VALORANT Players Are Grinding a New Event for Exclusive Rewards

The VALORANT Night Queue Challenge is a limited-time event recently introduced by Riot Games that rewards players with cosmetics for completing gameplay objectives. This VALORANT challenge uses a milestone-based progression system. Here, players collect points through matches, combat actions, teamwork, and a social media challenge. The VALORANT Night Queue Challenge runs from March 4, 2026 (12 PM GMT) to March 23, 2026 (12 PM GMT).

What is VALORANT Night Queue & How to Participate

Players need to create an account on the ‘For The Win (FTW) challenge’ platform by using their Riot Games credentials. The registration process allows players to start tracking their match progress instantly.

Stage 1: Warming Up (March 4 – March 14, 2026)

The first milestone focuses on standard operations, excluding custom matches in the Automode. Point objectives include:

• Win a match: 5 points
• Finish a match: 1 point
• Each kill: 1 point
• Every 10,000 credits spent: 10 points
• Queue with friends: 1 point per friend (maximum 4)

An Unrated match with 18 kills, one win, and about 15,000 credits spent can give 30+ points. The Night Queue VALORANT requires players to reach 500 points to unlock the Hari Raya Homecoming Player Card.

Stage 2: Night Owl (March 14 – March 23, 2026)

The second mission takes place in Ranked, Unrated, Constant Respawn, and Spike Rush modes. The objectives are based on pure performance. Point objectives include:

• 15 or more headshots in a match: 20 points
• Team spike plant or defuse: 5 points
• Every 10 rounds won: 15 points
• Queue with friends: 1 point per friend (maximum 4)

The system awards more than 40 points when players achieve 17 headshots, three spike plants and win 13 rounds during a competitive match. Players can earn 500 points through repeated matches, which will enable them to unlock the Last Round Before Dawn Player Card.

WINGMAN’s Corner Creative Challenge, Rewards and Claiming

Players can submit a 15 to 60-second TikTok video using the WINGMAN filter from Gekko through the FTW portal. Players may submit one entry themselves. No copyrighted music, chat logs, or offensive material is allowed. The VALORANT Night Queue Challenge grants 20 points and the Alarmboi Out Spray to players who submit approved entries.
Three cosmetics are available:

• Hari Raya Homecoming Player Card (Milestone 1 – 500 points)
• Last Round Before Dawn Player Card (Milestone 2 – 500 points)
