The only real data ever collected on Valorant's rarest item.

2.5 Years.
One Square at a Time.

Every square is one week of research - in live Valorant lobbies, finding owners, asking the same two questions. The brighter the square, the more owners found that week!

Each square is one week. Between Oct 2023 - Mar 2026.

Top Questions
That Everyone Asks.

How did you know exactly what skins I had?

I use a third-party tool that reads publicly available Valorant data - skins, buddies, everything that you have. And it's not bannable. If you are curious about what the app name is - I legally cannot name the tool right now, but the full explanation is one page away.

Why does this research even exist?

Because in 2023 Keeoh posted a video saying that there was nothing left to make content off in Valorant. I didn't really agree since the Riot Gun Buddy had zero real content online - just community guesses and Reddit myths. I had the access and the persistence to go get the actual answers. So I did.

So what did you actually find out?

That the community had some things right and a lot wrong. Connections matter more than anyone admitted. Sportsmanship is real and measurable. And some patterns in the data still have no explanation. 450 conversations worth of answers are in the FAQ.
