Gunbuddies

 are a type of cosmetic in VALORANT. They are weapon charms that attach to weapons to modify their appearance. They can mostly be unlocked by completing Agent Contracts, earning through Battle Pass progression, or purchasing them from Collection Bundles.

There are currently 216 different gunbuddies.

Agent Contracts
All agent contracts contain a gunbuddy that is unlocked at Tier 6.

Act Battle Pass
The act battle pass contains between 9 to 12 gunbuddies which are spread out over both the paid and free tracks. These buddies are always earned at the same tier or chapter (depending on how many buddies the pass has). The free track always has 3 buddies that are always unlocked after completing chapters 2, 6, and 9, and unlocking the paid tracks gives access to up to 6-9 more buddies that are unlocked at other tiers.
