Fariha Bhatti Published 01/11/2023

Iso is the latest Valorant agent to join the duelist roster. Eager players can unlock the new agent right away or within 30 days, here’s how. 

Valorant patch 7.09 nerfs Raze and the beloved weapon Judge, but it also adds a powerful duelist to balance things. Iso joins the battle between the two earths as a stylish initiator-like duelist, weilded with a power to block bullets. 

Like every new agent, Iso would require some work to be unlocked and become playable. Here are some ways to unlock Iso in Valorant. 

Valorant Recruitment event for Iso

Iso is the first agent to be released since Riot announced Valorant recruitment event, a new process that makes it easier for players to unlock new characters. Iso’s recruitment event is currently live, meaning those who are playing Valorant are working towards unlocking him by default. 

Iso’s recruitment event will run for 30 days, during which players must earn 200,000 XP to add him to the protocol. Once the event ends, players must look at other ways to unlock Iso.

Purchase an agent contract

Eager players with packed wallets can purchase Iso right away for 1,000 Valorant points, which converts to $10. While expensive, this is the only way to flex early Iso access on your friends without participating in the Valorant recruitment event for 30 days. 

Kingdom Credits

What if you didn’t play Valorant during the first 30 days of Iso’s recruitment event? Fret not, Iso will still be available, but you will need to have plenty of Kingdom Credits. After a month, Iso will be available for purchase in exchange of 8,000 Kingdom Credits. 

However, only dedicated Valorant players will be able to purchase him since Kingdom Credits are earned via playtime. So, if you’re confident you have enough hours in Valorant, sit back and wait for the dust to settle. Iso will still be there after a month.
