How do Rank Buddies work in Valorant?
Rank Buddies in Valorant are basically bragging rights in a tiny, hang-from-your-gun form. They're awarded at the end of an Act based on the highest rank you achieved during that Act. So, if you hit Diamond but dropped to Platinum before the Act ended, you'll still get the Diamond Rank Buddy. It's Riot's way of saying 'Hey, you were awesome this season!' Remember, you only get them after the Act ends, so keep grinding!

Simple: You play well, you get cool stuff. Rank Buddies show off your peak rank, not where you ended. Get good, get a buddy!
Honestly, they're just cosmetic, but a sweet way to show off your highest rank to everyone you play against. It's all about the flex.
