How To Appear Offline On Valorant

Method 1: Use Deceive to Appear Offline on Valorant

As there is no official method to remain offline while you play Valorant, proceed with caution. Riot claims this to be a safe method but given how randomly Vanguard works, it might end up not working in the future.
By using this method, you will be able to see all your friends, chat with them, or invite them as well. However, since you will appear offline to them, they will not be able to do the same. As a result, they will not be able to locate you in their social section in-game.
So, follow the steps below to turn yourself invisible in Valorant. Before you proceed, make sure your Riot Client is turned off before you start the Deceive app.
When you are in-game, you will see a friend in your friend list named Deceive Active. This indicates the method worked. You can disable this by quitting the game and closing Deceive from the system tray. Once you restart the game without Deceive, the game will restore your online appearance. However, keep in mind that the developer can make changes to Vanguard or their social appearance system to make this third-party application not work as intended.

Method 2: Remove Certain Players to Appear Offline

While the method above to appear offline on Valorant is unofficial, there is another way you can appear offline to select people without putting anything at risk. For this method, you need to completely remove a friend on Valorant, and here is how you can do that:
That is all you need to know about playing Valorant without remaining offline to others. As Riot Games does not offer status-changing options, the above-mentioned methods are your best way to appear offline in Valorant. While blocking players, make sure they haven’t changed their name in Valorant.
