How to Appear Offline on Valorant

Playing Valorant with your friends can be a riveting and challenging experience; however, sometimes you may want to just enjoy a match without being bested by someone else in your friend list.

To compete solo in a multiplayer match, you will need to appear offline. Unfortunately, Valorant has not yet added a feature that enables its users to easily change their status. Therefore, if you want to engage in an exciting game without being bombarded by your Valorant friends, the only way to do so is to appear offline. In this article, we will let you in on the secret how to deceive Valorant.

Appear Offline on Valorant

Because Valorant does not have a status change option for its users at this time, appearing offline requires a third-party application. However, using a third-party application is generally regarded as unfair by Valorant and can result in a ban from the game.

To evade this barrier, several third-party applications have been developed to override the Valorant server and change your status to offline. Many of these platforms have been shutdown and the users banned from Valorant. We know you don't want to get banned after putting so much effort into the game and ranking, right?

Fortunately, there is one third-party application that tricks Valorant's server by making you appear offline while playing solo in a multiplayer match. If you really want to deceive Valorant in the safest way possible, you will need to install the "Deceive" application. So far, there are no known cases of users getting banned for using Deceive.

Installing Deceive

Installing Deceive is a quick and straightforward process.

Deceive is available for download on GitHub.
As soon as the program is downloaded, you will need to create a shortcut: Deceive.exe.
Next, right-click the Deceive.exe shortcut and select “Properties.”
Once the Properties options appear, a new window will pop up and display the field name: “Target.”
Next, add an extra space following “.exe” and type “valorant.”
Press OK and run Deceive via the shortcut you added.
Launch Valorant to confirm that the application works. If everything is correct, you should see "Deceive Active" at the top of your friends list. This means that you now appear offline to your Valorant friends.

Once Deceive is up and running and your offline status has been confirmed, you can jump right into playing your next Valorant match!
