How to Use and Earn Kingdom Credits in Valorant

Kingdom Credits is the in-game currency that was introduced in episode 07: EVOLUTION. You can earn it simply by playing the game and spend it to get Agents you want in VALORANT.

Earn the credits for various match-making game modes, but you won't get any if your behavior is reported.

As you can see in the table, you get the most for winning, but you at least get some Kingdom Credits just for playing a round. If you do Checkpoints, that's 150 credits each, so those are the most worth (you can do 4 a day).

If you unlock Agents' Gear, you can get 2,000 from Tier 5 of each one, except not Brimstone, Jett, Phoenix, Sage, and Sova.

You can hold up to 10,000 Kingdom Credits in VALORANT.

4 Steps to Unlocking All Valorant Agents

Step 1

From the main menu, click "COLLECTION" and then "AGENTS" just below it to view your locked and unlocked agents.

Step 2

Click on the locked agent that you wish to unlock. Then, click "ACTIVATE" at the bottom of their picture, which will activate the contract for that agent. Then, press "VIEW CONTRACT" in the bottom right corner.

Step 3

Now you are looking at the contract for the agent. Notice at level 5 (out of 10), you actually unlock the agent. You earn XP for leveling simply through playing games with any agent.

Step 4 (optional)

It does take a fair amount of games to get any agent contract to level 5.

So, if you're eager for your 8th, 9th, and 10th agents, you can pay to unlock contract levels. It costs 200 Valorant points (about $2 USD) per level, so to get from level 1 to 5, it would cost you 1000 points (about $10 USD). Again, this is optional, as it is possible to grind games to unlock all 10 current agents.
