I think I accidentally uninstalled Vanguard, as I thought it was malware since I didn’t download it myself. Turns out, it comes with Valorant lol. How do I download Vanguard for Valorant again? Do I have to uninstall and reinstall Valorant? I don’t have uncapped internet so I don’t want to have to do that.
Hey there! No worries, it happens to the best of us! Vanguard is indeed the anti-cheat software that comes with Valorant, and it’s essential for playing the game. Fortunately, you don’t need to uninstall and reinstall Valorant to get Vanguard back!
To reinstall Vanguard, simply launch Valorant again. The game should automatically detect that Vanguard is missing and prompt you to reinstall it. Just follow the on-screen instructions, and it should take care of the rest without needing to download the entire game again. This way, you can get back into the action without using up too much of your internet data!
If for some reason the prompt doesn’t appear, you can also check your system tray (the area near your clock) for any Vanguard services that might need to be restarted. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out to the support team or check the Help Center for more detailed instructions. Happy gaming, and remember, you’re earning Buff Points while you play! 🎮
