What is the "I Create" Gun Buddy?
There are few things we love more than to feature the awesome creations of our community. And since y'all have been more than generous in sharing your works, we wanted a better way to say "thank you."
Which is why we created an entirely new gun buddy just for featured community members. It's Dan the Penguin, cosplaying as Wingman, an homage to all our creative community members out there.
How can I get an "I Create" Gun Buddy?
You can get an "I Create" Gun Buddy in four simple steps:
- You create awesome VAL content.
- We reach out asking if we can feature that content, and you give us the green light.
- Your content is featured on VALORANT's channels.
- You get an "I Create" Gun Buddy!
Just about any kind of content can be eligible, including (but not limited to!) edits of sick plays, tutorials, stream clips, reaction videos, fan art, cosplays… If you created it, you're golden!
There are a few things to keep in mind:
- This has to be content YOU create—not something somebody else made that you're just sharing.
- We have to actually use the content. Just giving permission doesn't guarantee content will be featured.
- Just as its name implies, the "I Create" gun buddy is more about creation than interaction, which is why the following contributions don't count:
- VALORANT comments on, reposts, or amplifies a post.
- We ask to feature your comment in a video.
- You're interviewed on broadcast
- AI-created content
What if I was featured by VALORANT before this rolled out?
As of June 6, 2025, we are no longer receiving new requests to obtain the I Create Gun Buddy, if you were featured prior to this content rolling out.
If you were featured and have been in contact with us after May 6, 2025, please contact the Riot Games representative that reached out to you to feature your content, to coordinate receiving your I Create Gun Buddy!
