Account Level

A player's  is a system that recognizes how long they have been playing VALORANT for. Players increase their level by earning Account Points (AP) from completing matches.

Summary
Account Levels were added at the start of Episode 3 to recognize and reward all players' loyalty and time invested in the game. New accounts start at level 1, though players who had an account before Episode 3 received an amount of AP based on the number of matches they had played in previous episodes. Account levels are reset whenever a player transfers their account.

Players need to reach Level 20 in order to play Competitive.

Earning Account Points
Account Points (AP) are earned by playing and completing matchmade games. The amount gained is based on the duration (time-based) and results of the match.

A player's first win of the day will grant them 1,000 bonus AP.

Rewards
All players have their account level displayed at the top of their player card and on a border surrounding their player card avatar whenever it's displayed in game (loading screen, kill summary).

Each level requires 5,000 Account Points (AP). Every 20 levels, the borders receive small upgrades. Every 100 levels, the borders get a new color scheme, appearing to be based on the ranks used in competitive (1-99: Iron, 100-199: Bronze, 200-299: Silver, etc.):
