Valorant’s Episode Six, Act One, which was released on January 12th, 2023, brought a new three-site map in Lotus, the return of Split, and more. However, for the game’s dedicated ranked players, there’s a missing piece. Many players who loaded into Valorant at the start of Episode Six, Act One today were expecting to receive their ranked gun buddy, which prominently features the highest rank they achieved during the previous episode, but it’s not there.

Typically, players receive their ranked gun buddy at the end of an episode, with the same color as the rank they achieved. However, due to a bug or mistake, many players are not receiving their ranked gun buddy.

The developers are aware of the issue and are working to fix it as soon as possible. They have also stated that they will compensate the players who were affected by this issue, but they haven’t released any information about how or when this compensation will be provided. In the meantime, players are advised to be patient, and if they still don’t have their ranked gun buddy after a few days into the episode, they should contact Riot support.
