Valorant is a team-based shooting game made by Riot Games. Many players enjoy the fun of being with others. But sometimes, you may want to play alone and not let others know you are online. Riot Games does not have a way to show you as “offline,” but there are tricks and tools to help you stay hidden.
Why go offline in valorant?
There are many good reasons to be offline:
Sometimes, you just want to practice your aim or test new agents without friends asking you to play with them.
If you want to try new plans or get better, being offline helps you stay focused without the need to play with others.
If you need a break from talking to others but still want to play, showing as offline helps you set your own rules.
For streamers or famous folks, playing without being seen can keep their lives more safe.
Go to the Deceive page on GitHub or find a safe spot to download the tool.
Install the Tool
Open Valorant
Third-party tools may break Riot’s rules, so be careful.
If you do not want to be offline but need to cut down on distractions, turn off your alerts.
How to Turn Off Notifications:
Open the Riot Client.
Find Settings at the top right.
Go to the Social tab.
Turn off alerts for friend requests, invites, and chats.
This won’t hide your online status, but it helps to cut down on distractions while you play.
Sign out of riot chat
You can log out of Riot chat to avoid the social side of the game.
How to Log Out of Riot Chat:
Open the Riot Client.
Click on your picture at the top right.
Choose Sign Out of Chat.
This means you won’t send or receive messages, but it won’t change how you play the game.
Valorant has a “Do Not Disturb” mode that stops alerts.
How to Turn On Do Not Disturb:
Open the Friends List in the Riot Client.
Click on your online status icon.
Select Do Not Disturb from the list.
This mode shows others you are not free but does not fully hide your status.
Things to keep in mind
Third-Party Tool Risks: Be careful with tools like Deceive. They might go against Riot’s rules and cause account trouble.
Respect for Friends: If you are always offline, friends might feel ignored. Mix offline time with keeping good ties.
Future Tools: Riot may add a true “appear offline” feature soon. Watch for news and updates.
Being offline in Valorant lets players enjoy quiet game time. While Riot Games does not officially support this, tools like Deceive and game settings can help. Always think about the risks of using third-party programs and keep your account safe. Whether you play alone or take a break from friends, these ways can make your gaming more fun.
