Valorant Devs Talk About Their Anti-Cheat Tools

This week’s dev blog post from the team behind Valorant talks about the development and implementation of the anti-cheat system.

The current anti-cheat system in Valorant consists of a kernel mode driver that loads during the boot system. This means that those who have downloaded Valorant will have the Vanguard system running in the background, even when not playing the game. It is possible to disable the Vanguard, but it will have to be turned back on in order to play.
