the video game industry, i.e., indie games. In the rare occasion when not gaming or writing about them, you’ll find him obsessing over the latest video game stories, releases, and also learning more about video game lores.

Inspecting a Valorant account is an excellent way to learn or showcase your own achievements, proficiency, and skills in the game. But unlike other games, Valorant lacks the profile inspecting feature in-game as it goes against their policy. Instead, you’ll have to rely on third-party tracker websites (such as tracker.gg, dak.gg, Blitz.gg) to view the comprehensive details of the account. These sites are completely safe to use and are built upon Valorant’s official API. Through these sites, you can make your Valorant account publicly viewable. But first, you’ll need to register and link your Riot ID. Here’s how you can…

Lags in Valorant (or in any game) are a common issue usually caused by hardware limitations, software configurations, or both. And since Valorant is an online-only game, we should also consider the network as a plausible factor that can induce latency lag.  Determining the correct source of the problem will make the troubleshooting process much easier. Network-related lag usually occurs if there’s any disturbance in your internet connection. E.g., high pings, frequent network disruptions, etc. As the name suggests, system-related lag occurs when there are problems with the system configuration or even the hardware. With that being said, let’s go…

Toxic gamers are prevalent in almost any type of online competitive games like CS: GO, Dota 2, and even Valorant. This is why most online games have profanity filter features to minimize players’ toxic behavior in public chat. Valorant has the Explicit Language filter option to block out curse words, and it is enabled by default to protect new players from toxic environments. While it’s best to leave it that way, if you still want to turn off the profanity filter, you can do so in the Communication options under the Controls tab.  Launch Valorant. Open Settings. Click the Cog-wheel…

Riot Games often associate a player’s GamerTag or IGN (InGame Name) as Riot ID. It consists of your username followed by a tagline. Eg. Gamingesports#GES.

To perform a Bunny Hop, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with jumping and the strafing movement. Combining both of these movements in one fluid action is basically…

With Episode 3, Valorant introduced the Account Leveling feature in order to acknowledge and reward the players for their time invested in the game. This feature also helped to give players a general idea of their teammate’s skill level. But you might want to take this feature with a grain of salt, as the Account level does not portray one’s skills in competitive matches. Having a lower Account Level doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a terrible player and vice versa. While Account Leveling was a welcomed addition to the game, it also brought some negative consequences. Players would often assume that…
